But among us are people who ask themeselves  wich is the speed of the car not outside,on the roads but inside. 

The Stig, drived a Toyota F1 car with 81 mph after he was clocked at 70 mph in a production Chevrolet Lacetti, in an empty hall in London.

Last week Phil Cooper, champion in the British Autograss Series set an 82 mph record in this race car,powered by a Toyota engine.

The event was organized by Autosport and Autocar andd took place on 12 December at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham.

The highest speed indoor by a road-legal car was achieved by Autocar editor Steve Sutcliffe who was clocked at 76.8 mph in a road-legal Ariel Atom.
