Let's see... the lap was at 132.272 miles/hour = 2.205 miles /minute. We know the full course at the Glen is roughly 3.4 miles long, so 3.4/2.205 = 1.54 minutes. 1.54 minutes = 1:32.4 sec. Allowing for round off error...

YES they are lapping the full course at the Glen in 1:32 Minutes!
Yikes!
What kind of speed must they be carrying up the S's?
How about turn 9? Most of us grit our teeth and hold on, those guys and gal must be accelerating hard there.
