Back in December, rfactorcentral started the XMAS 1000 hotlap competition for everybody who donated money to the site.
Using the Panoz Esperante GTLM on the Mid Ohio Sports Car Course, over 200 drivers competed for the $1000 cash prize for the fastest lap. 19,431 laps have been recorded and only one driver managed to lap under 1:20 – David Greco’s 1:19.999 ended up to be worth one grand.
You can see David’s lap and the runner up time by rakesh101 below. The full results table can be viewed here, it is worth a mentioned that Mid Ohio co-creator Monsum was only able to set the 202th quickest time. Obviously, inside knowledge of the track isn’t everything….

David said he uses a G25. Not sure if he has replacement pedals though. I would love to see more details on his setup. I noticed he was able to brake much deeper then I was. I suspect he has some really good pedals.
Tom Milner worked with ISI on the Panoz and drives it in real life, managed 26th. Not bad.
The server crashed on the last day so I wasn’t able to record my best time. I would have placed 46th but was left with 62nd place. :(
That was a fun competition. I look forward to the next one. I hope they don’t use an open wheeler though.

hypertek, yes, he was the one that won that hotlap comp and then got to drive a real car against a driver from the real series.
