Hi guys, there is an error in the leaderboard for an earlier car, the Infiniti Q60. The time for that car should be 1:05.74 (not 1:07.74), so the BMW 540i xDrive (with Paul at the wheel) is in third place. We will correct that in the next video, and we deeply apologize for the error. Thanks for your support!

Hi there fellas!
