On our 15th trip to Virginia International Raceway, we set lap times in 21 of the best performance cars of the year. Over three days of hammering tires and brakes on America's most grueling road course, a few records fell, some old scores were settled, and we came to the realization that this in no way resembles work.

Hey all! Thanks for watching. To answer some of the most commonly asked questions: Where's the Chevrolet Corvette? We ran it last year: www.caranddriver.com/features/a35368145/2020-chevrolet-corvette-stingray-z51-lightning-lap/ Where's the Tesla Model S Plaid and Model 3 Performance? We'd love for them to show up next year. Where's the Porsche Taycan? It ran last year: www.caranddriver.com/features/a35386386/2020-porsche-taycan-turbo-s-lightning-lap/ Where's the leaderboard?

The FWD, economy car-based Civic Type R posting an identical time to the Ford GT from the first LL is poetic. Every year's Lightning Lap has many stories. This one is my favourite of this year.

I wonder if we can get them to test the Mach 1 with the automatic and Handling Package next year. Given how much quicker the 10R80 accelerates over the manual, a new LL2 lap record could be set!

I've always been impressed by Porsche's ability to improve the GT3 from gen to gen without adding turbos or a ton of more horsepower, it's one of my favorites all time. The Mustang is a great package for the money it's too bad (and greedy) dealers are marking them up so much.

Mach E GT, Model 3 Performance, Plaid? And here’s a prediction, the Electra N makes some fans on the track next year, maybe the Kona N too.
