Someone massively underestimated Keke Rosberg's record lap

The article stated that Keke Rosberg's pole lap at Silverstone was at an average speed of 200kph. However, that was inaccurate, since the lap time was a 1:05.591, on a 4,718 km circuit. Doing the maths, this equates to a 258.95 kph average speed, which is, as near as makes no difference, approximately 160-161 mph. 86.105.254.20 (talk) 16:52, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
