The reigning Bathurst 1000 winner clocked the incredible time during a brief outing last Wednesday in the machine in which he won the recent World Time Attack Challenge<\/a> in Sydney.<\/p>\n

Hazelwood and the Tanuki operation have now set their sights on lapping the 3.1km, six-turn QR circuit in under 60 seconds \u2013 a mission dubbed \u2018Project 60\u2019.<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s lap is said to be the fastest lap ever undertaken at the Ipswich venue, although is not an official record due to being set during a private session.<\/p>\n

Incredibly, Hazelwood set the time on his first hot lap in the car after emerging uninjured from a rollover while on driving coaching duties in a Hyundai Excel.<\/a><\/p>\n

For context, Hazelwood\u2019s lap was just under six seconds quicker than the fastest qualifying lap achieved by a Gen3 Supercar at the venue last month.<\/p>\n

The outright race lap record at Queensland Raceway is held by Simon Wills, who piloted a Reynard 94D Formula Holden around the venue in 1:04.0661s shortly after it opened in 1999.<\/p>\n
