Motorsport engineering company Rennwerk GMBH took an Arrows A22 Formula 1 car to an open track day at Circuit Zolder in Belgium. This provides a nice comparison between a vintage formula 1 car and the other track day sports cars you'd normally see at this track.
The Arrows A22 competed in the 2001 Formula One season, and I think this car was the one driven by Jos Verstappen. It was originally fitted with an Asiatech naturally aspirated V10 engine, with a little less power than the previous year's Supertec engine.
The best result for the year was Austria, and at that circuit in qualifying Michael Schumacher got pole with 1:09.562 and the Arrows of Enrique Bernoldi was 15th with 1:11.823. In other words, this car was 3% slower than the fastest F1 car in 2001, but still pretty quick compared to almost anything else :)
