You can definitely hit 120mph in an M3 with r-compounds going up the hill if you brake at the last possible moment.


You have to take 2 and 3 just right to keep you're speed up and dive into turn 4. Going this quickly into 4 will often screw up your approach into 5, but trust me, it can be done.

Of course, average speed at H2R is significantly slower then someplace like MSR. They've also repaved the track recently and taken out many of the bumps (including the 'bump of doom' at he start/finish) so it should be a bit faster. I probably misspoke about the '-130mph', especially when considering a heavy M3.
