The only one. If i remember correctly, most of the cars scratched the 370 barrier, topping at a high 36X.
But again, that is actually an incredible speed, that's why i was trying to explain it earlier as the result of a bug on the transmitted data, or the advantage that BMW took from someone else's wake, or a particular engine mapping BMW wanted to try for that run, ...(or even a lapsus of the commentator saying 380 instead of 370 and fooling our sight...who knows...)

PS: isn't that the actual meaning of often invoked word "unofficial"...?

Weren't ol' Adolf's fabulously futuristic 'Silver Arrows' already lapping the likes of the
- incredible 43 degree banked - Avus track in downtown Berlin ~80 years ago at ~300kmh speeds?

I think his scientists/engineers did a bit of UFO shenanigans too.. ..since Hitler himself was into space-age tech..
& some of his boys even got men driving about on the moon, a bit later on..
..but ironically that happened closer - time-wise - to the `30s, than to us..

& if a lovely female space alien like this one.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgqTS3XcAuI
..stepped out of her UFO wanting to further relations between us..
..Well, I reckon I'd have to consider her request.. ..for like a nano second..
"Well, we knocked the bastard off!"

tractor - with a few extemporised mod's to hack the task).

Exactly like variante post: we're limited to word of mouth.

I hope he could post a reference to a newspaper or something besides his word, if he's so kind (no disrespect intended), to change the Wikipedia article on F1 records.
UFO's actually do exist and official government documentation confirms this. What they don't state is what they are and where they come from. :P
