The Vesco streamliner, Turbinator II, is a little faster but it doesn't corner well. https://teamvesco.com/

Hell, they changed it from a right hand drive cockpit to a left hand drive, and forgot to take the dash binnacle over !

In that same era Lotus raced their 56B with a Pratt and Whitney turbine. Was not very successful in F1 due to throttle lag out of corners. The Lotus 56 Indy car almost won in 1968. Ovals much more suited a turbine due to more constant speeds.
