    I have cycled in the area of the Nürburgring and it is spectacular riding. Too bad the course can't be used for F1. It would be the best race of the year.

    I went around (not driving, as a passenger) in probably 8:40-8:45 once with my co-worker on an industry day back in 2006. Sub 7 is beyond my stones.

    That place is SO cool. You can feel the ghosts.

    I hope that track stays around for another century.

    Watch the new Camaro do it in the rain. Just spectacular driving. That POS is trying to kill him.

    what they never show is that when you and i pitch up and pay the price of a ticket, that we have to share with motorcyclists....suicidal ones at that.

    i did it in 89 ina brand new 320i...... brown trousers were de rigeur....

    cool vids.
    there's also a pov of a kawasaki ninja something blasting around that track.
    it's exhausting just to watch.
    as great as these vids are, i don't think they can possibly come close to what christian has witnessed first hand.

    I've raced there (motorcycle) and it's exhausting to learn,very cool track though just so many corners!
    I don't remember my times,I'll try and find them,I was on an MV Agusta 175cc so not that fast in the straights just light enough to not lose anything in the corners.

    Thanks for sharing Mike!

    There is a 24 hour cycle race run on this circuit - a customer sent me these photos

    I liked the top gear episode where Sabine Schmitz tries to go under 10mins in a ford transit van. Now that's impressive driving...
