So, um, does insurance cover wrecking your car at the Nordschleife? I think technically it is a public road.

I found this video after watching the Porsche 918 do a 6:57 at the Nordschleife, and I got to wondering about the car which holds the all time lap record... the Porsche 956. This video includes an interview with their designer, where they talk about the design of the cars and what made them so special.

A hell of a ride at the Nordschleife. has been added as a related post - related requested by oritteropo on that post.

Not really, because the tyre failure was after he set the record... and any landing you can walk away from is a good landing

Thanks anyway though.

That's not just any track, that's the Nordschleife, Nürburgring. I worked it out about half way around, but confirmed by looking at the yt description

I want to know her time!

The only good things about American cars I've heard them say in a while were that the Cadillac CTS-V was pretty good (well, the suspension was developed at the Nordschleife, if you can get it around there you can't be too far off), Jeremy liked the ZR1 (at first, he's changed his mind since), Hammond liked the Challenger (he would...) and that the new Camaro isn't horrible (but that's an Australian car, all the important bits are by Holden). Have there been other remarks I've missed/forgotten?>> ^arghness:

Good coverage, missed out many observations about Americans and their vehicles, or Stig's American cousin.
In fairness, Top Gear seems to have had more good things to say about American cars recently.

The Forza franchise is an incredibley pore simulator im sure if you played some of the leading pc sims you would have allot more enjoyment.
The best simulatoins at the moment are I racing, Richard burns rally , R factor , Gtr Evo , LFS , netcar pro
non of the Forza games have come close to these.

I'm not 100% certain on this but this guys driving style seems a bit jerky and forced unsettling the car before corners Faster more talented drivers tend to be allot smoother.


it's Toshio Suzuki. he's 54 and one of the official Nissan R35 test drivers. you're right, he wouldn't be world class in terms of talent, his speed would come mostly from his knowledge of the car.

>> ^Throbbin:
Great vid.
I can't help but think many of those corners looked familiar, from Gran Turismo or some similar game.


Yup, it is called Nurburgring in the Gran Turismo games.

Badass. When I eventually take a trip to Germany, I HAVE to go drive on this track! It's open to the public, and $30 gets you a lap in your car.


That would be a dream come true!
