Formula Ford EcoBoost - on Road and Nürburburgring

YouTube Description:

You see, big car companies can have a sense of humour! Take a Formula Ford racer, add a tuned 1 litre 3cyl motor with over 200hp and you have a car which ace racer Nick Tandy got around the Ring in 7min 22sec. That's special, but even more special when it's on the public highway.

That right-side wheel fairing on that last fast straight was deforming more than I'd like at that speed!

Just means you'll get to go through the pearly gates backwards, and on fire. Come on ya big wimp die with dignity!

And they'd say "at least he died doing what he loved", prompting some wiseguy to quip: "LOL he loved going backwards on fire?"

But what was his time?

Near the front I believe it was 7:22.

...road legal in Europe maybe. North America (up here in Canuckland anyway) requires these little things we like to call "bumpers".

But what was his time?

I want one soooooo much...

One of the comments says 8:36, but doesn't provide a source... perhaps worked it out from the vid? It's certainly over 8 minutes and under 9, so quite quick but not quite the bonkers 7:22 from Nick Tandy. For reference, that's not a whole lot slower than James Hunt's pole position time of 7:06.5 in the 1976 German Grand Prix, the last one held on the track.

But what was his time?
