M3 GTR around the Ring. [Video]

I have watched a lot of Nurburgring videos, but the GTR seems to be one of the faster.

I would love to do that, provided the necessary safety measures. I think his average speed was about 67mph from a rough estimate. I've seen the fastest time an M3 GTR pull was about a minute shorter than that at 7:16 or so, and can imagine it would be shorter without other cars in the way. A Carerra S or GT3 could run it just as fast. I would love to see a full list of times for Nurburgring. What is the RX8 time?

I can't seem to find a time for the 8, although I see that the 350Z ran the track in 8:26 while the M3 GTR has run it in 7:06. Murci 7:46, CGT 7:28 for comparison.

I think in this video he is running a slightly different track, he might be going on the GP course, that's why the time is so much longer.

If you want to be truly frightened, watch this lap: http://tinyurl.com/6lvk3

Will he take out the motorcyclists? Will he hit a bridge? Will he ever get the car straight?

That looks a bit scary. Those old Porsches were mean, very hard to drive. I don't think I'd ever be a good enough driver to do it in one of those.
