Cool video of a guy getting under 10 minutes on the Nurburgring after 7 years trying

AX diesel Nurburgring record lap 9:55 BTG - YouTube

Long video, but pretty good production quality. Must be nice to live within driving distance of this track, too.

Very cool, I would love to be able to drive that track just once in my life.

Agreed. That would be pretty epic. Probably costs a truckload to get a vehicle transported over there and back.

When I win the lottery I am buying a GT500 or the new SVT cobra if that happens. Then shipping there and back. Love that track and the vid of the GT500.

Man, he was driving the piss out of that little diesel

Agreed! I love watching Nurburgring videos. It's really fun watching the pros do it. Most recent was the new Z/28. ZR-1, GT500 and Viper vids are a blast, too.

I found the video on Autoblog. Write up there mentioned this little diesel only has like 52hp!!! So, he barely used the brakes and had to keep her wound up.

That was a fun video to watch. The diesel was moving on out! Congrats to him.

The Gran Turismo banner on his windshield! That car has high hopes! Man, I'd love to drive even that car on the Ring.

None of you probably have ever had the good misfortune of having to drive an old French hatchback, this man is a hero. The suspension on those things is horrible, they feel like rolling over on every single turn.

Ps. Some GT500 guys shipped their cars over last year to do a trip with some euro shelby guys.

I work for a German company and have been over there twice, but never got the time to make it to the Ring.

You can rent cars to take around the track, but it's not cheap, but for a once in a lifetime adventure it's probably worth it. Maybe next time
