Nurburgring Lap Times
One of the best ways to experience the Nurburgring Nordschleife is in a private event or trackday. It's also one of the safest ways to time your laps. Without the pressure of a real race meeting, but with fewer dangerous traffic 'moments' than in touristenfahrt.

Just a quick snippet to start you off this Saturday morning. An article came to my attention at the ever-more-interesting Pistonheads website.
Chris Rosamond was lucky enough to attend a recent GTR event at Silverstone. Here he not only met the infamous/notorious Kazutoshi Mizuno* but also interviewed him and got some juicy tidbits... read more here!

Maybe it wouldn't be your first choice as a Nürburgring weapon, but you have to admit the Bentley Continental GT Supersport seems to waft along quite nicely in this video. Presented and driven by Derek Bell (a personal hero, I freely admit, you can read about when I met him here)... more info about this Bentley and a great video after the jump.

McLaren's MP4-12C has recorded a 7m28s laptime at the Nürburgring Nordschleife under the skilled hands of German magazine SportAuto. While that's still a long* way off the Viper ACR and Lexus L-FA laptimes, it's still pretty awesome in my opinion. More info and a video after the jump

I should probably be posting this under amusing/amazing instead of Nürburgring Nordschleife laptimes, but what the hell? This is the 2012 Chevy Camaro ZL1 - the bastard offspring of a Camaro and a Corvette ZR1. It packs 580 yankee ponies under that long bonnet and driving it has been compared to piloting an oil-tanker whilst looking through a postbox - but it's bloody quick... see the video after the jump!

Unfortunately there wasn't enough time in my day to get a lap in, but I did take a few shots from the side of the track. 200 or so photos from the Trackdays.de event on September 27th actually! More after the jump...

Finally the video for the Dodge Viper ACR's Nurburgring Nordschleife production car record lap has been released. Some are arguing whether an out-of-production car can really take the production lap record. All I know is that this car didn't even have a rollcage, still had a radio and working air-con - AND you can walk into a number of dealers and buy one to drive home (such as Tomball Dodge, who were one of the forces behind the effort). Video after the jump!
