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.

It seems that Akira Iida left some time on the table.... more details and full video after the jump...
