its an awesome machine mate.Thats the car that made me want to supercharge mine.The guy uses the same ESS kit that im having fitted to mine.It has quite a few other mods,which allow it to do the ring on 7:22,but it also had one of the best drivers driving it too.he is ETCC winner as well STCC winner,he drove the Schubert Motorsport Z4M coupe with Stuck senior and junior as well as Claudia Hurtgren in VLN this year as well 24hours.This car is now on auction and 10% is going to charity.

Anyone know why the hell they dont take the small striaght at the begin into the timed lap ??? Time started at the far end then the lap ends at the near end same in the GTR video ??????

7:22 isn't arecord - all the cars listed in the first post are/were unmodified, homologated, production cars. Record for a modified but still road legal car is Radical SR8 in 6:55. Outright record is 6:11 in a Porsche 956. A modern F1 car has never driven the same circuit in anger, but would no doubt be quicker. Nick Heidfeld's recent demo lap doesn't count, as he was not driving in anger all the way round, and he did the GP circuit as well.

7:22 is still pretty impressive though :)

he isnt claiming a record tho mate.The M3 csl does a 7:48 std sport auto lap,so by modding he has done a 7:22.He is trying to show what a modded car is capable off and compare it to cars worth £150k+

lol, knowhow you feel Lee,

Watching that brings back sooo many memories, can still remember most of those turns.

[Paul-J]

Very very cool B)

Wouldnt mind seeing pics of the car!!

[Unregistered_User]

Oh Good Lord, that is stunning!

Thanks for the pics, Raj :)

That M3 CSL looks amazing :)

How come the Veyron is only 7m 40s? Surely it must be able to do more then that? When they tested it on Fifth Gear Tiff Drove it and said it handled pretty well and wasn't just a straight line machine.

[Rsarin]

it does seem slow,considering the power it punches out,however I cant see it being more nimble than a csl on any road.I dont think all out power is essential for a fast lap time at the ring,so much can be made/lost in the twisty stuff-that the two main long straights dont seem as significant,of course the veyron would be very quick down the long straights,it would just suffer heavily through the corners,i think that reflects in the time.

Just a quick question, I was very curious to know if the Ferrari Enzo has been around the circuit, if so what was the time?

[Scorps01]

Awesome video!!

I reckon he can take a few tenths off that time where he had to lift for traffic, anyone know what his average speed was?

Apparently it has, but I'm struggling to locate times. It was taken around the 'Ring by Michael Schumaker shortly after its launch.

Here is a video of one just about to burble through the tunnel:

it was only done once,im pretty sure of that,and it was done as a direct competitor to the Carrera GT,however it couldnt beat the CGTs 7:40,and Porsche declared themselves winners.
