He seems to get a little anxious when he gets passed!

LOL, I love the way he’s stripped the interior to make it a better track performer.

The first time I ever went to the Nurburgring was with a colleague whose sister worked for a rental company and set us up with a brand new Mercedes SLK. Unfortunately, it was a business trip and we both had big suitcases to carry suits, and the cases wouldn’t fit in the SLK. So instead we ended up with a turbo Peugeot we had never heard of before, but one that the French guy at the Hertz rental counter in Paris assured us “iz vewy faaassst!!!” Turned out it was a diesel and a total dog. Foot to the floor, it could only manage 100 MPH flat out on the Autobhan, and only when headed downhill with a tailwind. It was just as well – we got all the way there to discover the ring was closed for a rock concert. So we drank some great German beer instead, and did a better job pre-planning the next time there, several years later.

Look like a rally car driver. Those poor rear tires must have been totally shot after two laps!

Hats off, gents! Really an achievement. His lines were basicaly OK, considering the traffic, except at both Karussels.
I've ridden shotgun a Suzuki Swift GTI where the driver was a Formula Ford national champ. Use of brakes were more or less the same, just as the Suzuki winds slightly higher top speed faster there was a need for braking in couple of turns more.

Used all of the track plus! Good job hustling a diesel and how the gearbox held up to those shifts without failure, should be mounted like a trophy on the wall.

A for effort and grit (run what you brung), and F for ***** (in shorts and sans helmet), the folly of youth!

Passes a minivan a 8:58, then no lift passing a spinning car...nice. It's too bad we can't be trusted with anything like this in the States, there would be cars, bodies and lawyers lining the track.

I think your missing the point

Huh? 3 minutes? FYI, the lap was 9 minutes 55 seconds...
