What exactly does it take to run a sub 8 minute BTG lap at the Nürburgring? When CG was there earlier in the year and rented the BMW 325 from rent-racecar.de he was able to run an 8:38 with traffic, what does it look like when you cut another 40 seconds? A faster car helps of course but that's not all, you need to get a motorcycle free run and you need large attachments.
In the first clip, this Italian 997 GT3 driven by "Sergini" will give you an idea of the skill and commitment needed for a sub 8.
In the second clip the driver makes a serious mistake (one which he had made in the first as well but got away with): he tries to pass a BMW 5 series wagon on the right between Klosteral and the Karussell.
Good thing for those mythical Porsche brakes because as much as the BMW driver should have been paying attention, "Sergini" would have had a big bill to pay in this case. As you well know, the 'ring is a regular road and overtaking on the right is technically illegal, finger or no finger.
Enjoy.
