check out the nurburgring supertest!

They chose the M3 as the safety car!

(maybe this should be in the general automotive - but more traffic here)

nice vid... thanks for sharing.

Cloud9blue · 10-27-2008, 09:13 PM

when they choose a car as capable as M3 for safety car, you know they are going to get some serious testing on those cars.

darkphantom · 10-28-2008, 01:16 PM

oh forgot to mention they have the enzo lap on the nurburgring....7:25...ridiculously fast.....I'd want to make sure it is official though...

wonder how the other cars will perform

bknight · 10-28-2008, 01:41 PM

yeah but a tuned 335i would still pwn it, and probably the enzo too.

My tuned 335i smoked a space shuttle in a race to the moon.

#11 - to be continued - Im going to need some quiet time for a little bit.

Blue0013 · 10-29-2008, 03:15 AM

Nice videos! Here is that M3 safety-car from Video #11. I took these the first time I took my ///M out on the track!

watrob · 10-29-2008, 03:46 AM

Yeh, that Enzo lap vid his great but I still like M3 GTR vid lap is better.

Xelloss · 10-29-2008, 03:46 AM

My two favorite car companies paired together on the ring. Great post!

Just thinking, if the Enzo lapped the N-ring at 7:25, isn't the F430 Scuderia capable of lapping it faster than that according to Ferrari and it being faster around their track than the Enzo Ferrari?

KKSigs · 10-29-2008, 05:31 AM

Thats pretty cool

GR8TNESS · 10-29-2008, 07:00 AM

The 7:25 is with partial "safety mode", right? Halfway you see the hand of the driver 'saying' WTF??!!

THANKS for the great post!

KINGLEH · 10-30-2008, 01:03 PM

the main thing is it looks like they run all 5 cars on one day... track conditions at the ring cant change up to like 10sec a lap.. depending on the day...

Marc is good at the ring.. really good.. so he should be able to squeez the best out of the car for that day... so its a good fair test if they run all 5 cars on the same day....

perfect world.. for best time.. they would take the enzo there many many times throughout the fall.. and would prob see sub 7:20 times... but that wouldn't be a fair test for all the cars...
