"Super Attack" on the Nürburgring 964 turbo
Check this out, never seen anyone driving this fast with a 964 turbo on the Nürburging. According to the poster (see Q&A further down) this is a Bridgestone test driver in a stock 964 3.3 turbo on street tires.
Did some checking, the lap is the Auto Sport kind of lap (not the whole T13 section), you need to add 4 seconds or so for a "real" full lap, for a BTG lap you remove 20 seconds or so from this lap. So you are looking at a 8.13 full lap and a 7.45 - 7.50 BTG lap. Very impressive indeed (he needs to let go of the throttle at one turn due to some "road work")!
As an comparison I did a 8.11 BTG, but with a lighter and stronger car on R-rated tyres (with a little bit of traffic).
These cars do very well on this track!
Enjoy!

He is way more aggresive than I ever would be on this track, especially going into the turns, I only use 2nd gear at three - four corners, he uses 2nd gear on a regular basis, but I think this is the way to go really fast with these cars, "risky business" though (perhaps not for him)!
With no traffic I reckon (or dream) 7:50 - 7:55 BTG would be how far I would be able stretch it in my car, he would be much faster.
Seen it 10 times now......

Great vid. Those big steering inputs at speed do look scary. I gotta make it there one day.

In the beginning of the video while still showing an exterior view, the car goes around what looks to be about a 180 degree left turn with a bank. Mid-way through the turn, as the boost starts to come back in, I think I see a quick flame exit from the wastegate side of the exhaust. Other than a flame coming out of the exhaust side on lift off, I have not seen this before. Are my eyes deceiving me? If not, what causes this?
