Default Anyone have 968 track times (ie Nurburgring)

Just curious to see best track times for a 968 on world class circuits?

Hi,

This one did 10' 22" during the last 24 hrs of the Nürburgring.
(the best time the class leading BMW M3 did was 10' 14")



IIRC there was a thread here posted by "transaxle" back then.

EDIT : Here is that thread.

Interesting headlight conversion with a bit of finishing that would be a cool aftermarket HID upgrade.

I've driven the Nurburgring, but not in my 968. FYI the time listed above is for the combined Nordschleife and GP circuit. On the Nordschleife alone a well setup and driven 968 would do between 8:30 and 8:50.

Here in the US, in my PCA F-Stock 968 I've done 1:43's at Mid Ohio, 2:17's at Watkins Glen and 2:42's at Road America.

Another 968 PCA racer, Jeff McCarthy has run 1:38's at Mosport.

I know other 968 times at other tracks, but you probably wouldn't consider them "world class".
