That's a very cool video, but an even cooler one is Hans Stuck in the BMW M3GTR. The sound of that engine and the incredible footage help me make it through a 12+ hour work day. Stuck's car control, speed, and smoothness are great examples of how to drive. Simply inspiring.

I'm gonna watch these after dinner tonite. I got one vid I downloaded of a GT2, driven by a ? Simon that I watched a few times. If you want to try Nordschleife yourself, I HIGHLY recommend Project Gotham Racing 3 on the XBOX360. They got Nordschleife right

Wow! All great vids. Hans Stuck is the man. 
Amazing skill to put something around that track that fast. Yellowbird a little less refined and also a skilled and brave driver. Thanks guys.

In the Hans Stuck 'vid' ...I find I am constantly in awe of the 5 min to 6 min part and the 7 min (and onwards) part. The car is essentially FLAT-OUT and he looks as cool, calm and collected as can be.
We are just not worthy.

I don't think the ground-effects is all that great on the GTR; the car is sticking to the road because Stuck is piloting it. He could make a Ford Fiesta look good.
