Noice. A bit irrelevant because it won't be seen even near the nordschleife ever again, but at least it is proven that it drives well.

Suppose this means the premiums on the 2RS's are going to fall off now (he said wishfully thinking).

VW Brands have been passing the record back and forth lately. I wonder if something like the Senna could be next? Or is McLaren staying away from such attempts still?

How long did the 997 2rs hold the 'ring record before the next latest-greatest beat it?

There's always going to be the next faster car. These are just bragging rights gamesmanship.

What a wonderful world we live in where people and large corporations go out and do bat**** crazy stuff like this. Kudos to the driver. I counted at least 4-5 brown moments.

I am thinking I would have thrown up several times if I was a passenger.
