When did HvS run the dry lap time of 7:28 and has that time been published? It still shows 7:40 at track-challenge website.
By the way, an article that was posted in this section had an interview with WR were he indicated that they weren't going to post his lap times in the future because they felt it was creating a dangerous competition on the NS. Do you know anything about this? |
lol, thx m8....trying my best but still have to practice...

sorry, read here:
...for AB WR did the driving with the CGT in 7:28...
so not to completely confuse you, Walter did the 7:28, not Horst v. S.
a very good point you mentioned there with the whole NS lap time issue...
that´s a VERY critical topic especially for the manufacturers, as you know, for any car it has been extremely good advertisement when i clocked a good lap time on NS, i mean nearly everyone in automotive industry knows NS, and those who are into racing and sports cars know that a good spors car is defined through a quick NS time, but all this had gone a bit too far, would be too difficult to describe in detail, but in the end it always a bit difficult with NS lap times officially nowadays...
one might say "sad but true..."
you know the whole issue with tourist driving on NS, filming, beating lap times of other members of so called "race clubs..." there´ve been many many accidents because of all this including quite some fatalities, so Nürnburgring GmbH set up some strict limitations, e.g. NO filming at all, this is handled quite strict, all the decent forums and ppl don´t want any discussions about lap times any more, so you see...
it´s really like that, there´re unfortunately too many rich ppl around here, of course when you want to be someone you simply HAVE to buy a Porsche, join a club, then there´re track days, everyone wants to hit NS, during a lap they notice that they´re swamped either with their car but especially with NS...the result....i mentioned it above...
so what WR means with dangerous competition is not only the competition with the other manufacturers, i mean he knows that NS is defintely Porsche territory, he mainly refers to all this i mentioned above...
