The new ZR-1 Vette. This proves that race car drivers are great athletes. I couldn't imagine doing this lap after lap.

Yadda Yadda Yadda. Looks like my typical commute home from Newark every day. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

By the way, what track was that?

[Charley Lillard]

Nurburgring. I'm putting one of those engines in a Camaro.

WOW!! Way cool I want to try! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I think automakers and even clubs can rent all or part of the track for a not so nominal fee. What do you think, Yenko's,..shall we crate up a bunch of are cars and head to Germany for some all out fun? Besides the driving, what I like about the video the overlay showing location, gear, rpm, and the speed of the car. It's also cool to see how he was correcting the understeer in many of the corners. Don't forget also, there are no paddle shifters. He's driving with one hand during a lot of the video while rowing the gearbox. Great video!

Charley, are they available as a crate engine?

[Charley Lillard]

Not yet

Will Tammi Perto and MK insurance be able to cover us if we go over? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I took the chance and drove my Camaro on the ring. Pretty awesome 14 Miles of track, I spent most of my time staying in the right lane, getting passed by much more HP and cars that could handle the track.
Pretty simple...if theres no race or event that day, you buy a ticket and take off. Read here about insurance. http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/insurance.html

Interesting around the 6:12 mark the driver blows the corner and raise his hands in frustration. That run was on street tires judging by the tire noise? 7:26 is really a great lap time.

7:26 is a great lap time. I recoginized the track immediately since I play gran turismo 4 pretty regularly. I've got the C5R corvette race car decked out with every upgrade and the best I've done is 6:17 with a full on race car.(I wish I could actually get in a car and do that though http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif) A little over a minute more than my time with a production street car on street tires. Amazing. I was hoping to see him do 185+ on the back straight though. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif
