The Ariel Atom V8 has 475bhp and weighs less than 600kg. The Noble M600 has 650bhp and tips the scales around the 1200kg mark. They’re some healthy ingredients for some seriously healthy speed. Driving what is little more than a chassis with an engine and four wheels, the Atom V8 is sure to be exhilarating [...]

It’s been a while since we’ve shown a classic clip from the Nürburgring. This one has been worth the wait. The promo clip for Shell was produced in 1962 and the current F1 world champion Graham Hill was on hand to provide commentary. The car being used was the iconic Mercedes-Benz W125, some 25-years-old at [...]

Drifting through a snowy Adenauer Forst in an open wheeler! Nice work if you can get it. That’s exactly what Andy Gülden from the Nürburgring Driving Academy has just done and you can see the video after the break. Given the yesterday’s news about management changes at the Ring, Gülden might be looking for a [...]

Last month Nissan was at the Nürburgring finalising preparations for the launch of the 2012MY GT-R. Apparently this video was filmed at the same time and shows ‘Godzilla’ has reduced its Ring time to 7 minutes 21 seconds. Not quite down to Nissan’s 7:20 target time, but pretty handy nonetheless. Or is it? It’s been [...]

Earlier footage showing the roadworks on the Nordschleife moments before the recent eight-car crash at the Ring has been removed.

Following news earlier in the month that the Dodge Viper ACR lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in a staggering 7 minutes 12.13 seconds we bring you the documentary evidence. GT racer Dominik Farnbacher was at the wheel and posted the time on 14 September 2011. The time is being claimed as a production car record; the [...]

As promised yesterday here is the footage from Lexus showing their LFA Nürburgring package lapping the Nordschleife in 7 minutes 14.64 seconds. As is the way these days when a manufacturer sets a quick lap at the Ring a record of some sort is generally claimed. Lexus say their time is the “fastest ever recorded [...]

A couple of days ago we heard the Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition lapped the Nordschleife in 7 minutes 14 seconds. That’s pretty damn quick, of course, and places the LFA ahead of other supercars such as the Porsche 911 GT2 RS (7:18), Corvette ZR1 (7:19) and Nissan GT-R (7:24) on the unofficial lap chart. The [...]

Jochen Krumbach was [...]

If you spend any time watching the goings on at the Nürburgring, especially during Touristenfahrten days, you’ll be familiar with the little blue ‘Ringmini’.

Here’s a nice video showing a BMW 1 Series M Coupé driving around the Nürburgring Nordschleife on an open tourist day. It’s a pretty tidy lap as well, with the driver spending most of the time right on the tail of an E46 M3 CSL. We trust you’ll enjoy the next 9 minutes. [Source: 1addicts]
