The Nürburgring 24 hour race is a tremendous test of endurance for both man and machine. Imagine the relief, then, as the cars cross the line for the last time. Here you can see the four Audi R8 LMS cars finish in formation before the #1 Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 RSR crosses the line to [...]

There are now quite a few YouTube clips appearing from this year’s Nürburgring 24 hour race. This is a clip is from the first 10 minutes or so of the 2009 N24 race. It’s a good example of the staggered starting process, where the cars are broken up by category for three separate rolling starts. [...]

How would you like a lap around the Nordschleife with a Viper up your clacker? Sounds like fun to me! Looks like hard work, though. Watch to the end to see if the Viper gets his man…

This would have to be one of the best Nurburgring Nordschleife videos on the internet. Derek Bell, five-time Le Mans winner, is behind the wheel of the awesome Porsche 956. There’s not much else to say, except enjoy the racecam view and listen as Mr Bell talks us through a lap of the Ring. The [...]

Here’s an interesting lap from Netherlands based company JD Engineering. Filmed in October 2007 it shows their 376hp (280kW) Mk5 Golf GTI completing a bridge to gantry time of around 8 minutes 18 seconds. The footage itself is not so great, the camera mount has too much movement, but any sub 8:30 time is worth [...]

Some people have all the fun. And driving a Nissan GT-R around a snow covered Nordschleife sure looks like fun. This really is a thousand miles away from my world at the moment, here in Australia the temps are hovering around 35°C. Ironically, this clip runs for almost the exact time of the GT-R’s famed [...]

There’s not too many better clips out there that capture the excitement of the Nordschleife than this one. You get a feeling of the speed, the rise and fall of the track, some great in car action and all set to some cheesy Euro haus musik. The best part, though, is the epic airtime captured [...]

Details of Nissan’s GT-R Spec V were released today (see AUSmotive for full story). Along with that announcement comes this video showing the Spec V in full flight around the Ring. No mention of lap times though. While some details have been confirmed, nothing official has been mentioned on increased power figures. The modifications made [...]

More great highlights of DTM at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, to go with the 1992 clip—this time with English commentary. Klaus Ludwig again features prominently, but he was no match for the V6 powered Alfa Romeo 155 driven by former F1 racer Nicola Larini. Another familiar name is that of Olof Manthey, who has been keeping [...]

Here’s some great in car footage from the MINI CHALLENGE car of HBPO Racing’s Steve Kirsch, filmed during the Nürburgring 24 hour race weekend held during May. For more on the Australian MINI CHALLENGE, make sure you check out AUSmotive.com. (Thanks to Chris for the tip.)

The BMW E30 M3 is a true racing classic. Here’s some awesome early 90s footage of the M3 at the Ring (you can download this clip, and many others at www.rennfotos.de). For more on the E30 M3, check out AUSmotive.com.

I reckon the Caterhams are pretty ugly cars, but by hell I’d love to drive one around the Nordschleife. What they lack in looks they make up for in driving purity. They’re awesome cars! I hope you enjoy this lap I found on YouTube. Its an old clip, but is nice and clean and also [...]

The Renaultsport Mégane R26.R shouts Nürburgring with its factory fitted decals, but is it actually any good around the Green Hell? This earlier video from Renault says it is, with a lap time of 8:16.9 to its credit. That’s pretty bloody good, it has to be said. The fastest front wheel drive lap by a [...]

We’ve seen the Mazda 3 MPS lapping the Ring on a Touristenfahrten day in part 1 of this series, but what about a full flying lap? 8 minutes, 39 seconds—very respectable indeed. The lap was set late in the afternoon and you get a great feel for the way the track moves in and out [...]

Here’s a not so authorised clip of a Mazda3 MPS lapping the Nürburgring Nordschleife on a regular Touristenfahrten day. It’s a good example of how bikes and cars hold their speed in different sections of the track. It’s also a good example of why cars and bikes sometimes don’t mix too well on TF days. [...]
