did they rent the whole track I used to love those vids that the Dane made on the R1, but the best part was him getting stuck behind VW and such.

Great run. First place for Non-series/road-legal vehicles.

The fastest Production vehicle is this one:



Gumpert Apollo. 0-120 in 8.8s. 7:11:5 for the Nordschleife.

is it a production car? Seems like it might be gutted a bit from the view of the driver...

"This record depends on how you define "production-derived sports car" and whether or not it's a record we should care about. For starters, the 599XX was wearing slicks and isn't a road legal vehicle, it's just based on one. So, yeah, it's a production-derived sports car, but unlike a production sports car, you've got to trailer this queen to the 'ring."

Manufacturers don't usually wait for a public track day to test their cars on the 'Ring.
