But i still love the sight of a modern area F1 on the legendary Nordschleife!

The 24,433 km variant was used: Nordschleife + GP Strecke. Laptimes were 8.12 , 8.30 , 7.29 (new record)previous record was 8.06 (Jurgen Alzen, 11-6-2005) Note: this CANNOT be compared to the old records of Lauda and Bellof, the track is now a different length. Also did Heidfeld slow down at the 2 main straights, for fotoshooting. The car was modified with short gears, allowing only a topspeed of 275 km/h. They also used Brigestone Demo tires, these "have no grip", according to Heidfeld.

I noticed that too, especially with the severe bumps on that section it'd just tear the f1 car up. Which makes me wonder, COULD an F1 car manage Laguna Seca's Corkscrew?

The lap record for an f1 car is 6:58 min - set 1975 by Niki Lauda. The fastest lap ever was driven in 1983 by Stefan Bellof with a Porsche 956 C (6:11 min).Well, if you would drive a f1 car without any technical restrictions (engine, aerodynamics, tires, fuel, suspension, electronics) it would surely be possible to get close to the 5min mark or break it.

man, that's scary!this track has everything and its surface is unstable!heidfeld have to avoid the white banked area (00:58) to prevent the low F1 car from damaging its suspensions or its underside.still, this track is legendary
