Now that is a great circuit, dangerous but great. I remember back in 1994 nine GTD's went in convoy for a weekend and as we got to the bit in the lower picture, at the corner at the bottom of the hill, Roy did a 720 spin but didn't hit anything!

I am curious. Does anyone have lap times of GT40s on the Nurburgring? I would be curious to see how the gt40s faired.

Meins best lap was 8:57 - fastest was a 911 I think at 8:45

Not sure if the race was dry at all though

Results show fastest lap done by Minshaw in his E-Type in 8.30min during the Challenge.
Weather was changing from heavy rain to bright sunshine, all very local. Rain in Breitscheid could mean Sunshine on the Brünnchen and Thunderstorm at Start and Finish.

I find it interesting with the GT 40's record, it never won the Nurburgring 1000k. We know the car dear to my heart that won in '66.
