Mini sort of - BMW video

One of the best videos I've seen recently. A BMW GTR going around the Nurenburgring long course. Very fun ride! Enjoy!

Wow! Every Saturday and sunday morning starting at about 6am I play GT4 for about 3 hours. This course is a very difficult one. It is amazing how close the game is to the real thing.

My best time running an 881 hp GTR in the GT4 game is 6:13 with a top speed of 218 mph on the long last straight...aided with NO2 for the final straight only. The in-field portion is not part of the game...worth about 1:39

This course in the game is scary similar to the real thing; every dip and turn are the same.

6:13! pretty fast.

I found this. 6:55 in an SR8 (only one other car passed on the course- good thing, he was flying )

A course record, done in Sept 2005.
Enjoy-

...requires lots of caffine and wide open eyes. The Nissan GTR LM version does it in 5:59. Purpose built aero cars have a hard time due to the many undulations; these have a very big affect on lift and stability.

Great game, suggest you try it!
