GP at Nürburgring

Was over on you tube the other day and found some sweet videos of a GP owner at the Nürburgring. This is the first time I add myself as a Subscriber. I have been watching these videos several times already and just can't get enough. Here is one video, check it out and subscribe to frigo1966. He is the fastest MINI Driver I have seen at the Nürburgring.

Nope, the Nordschleife (North Loop) is a public toll road so there aren't any such requirements

Very nice!

I'll bet those motorcycle riders freaked out when that Mini Cooper blew by them.

No need to have 505 HP.... :-)

Really I don't know how I double posted???
I changed that other video now.
It is now "MINI Cooper JCW GP behind M5 Ring Taxi at Nordschleife Nürburgring"
But Notice what that dirty scoundrel Ring Taxi Driver does at 1:17 to 1:31

Wow, that is some wild stuff! Did you notice on the 2nd video there was a camping area where I saw RVs parked. I guess this a vacation destination too. Sweet !

I have a car magazine that has a "Guide to the Ring" and inside the loop which is like 14 mile track in its entirety, they have bars, hotels-some with garages, car musuems, Couple Nürburgring Gift shops, RV spaces, camp sites, several race car rental centers. You can stay at the same hotels some of the F1 drivers of yesteryear. And there is forest in and oustside of it, hence the name Jackie Stewart coined it, "The Green Hell" Man, I would love to visit the Ring when they have the MINI Driver Training, MINI Race Driver Training and MINI Racing Licence Trainings at Nordschleife for the German MINI Challenge Race Series. (It is open to everyone!)

Check out friggio1966 video on youtube where he passes 1 Porsche 911 GT3 and 1 Porsche 911 GT3 RS car and battles another GT3RS car. GT3RS are like the GPs of 911s. The guy is a very good driver, that GP power plant is flat out and pedal to the metal...alot! Same like the other thread of video GP vs. BMW M5 Ring Taxi
