I don't think so. Must be around 210+. I've driven over 100 times at
145mph and that clip brings back memories and that car is moving much faster than 150. Bet it takes hours to get off that adrenalin rush.Great track, thanks for the clip, and an appropriate day to see it.

m3 gtrs for the german touring car series uses a twin clutch straight cut box, usually sequential and it's bloody loud even for a spectator. The Ring is a very narrow circuit, most of it is an ex public road and so its not much more than 24' wide in places - Makes the speed seem much faster than it is. They have public days where you can pay a few euros and thrash round in anything you like. The cup series M3's can do up to about 180 top depending on the gearing. The Ring requires lower gearing 'cos of the slower sections and so top speed is probably 170 or so.
The impressive thing is how fast the guy can travel the circuit - last time Formula 1's did that circuit the top speeds where around 180 with twice the power. Its the old Ring at 17.5miles and 174 bends that this guy knows intimately.. really impressive. Also worth noting is that several of the Porsche he's passing and leaving for dead are cup race GT2's with an extra
100hp or so..PolyTech Forum website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here. All logos and trade names are the property of their respective owners.
