Yes, in the touristenfahrer it is not obligatory to wear a helmet, while it is on the track day. On the touristenfahrer the nordschleife is considered a public road, there are also signals with speed limits, but of course no one respect them

8min mark? BTG? Sorry no offence but if I'm looking at a video with <8BTG, I guess I'm watching the wrong video???

Yeah BTG sorry,the video wasn't cut to start at BTG. Run starts at 0:24 secs and ends at 9:49 the rest of the video was just extra. Do the math. 9:25 was my time in a stock 128i. And I said close to the 8 min mark. Give me supsension and tune and a good tire setup with bolt ones I'm sure to hit 8 mins.

My mate Advevo(you probably know him from here ) did an est. 7:45 BTG with some traffic some time ago. In his 1M. So I'm not so sure actually. Sorry.

Haha, I thought it was more ironic when he tried giving advice to gibbo on driver technique, given that gibbo is obviously an advanced level driver ... and then tried to justify his driving by blaming it on vehicle set up ... and then tried to claim an unrealistic lap time on a hypothetical set up

How is it unrealistic??? LOL it's right there In the video. There are plenty of 130i amd 125i that have ran 820s. Just today I ran a 9:29 in a Suzuki swift and that doesn't even make over 135hp! Driver mod. Rant over man.
