    An EDO Tuned Porsche 996 GT2 RS broke the lap record of the Nordschleife (without the GP circuit). The previous record was held by Horst von Saurma in a Porsche Carrera GT with a lap time of 7.32.44. This was broken by Patrick Simon in his 612bhp 996 with a time of 7.15.63 lap

    Video of the lap can be found here, and its breath taking to watch

    The all time 'Ring lap record is 6:11 by Stefan Bellof in a Porsche 956 during a practice session during the 1000kms race.

    The acceleration is amazing to look at,a bit ropey passing the bikes.

    It would be interesting to see what time he could do with no other cars on the track, on the run up to the Karussel there were two cars across the track i thought he was fecked, but he breezed past them
