Tommi Makinen takes a prototype WRX STI around the Nürburgring and sets the fastest laptime ever recorded for the STI.

it seems the start line and the finish line are not the same; wonder if that's how they do it there so that you don't have to do a 14 mile cool down lap...?
anyhoo~ i always love watching pro race drivers flogging production(i know this sti was a prototype, but pretty close) cars...

7:55? I think that's the fastest production 4-door to ever hit the track...

The previous record was a 7:56 in the Panamera turbo, and a 7:59 in the CTS-V.

[IrishGuy1087]

I've raced this track a million times in forza 3 with my c class wrx, I have an s class wrx impreza sti and I still dont think I'll be good enough to touch that record lol

Cool video. I watched it he other day on my driod from the link above.

 

[shalootm]

i tried this today in an r3 sti on forza 3 and got 8min 4 sec ... 9 seconds longer, im not the best at this game but i do drive a lot more to the edge than someonemight in real life (no fear of death in a game) so in short this guy was screaming fast !!

It was almost over at 1:34. Oops, wrong gear.

 

[Snoshado]

Are they supposed to get their tires off the track on turns like that? It seems like it would be bad for the car :lol:
