But there's nothing sexy about that. Why would You want that? To "learn"? Pfft. Boring.

Not everything has to be sexy...seeing all the components of an engine is very interesting. Or maybe I just geek out a bit more than you with that stuff.

Stroke this. Because it looks fun!

There's nothing sexy about hundreds of parts perfectly machined and designed to control and direct the force of rapid explosions by working in unison?

FAG.

Yeah I can see that, though I've always thought of chaos as sexier than perfect order. That's probably a character flaw, though.

I hate to be a dick, but as usual you have no fucking idea what you are talking about. This area of the track is known as the "Flugplatz" which means "airfield" in German. Any car worth its salt and traveling at breakneck speed will become airborne and fly all four wheels off the ground.

In real time FF to 1:09

Congrats on reading the image tag though. Keep it up and one day you might say something intelligent. Maybe.

The fastest man ever on the Nordshcleife is Stefan Bellof.
Image
His lap time of 6 minutes 11 seconds in a Porsche 956 remains unbeaten by ANY CAR to this day, some twenty years later.
Porsche 956:
Image
He had BALLS OF STEEL and had basically no reservations about driving the car on the limit ALL THE TIME.
He was killed at SPA trying to pass Jackie Ickx through Eau Rouge, the tracks hairiest high speed corner.
Here is a video of the crash that killed him:

Had he had some restraint he would have lived to become one of the legends of motorsport.

The fastest ever lap by a street legal road car is 7 minutes 11 seconds by the Gumpert Apollo.
Image
The Radical SR8 is not street legal outside of UK so they dont count.

Here is the hot lap:


This car has ground effects bodywork and AWD and 700+ hp from a TT Audi v8.

The Gumpert Apollo defines function over form. Even the name is ugly. Fucking fast though..

I'd rather an Ultima GTR, personally.

I'll leave that to you and the other comp climbers.

Racing cars is putting your life on the line.

Bouldering is putting your ankles on the line.

Men.

Boys.

See the difference?
