Sorry if this is a repost



Also, same car & driver doing about an 8:20 lap



Enjoy!! 1st one really shows why the M3 is a handling legend, even if this one appears to be somewhat modified!

Quality vid!! Yeah for sure that M3 is not standard. Can you hear the straigh cut gears or is that just me? Or is it just a whining diff!! :wink:

I agree, straight cut gears are there so it must be a really modd'd M3.

Awesome vid tho :cool:

That'll be Espen then - total nutbar driver always on or over the limit, looks like a hitman :)
Dont think he has the e30 now, never did get a lap in it - only a ride back from near mini karusell to the ring car park

Here's his site http://www.nordschleife.no/

His car had 232hp and carbon fibre sport evo wing I think, dunno what other mods, prob suspension.
Also bear in mind that the ring taxi has to go slower than it could - the drivers are not supposed top do sub 9min laps

Oh yeah in one of the vids of him out there looking backwards out of the m3, you see him pass me in my old crx at pflantzgarten - makes me look like I'm stood still :cry:
Cheers,
Robin
