Default Looks who's at the Nurburgring

Check the timestamp too.

Orion drive line testing?

Some rich/lucky bugger?

Or those crazy ZF engineers having fun?

Could possibly be Adam Sharp. He races a BA in Fujitzu series and in UK and is on the Nurburgring entry list entered in a V8 Ford.

Yeah right, i'm not a GT fan, the V8 is to tall, mounted to high, and to far forwards but top gear put a Ford Transit van round in 10:08. If a gt can only manage 9:30+ FPV should pack up shop and close down their business

There's a youtube video of a GT in GT4 (yes the game) doing a 7:30 lap.

Thank god my wife doesn't! I get scared enough as it is with her driving.

Re the GT, if it was a mule it would have at very least a cage. Not to mention a few antennas and other things hanging off it.

She'd have the GT begging to be back on a cargo ship home.

Same Car... Pretty Sure, I would be certain it would be a privately owned vehicle, It would sound pretty hot at full tilt, now, for Top gear to track it down......

I'm pretty sure it is infact the same car, if this is the one you're talking about.
