Rikky,

That�s a very interesting question! Actually nobody of the F1 drivers would like to drive on such a difficult and dangerous track which doesn�t met any of todays F1 safety regulations.
Mika Hakkinen said once he would like to drive it with his McLaren. Sadly they didn�t let him.
Most probably the sophisticated F1 cars would mostly scratch the ground due to the very rough track and the uncountable bumps.
If a F1 car could be adjusted to that it would surely be faster than 6.11
As it looks today though Bellofs time is a record for eternity.




Con saluti cordialissimi,

What would a modern-day F1 car run here? Any ideas?

The car was driven by Derek Bell. The fastest lap of all times is 6.11, driver was Stefan Bellof.


@all

Ansgar,

Wow, what a great video! The lap looks so smooth and harmonic almost like he is not braking at all! This must be very near to a perfect lap at the N�rburgring although the other car was a bit faster.
If I compare that to my lapping there (which is not comparable at all of course!) I know that I am more than several worlds apart from that refering to line and harmony.
