Good Time for stock CLK-DTM at Nurburgring?

[SportWagon]

Now I almost put this in race-reports, but I see "best 1/4 mile times" thread is here in the main GT4 forum.

I actually added as filler to a DVD I made up for my brother-in-law as a Xmas stocking-stuffer a recording of a replay of me winning the Nurburgring race of the GT4 DTM series in a stock CLK-DTM (no oil change, I think).

I did a smooth lap for me, with only one little drive-along "off", after the first of the two red-and-white wall thingy corners at the top of the track. The question may come up as to how good a lap I did. I think there's probably a minute left for good drivers, in that I did only do a 7:15. (I've done only slightly better in the Abt Audi).

So, is 6:15 an achievable time for a stock (mildly adjusted) CLK-DTM in this race? R3 tires. Or have people done even faster than that?

I searched but couldn't find DTM Nurburgring lap times either listed here, or, apparently, on net databases. A simple pointer to the database where I should look would be great, too.

in the DTM series I can usually pull off a 6:50 or so starting 6th, I'm sure I could go faster but driving at the ring just for a fastest lap seems a bit time consuming for me.

There's probably a better place for this, but atleast it's some discussion.

In the CLK-DTM I have been able to get a time under 6m50s.

But in the AMG Mercedes 190 evo DTM touring car(black, old '92ish) I have raced around the Nurburgring in under 6m45seconds. Not the best time time but better than the new CLK

Don't know if 6'15 is doable, 6'43 for me (Free run).

Indeed there is a better spot for it.

This forum would be it.

Thanks for moving it. With the way the search engine works, I didn't have any trouble at all finding where it's gone (in comparison to not-so-good'ol-days at other forums ).

Sorry about not finding this forum initially.

Thanks for the responses, too. I guess I'm not doing as badly badly on the lap as I thought. I think with R3 tires there is less time for experts to find compared to sports tires.

So it's 30 seconds I'm losing, or about 1/2 second a corner. (There's really only about 70 actual turns on the in-game (and current real-life) Nurburgring; 100+ numbers are an exaggeration).

I should do a B-spec (10,000 B-spec points) sometime, too, as a bench-mark.
