Given the interest in this challenge I think it's time for some basic ground rules.
Nurburgring Nordschleife - Practice Mode
100 horsepower (must finish the lap with 100 horsepower or less)
No SRF (this seems a no-brainer, but just in case anybody doesn't already know that)
ABS OK
Any other "aids" are OK but they'll just slow you down.
You can use the same car somebody else has already used, but I will only post times in the same car if they're faster than the previous time.
Please save your ghost replay. I may request you email it to me so I can video it and post it here. Not sure about this at the moment.
I will compile the list of cars and times this evening (hopefully).
Race Hard Tires
s2k2k3..............Suzuki GSXR/4....7'57.836
Race Soft Tires
s2k2k3..............Suzuki GSXR/4....7'49.498

Original Post:
This question occurred to me today at work. Would it be possible to break the 8 minute barrier at the Nurburgring Nordschleife with only 100hp?
Now this question is not completely out of the blue, as I have been working on a low hp tune for the 4 hour Nurburgring race.
As it turns out... Yes you can run under 8 minutes with only 100hp. And it was actually no challenge.
No glitches. No SRF. My first lap was 7'49.
I did use racing soft tires, but I think I could have done it with race hard tires. Undoubtedly some could do it on sport tires.
Oh, what car did I use? I bet some have guessed already.
