The Ring: Hans Stuck, BMW M3 GTR, North Loop + GP course

[///M-Spec]

This may be a repost, but I haven't seen this video before.

This is the new X5 mini-site.

Sit through the intro, then:

Click The Nurburgring Experience
Click Track Map
Click Full Lap

A couple of warm up laps on the GP course, followed by a blitz of the North Loop. The sound in the video is fantasic.

Nice vid. Saw the ad and laughed the whole way through. Rather enjoyed seeing the Nurburgring on television in the States. I had to explain it to my mom though...

Not the GP circuit, part of the short circuit or "motodrom" I think it is called (I think DTM run the motodrom, not sure though). The motodrom+Nordschleife makes up the track they use for the 24 hours. Er, at least the last few 24 hours...

Is this in an M3 GTR or an X5? I'm Kinda confused. Either way its a great video. He seemed really excited at the end.

M3 GTR, and I think he may have either 1) gotten a pole lap for the 24h or 2) set a lap record.

And as far as Jonerz's comments are concerned I believe you are correct sir.

Does he have a rock chip in his windsheild? It's REALLY annoying.

Why is a video for an M3 on the X5 page?

 

[Wolfe]

A. I think this is a different version of the same M3 GTR Hans Stuck video that almost everyone has seen.

B. Since that page is about the X5, you'd think they would use a video of this X5 going around the 'Ring...

That's what I thought it was going to be.
