You have to remember that the very first lap times set in the twenties were using the whole circuit, including the south loop Robin.

In the 1983 sportscar race Stefan Bellof went round in 6.25.9. I think that was during the race. Tim.

I'm still a little slower than the 61mph average the supercharged sports cars did in 1927 with my 27hp motorbike, and in GPL, I'm even slower ... 1983 6:25 Stefan Bellof (AFAIR, record listed on www.nuerburgring.de) -- _____ /_______\ .\\ a t t h e a d I XT /~~~~ I 500\_____ 1977' Yamaha XT.Rex 500 Enduro \____/\__I_I http://matthead.home.pages.de/
