F1 BMW-Sauber F1 laptime around Nordschleife

[Zafiro]

BMW made a simulation and it shows their current BMW-Sauber F1.06 would clock 5.15 min.

An F1 car around Nordschleife? Interesting...

damn i never knew f1 cars were that fast ... unbelivable

That's amazingly fast, shows how big a difference there is between road cars and F1 cars!

I doubt an F1 car's suspension would even survive the Nordschliefe, let alone get around it in just over 5 minutes.

No, the suspension wouldn't survive. That's why they did a simulation rather than actually doing it.
