Re: Officiell SportAuto Nordschleife laptimes
That driver doesnt seem consistent with other Track Times I have seen on these cars?!.......Many seem out of place and order.....I dont think this guys consistent. Some of these cars he may have been driving with a mad hang-over, others on PCP. These don't seem right!

Maybe Nordschleife dont suit Ferrari. Some cars do better on a different track. There is a rumour that Sportauto are going to test Enzo but Ferrari is working on the Enzo, adjusting chassi settings to suit Nordschleife better.

Re: Officiell SportAuto Nordschleife laptimes
This guy is consistent and well-known driver in the motoringworld. Its his times that are used as the officiell ones. But of course all these cars havent been tested the exact same day so the conditions might differ a little bit but if thats the case, he usually tell us about it.

Since when did Ferrari Start caring about Nordschleife lap times?

Re: Officiell SportAuto Nordschleife laptimes
of course they can but its nothing Sportauto can do anything about. I dont know if I would call it cheating, I would rather say its not fair. If Enzo are adjsuting settings, HvS will tell us all about it.
I often read that everytime a carmag testing a Ferrari around a track, there are always Ferrari people around. I wonder why??

Re: Officiell SportAuto Nordschleife laptimes
I've heard M5 times of 7:52......That isnt a little difference from 8:13. I dont think he knew how to drive it. I think he could have done better. Looks to me like he prefers Porsche and is maybe doing a little "test-track marketing" on the side. Doesnt he know about conflict of interest. I like consistent STIG.

Re: Officiell SportAuto Nordschleife laptimes
but how do you know its true. We have never seen a test of the so called 7.52 min and if it did happen, how do we now the car was tested the way the car leave the factory.
Matt is bomb, you're totally wrong about HvS so give it a rest. Just so you know, HvS did a better laptime with M3 CSL than BMW own testdriver.

Re: Officiell SportAuto Nordschleife laptimes
well the 7:52 time is according to BMW. yes that was a joke about "track time marketing". I just think thats a huge difference and maybe he could have done better and maybe not. I have heard that the M5 is faster than the CSL in many ways and should be faster around this Track considering the some of the straits but I DONT KNOW. its just speculation.

Re: Officiell SportAuto Nordschleife laptimes
the time wasnt from BMW, just a french magazine claiming so. First BMw said around 8 minutes, later BMW testdriver said 8.07 min. And those times that comes from factory, we dont know anything about the car they tested and if it was tested the way the car is when leaving the factory.
Matt, trust me, noone mistrust HvS and Sportauto, he always does his best

Re: Officiell SportAuto Nordschleife laptimes
actually im not entirely facetious with that statement . Ferrari does have a "better than thou" aroma to them. To me it seems like the ferrari is about getting "laid" Vs. a lambo, which is soley about performance. It seems to be a car for a fifty year old dude with a ton of Gel in his hair in his middle age chrisis. Lamborghini is more "my style", pure performance. Ferrari is way too Gucci.

Re: Officiell SportAuto Nordschleife laptimes
yeah i know.. lambo is far more appealing to me.. especially with these latest rather wierd looking ferrari´s..
I would only visit a ferrari dealer if they produced a car that absolutely outshines the competetion by far.. otherwise i would take my buisness elsewhere..
PS
It would be fun if a Ferrar CEO read these comments.. im sure he is a a-hole like the rest.. and he wouldnt give a damn..

Re: Officiell SportAuto Nordschleife laptimes
Yes he does. He always mention if there are any defects during test, temperature (Air), temperature (Asphalt) and air pressure. He also tell us if the car used R-tires or not.
He also tell us if the laptime could be improved and what could be done to improve the laptime.
When he tested SLK55 he said that the laptime could be improved if the ESP didnt interfered too much, for the CLK-DTM is he said that the laptime could be improved if the weather was warmer cause the car used R-tires and R-tires need a warm asphalt to be really useful.
So yes I would say his information is very detailed.
