I always thought these cars were more geared towards production motors. I guess I don't know squat about DTM!

[QUOTE=m4282;20762144]German Touring Car Championship driver and Nürburgring 24-Hour winner Augusto Farfus Jr. got the opportunity to drive his 480-horsepower BMW M4 DTM car around the Nordschleife as part of a Shell Helix oil promotion last month. He was there to give a few sweepstakes winners a ride around the track, but in the process, he inadvertently set a 6:14 Bridge-to-Gantry lap time.
With passenger! Please count the weight of all those GoPros too along with the passenger.

DTM is more or less German NASCAR

The downforce generated by these car is amazing making them incredibly stable in all but the bumpiest corners. The driver barely made any steering input corrections and drove very smoothly. Amazing driving but an even more amazing car!

I'm pretty sure the passenger is a fellow race driver and they were having a casual conversation about the track whilst doing the lap ;-)

Just to give you where his time stands, here's a list of BTG times... I'd say he obliterated them (well it's a DTM car after all).

Heck,...would be even faster if they 'smooth' out the rough spots on the inside of some of those curves! That's some serious driving!

Those are shift lights. They only appear to flash because of the camera's shutter. They light up in sequence. When you see the amber color, that means shift.
