Hmmm, the BTG time from my lap was a bit less than in your video. So I think
that driver in your video can still improve his driving skills. :p
A BTG time in the range of 8:30 is possible with a standard 136 hp engine and good (Bridgestone RE55S / Dunlop Direzza) semi slick tires. :rolleyes:

And about 10 seconds slower with Toyo R888 tires.

Sweet camera set-up, and by looking at the tiny pictures, your car looks sick as well. Anymore pictures?

The guy driving is an amatuer, I dont know him personally, I just know it is a 320is. Looks quite fast, and sounds mean. I agree on the driving though.

I do however know the driver personally because when he was here visiting some years ago from England, I gave him a ride in my E30M3 2.5L.  I'm not sure of his driving experience, but I'm sure it's fun getting on that track even if it's only for one lap. His car is a 2.0L S14 motor and the AWESOME sound that you hear from the engine is the Carbon Fiber airbox just like the ones they ran on the race cars back in the '80's and early '90's.

I gotta bump this as it is motivating me to finish getting mine ready.

It won't be in the same galaxy as either of these cars as I probably won't be doing race tires and the motor is bone stock, but I'm planning on doing a more "every man's" camera setup to document.

Awesome video. I'd love to try and get to the Ring next time i'm in Germany....hopefully next year!

Great video/data logging setup btw. I'm currently trying to write an app for my android phone logging gps/accelerometer status and video recording, so i can replay the video straight after a run with stats displayed at the same time.
