Ride Onboard A BMW M4 DTM Car For A Stunning 6min 15sec 'Ring Lap
DTM driver Augusto Farfus took to the Norschleife in a specially-prepared M4 DTM car, clocking a sensational 6min 15sec bridge to gantry lap time
Before you get excited about how close this lap is to Stefan Bellof’s legendary 6min 11sec record, it’s worth remembering that a ‘bridge to gantry’ lap cuts off a significant portion of the track.
Nurburgring blogger Bridge to Gantry reckons this would amount to a 6:35 - 6:40 full Norschleife lap, but as a counterpoint, Farfus wasn’t flat out for the whole lap.
The lap was part of some promotional activities for Shell, but we’d love to see Farfus head back out in this ‘Ring-prepped M4 DTM for another lap without any lifts…

All those GoPros added atleast 2 seconds to the lap
Everyone crying about the weight of the GoPros, ignoring the fact that there is ANOTHER FULL HUMAN BEING sitting right next to the driver :D :D :D I think, if he was flat going Maximum Attack, the full lap would be under 6:11..
Got dash cam bro?
I think that might be a rocket ship
Balls be like… (Image credit on pic)
GoPro game is strong in this one.
Dude went full Gran Turismo. No fear of crashing.
My civic would wreck that…
I reckon all those GoPros and filming equipment is heavier than the passenger :p
Jokes aside, a flat-out lap would be more than welcome.
Haha ikr, its awesome
