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

M4 GTS is much more heavy than this one.
A lot of practice is needed to go flat in some areas. 🤐

[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

Well they used to be related to production cars (or should I say: production cars used to be related to DTM race cars), but that was a long time ago

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!

He sure as shit nails other parts of the track hard though. Here's my highlight reel commentary

1:10 Looked like he was full on it up to Hocheichen, then he lifts for Quiddelbacher-Höhe and kind of coasts through Flugplatz

1:40 Big lift for Schwedenkreuz. Not so much as a flick of the steering wheel over the crest. Probably could have gone flat.

2:05 Nice and clean run through Adenauer Forst, which even solicited a gimme-five

2:40 Watch the compression hit at the chicane between Kallenhard and Wehrseifen. Bam!

3:15 Pulls hard out of Ex Müle. So much so he checks up a bit.

3:45 The fourth-left after Bergwerk was flat; as it should be in a DTM car.

4:00 Just the slightest lift at Mutkurve.

4:30 Blasts it out of the Karussell.

4:55 Carries 5th through Hedwigshöhe, heyo!

5:30 Lifts just before Pflanzgarten, but that might be typical in a DTM car; not sure.

5:40 Another opportunity to carry 5th taken at Sprunghügel.

5:45 Hauls ass through Pflanzgarten II!

From there it's pretty clinical. Must have been a lot of fun, but the time isn't full 10/10ths pace.
Agree: he was taking it easy in the 1st part and then nailed it as he was having more fun driving the track! I'd say he could at least gain 5 seconds on his laptime...

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).

LOL, I hadn't watched the video before reading your comments. After reading your post, I couldn't resist. As you say, that was clearly not an all out lap.

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.
