Gumpert claimed to have set the record for production cars with a Gumpert Apollo Sport last week (08/13/09). The time was 7'11''57. It looks pretty impressive though.

"The quickest time ever around the Nurburgring is 6:11.13, with Stefan Bellof behind the wheel of a Porsche 956 in 1984."
Was that the same configuration as now? With all the advances in race car technology, no one has driven faster in the last 27 years?!

I suspect the reason is because professional race teams don't test there any more. It hasn't been used for F1 since the 70s. I don't think LeMans prototypes can test there. The Ring is mostly used by auto manufacturers for testing, or public lapping.

186 kph at 1.7 g through Klostertal. I'm surprised he was able to set a new record with all that extra weight from those brass balls you'd have to have to run like that.
