Nice time by the Camaro, but even crazier than that is the fact there's at least 75 cars that have now gone under the 8:00 mark at the Nordschliefe. Only a few years ago 8 was the magic number. As an equal opportunity car enthusiast, I love the progression.

Any car under 8 minutes on The Ring is hella fast. Certainly faster than you could ever drive on the street!

I still love to see them knocking these times down on increasingly more accessible cars.

Well, it's not 8 minutes, but still...a cargo-van can do the 'ring in 10.
