Top driving and nice motor.

[MrWolfe1988]

Excellent bit of driving!

Also you have a very well behaved passenger there, lets just say mine are normally a bit more hysterical

[XmodGT1]

Dude, your top speed?

[ChrisH156]

@XmodGT1 Was limited to 130mph.

[Rangeroversport12]

i bet the karrousel (carousell) was scary!!

[Mr330d]

800nm is crazy lol a merc c32 amg has 500nm lol has ur chip increased mpg? altho driving flatout on the ring wouldnt help mpg lol sum machine you have :D

[h47d1r]

Amazing engine sound.

[clwaters]

Crikey! :D

[TheVtieg6]

I was in a TDV8 last night and despite ts weight it had some real good pulling power.

[573W1E6R1FF1N]

Now that is what i call a RR SPORT! You need serious guts to drive like that :D

[Princebenidorm]

You have big cojones ! Love it !

[randomstrangerno1]

Impressive. And expensive.

[geati6783]

my penis would become so small if someone pass me with a 3 ton SUV on a racetrack xD

[oldirtybastard213]

@geati6783 3 ton DIESEL SUV ... lol

[RangeTDV6]

is chiped your range sport???

[ChrisH156]

It wasn't when I took the video, It is now though.

[RangeTDV6]

ok ... I have a Range Rover Sport TDV6 but I have not tuned for fear of breaking the engine.

bye

[13herman]

@ChrisH156 how much hp dit you get extra by chiping it?

[ChrisH156]

@13herman hp is now about 315/320 but the torque has gone from 640nm to 800nm.

[Redlayni]

@ChrisH156

Hi I have the exact same car (stornoway grey color) and I am thinking of chiping it. What s the name of your chip program or model? I guess its superchips but I may be wrong. Please help me with this. Thanx...

[bobleeswager123]

hot brakes comming through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tdxi124]

I'm thinking of buying one soon, please post the reg so I don't buy this one!!

[0thingthing0]

my god you overtook an E36 m3, an E46, m3, a jaguar xf (possibly 4.2?), a porsche 944 and 4 bikes! the only cars that overtook you were an E92 m3, an audi R8 and a subaru sti

[EccentricRichard]

Wasn't an E92 M3, it was a 1-series Coupé, probably a 135i.

[TDV6GS]

BLOODY HELL!!!! Passed an M3 youre some driver and what a machine

[ChrisH156]

Two, an E36 and E46. :)

[badroo]

Not 7:49 for the whole lap. I estimate somewhere between 9:35 and 9:45 BTG which would be 10:05-10:15 for the whole lap.

Still very good going in that big ol' bus!

[ChrisH156]

9:30's are do-able without too much traffic. Not a bad lap though bearing in mind I had a full car with 10 days worth of luggage in the back on this lap.

[itchytriggerfingers]

Christ that was brave in a tank like that

[jase20vt]

you my friend are a legend fantastic bit of driving

[n1ckotene]

The Range Rover Sport is totally over the top I love it!

Great driving.

[jamewalk01]

Great lines and a great lap.... ca't wait to get my RRS TDV8 next week!

[DrASPIRINPLUSC]

Do you know your fuel consumption during the "race"?

I'm interested how much fuel you need in a TDV8 while driving like seen in the video...or what's the (average) speed when you drive there?

great video, great car and great driving skills! roll on dude!

[mihciu92]

If you go fast( I ckecked it) TDV8 consume about 16-17l/100km.

[ChrisH156]

Thanks,

I have no idea on MPG figures, I'm guessing they won't be great as you're mostly flat-out.

I'm going back with the Sport again soon, now it has been remapped, 320hp/800Nm should make for an even faster lap.

[tnolanjet]

well done that was awesome.!! you passed heaps of guys and they would have been F&*^%^ pissed off with a RR racing passed them

[mrsoupdragon]

And it'll be just as good in the mud!

They really are awesome machines!

[Androidv4]

that is freakin amazing, did you seriously do the entire track in 7:49? If so that is a testament to you and the car. I think I might have to get the TDV8 over the supercharged. Amazing.

[ChrisH156]

The video is slightly edited so that's not a 7:49 lap - The TDV8 will quite easily do an 8:30 though.

The only reason to choose a S/C over a TDV8 would be for the sound and even then, the TDV8 still sounds very good for a diesel.

[fishelfinder]

There's another guy on YouTube that has the Supercharged. You absolutely destroyed him with your TDV8! Nice work! My family has a Sport S/C and a Proper S/C and just love them. Thank you Brits from the States. Ours are really reliable which makes me wonder why everyone always says, "Be aware." Better built than any American car out there, that's for sure. And we've had those too. American cars break all the time, and are built like tin cans.

[Detoyato]

Well the other guy is in his first time round the ring so forgive him for that. I did but still This one is such a nice lap for a RR

[avpt123]

what do you do as a job mate to afford a range rover and risk it on the nurburg .lmao.???

[NiallMarks]

haha love it! im going soooon for suree

[nuwans]

how long did it take you to get to germany from the UK?

[ChrisH156]

As I am based in the South West, quite a long time.

[NayabHKhan]

Nice run there mate. Well controlled.

[marcel911]

I've often wondered what it's like on the ring with an auto transmission. I guess it puts more stress on the brakes.

[Sobspeed]

Well... What can i say? Balls of steel :-) Looks like you know the track very well :-)
