@lolxradioxlol Read the title. BTG. Bridge To Gantry. Only way to time a lap on a public session.

P.S. I fthat lap was done on a Yamah R1 street Bike, then someone needs to do it on either a BMW 2012 S1000RR, an Aprilia RSV4 Factory, or the New Ducati 1199 Panigale Tricolore. I could see a sub 7 minute lap from a good rider who knows the Nurburgring on any one of those Bikes.

@The80shilling Trust me when I say that you do NOT want to hit every apex on the Nordschleife on a motorcycle. There are plenty of places where the perfect turn-in or apex is just not possible due to a bump or depression.

@c5 mattes92 Bei der Antoniusbuche fängt die zeit an zu laufen und stoppt kurz nach der Döttinger höhe...fehlen also knapp 2 km zur vollen Runde wenn ich mich nicht irre...

@wiesenkoenig1 About 1.6kms and 22seconds, not counting the disadvantage of a standing start from the nordschleife zufahrt

@2639263926392639 Thank you!

I hope that one day I will be as fast as you ! Freaking hell! ;)

@tdneVmo Metzeler Racetec Interact K3. Fairly worn by this time by all accounts.

@The80shilling Your the only other person to notice running wide. Fixing the suspension and some fresh tyres would go toward knocking some of that time off. Missing 60% of apex's though? Bit harsh. Does run wide a lot though, hence late on the throttle. I think 20-30 seconds faster is a very tall order, traffic or not.

Road tyres??

An R1? I know someone that lives in the Ring and own plenty of R1s to his name and a select few that can do 7:20s BGT... *wink wink wink* :)

@nurburgdale it's the same with cars, the ''best'' line most of the times isn't the best line in the ring.. too many bumps that cause loss of traction etc, etc but that's why this track is so great... you need to know it if you want to survive.. lol
