Corvette Z06 on Nürburgring (passenger Sabine Schmitz)

A relaxed lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife with Sabine Schmitz as instructor and passenger. This is the same day as the German F1 Grand Prix took place on the adjacent GP track in July 2009. There is a grandstand on the Nordschleife at T13 which is why there is a speed restriction (30 km/h).

Unfortunately my car is so loud so I could hardly hear Sabine at all. The BTG time is around 8:56 on this lap, but my record is 8:09. The objective was to learn the proper "raceline" instead of the "touristenfahrt line".

Had to stop midway due to that stupid music.

Im am sorry if I have ruined your viewing (and listening experience). But check the other video from the Nürburgring on this channel. It doesn't have the music playing.  Or search for "Two GT3:s on Nürburgring chased by a Corvette C5 Z06". That is from this year and it is a much faster lap. More than a 1 minute faster actually.

Stupid music ruins everything.

@TenKateRacing Why don't you listen to your own clips? Horrible sound!

Don't throw rocks in a glass house...

[HolmesAndMaximus]

curious - did she have any comments/impressions regarding the vette?

[BlaZZeeman]

@HolmesAndMaximus

Yep, at around 1:03 she says: It's so loud! That's about it.

@BlaZZeeman LOL interesting, she must be too used to driving in M5's which whisper at 200 mph :P

It's a clip without music... Same car, same driver... Much faster!

[twoodsak36]

music is stupid. I'm throwing rocks. You mad bro?

If i would be Sabine i would not sit so relaxed in the seat.. the vette driver just give's 100% or nothing.. PERHAPS he doesn't look as far as he should troughout a corner or doesn't no the ring out his head jet.

@7j8i9m I guess this must be the same case with the record set by the ZOnda R, I feel like that car could go a lot faster than it did, as for this video here, looking at it a second time I believe that the bad quality of it and the amazing sound of the Vette make it look like he's driving a lot faster than he actually is.

@rafa281 This is relative. The Z06 is actually an incredibly fast car, outpacing even some fairly top-end Porsches. A relaxed lap in a Z06 is better than most performance cars can hope for.
