Just thought some of you here would enjoy this little snippet from this weekends TF sessions at the Nürburgring.

We were just going for what should have been relaxed laps in the massive traffic - hence no helmets. But the chance of getting a video like this was not one I would want to miss.

No doubt the 4wd and 200 bhp surplus means the Huaracan has the legs on my GT3. But with a really sorted suspension and perhaps a bit more experienced driver - the traffic makes sure this is actually a really close lap between us. I have not counted the overtakes but there are plenty.

Hope you enjoy and share the video of what is probably one of my most enjoyable laps ever on the Nürburgring

Great vid with some great driving. You must be pleased as punch with that 997 GT3!

Great vid, enjoyed that, the lambo is ferocious on the straights!

The next lap round after this one - he pulled over and gave me the lead.

You can find his lap behind me here. Some even closer overtakes on that one.

My video is on its way also.

Not sure the bergwerk pass was one the bike appreciated.....

That lambo is unbelievably fast. Beautiful thing.

It's all you ever need at the Nürbrugring - and such a fantastic car to take around Down there. Still needs a bit more tinkering as I evolve with the car and that makes it even more fun and challenging.

In the moment it did not seem that close. He moved inwards and I had such extra speed I made the move. If you see the video, he never even moves his head or otherwise seems to realise what happened.

good firm but fair driving, as is required on TF days in my experience - hesitation is much worse than decisiveness on the Nordschiefe.

Good Vid not sure why you need gloves with an alcantara steering wheel though ?

Same reason golfers use them while swinging - all about the grip! Or like me, sweaty palms after a while!
I'd imagine Alcantara gloves on an Alcantara wheel are almost velcro like...
