Here's the lap that PistonHead's GT-R and Nurburgring fans have been waiting for - test driver and 'ringmeister' Dirk Schoysman talking us around the 'green hell' at serious speed in the car he famously helped to hone at the circuit.
Incredibly, Dirk has completed more than 14,000 laps of the track which - as he described in the video documenting PH's visit to Nissan's Nurburgring Technical Centre - is a distance similar to driving seven times around the world.
