So... Dodge are crowing about their 7mins 12secs lap time, but for 'Ring heroics everything, frankly, pales into insignificance compared with the 6mins 11.13secs it took the late, great Stefan Bellof took to secure pole position in the 1985 Nurburgring 1000km race.
With an average speed of more than 125mph, he took his 956 to first on the grid by more than five seconds. To this day it remains the fastest time anybody has ever completed the 12.93-mile layout.
Even the Pagani Zonda R, with 50 per cent more shove, a quarter-century of technological progress and no technical regs to adhere to still can't match it. Herr Bellof we tip our caps to you...
