Okay, I decided to do the maths. It would appear that the TT lap taking about 17 minutes (1055 seconds, 60 720m) represents an equivalent Nürburgring lap time of about about 6 minutes (362 seconds, 20 832m)
I know Higgins' latest car was 600bhp but the standard-ish car with roll cage in 2014 did it in just over 19mins, still equivalent to a 6min 40sec Nürburgring lap.
The Nürburgring is far wider and flatter than the roads the local Manx pootle about on, though I understand that the Nürburgring is a festival of adverse camber. Have I got my maths wildly wrong?
I know that different courses can be better for different cars, but this disparity seems bizarre.

There's over 200 bends in the TT course, and quite a few more than 90º

Subaru have been building a car for Ring attack. Here's the preview video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4HmoOAqtm8


Then today this happened

This happened..?

You mean they broke 7min??


I think they should produce a road version that can be upgraded for less than £5k to a sub 7min 30sec car. Loaded did it with an old M3...
