86 at Nordschleife - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I saw this in the Tracking/Autocross/HPDE forum. I rarely venture there so I sometimes find things of interest to me.

things that came to mind on seeing the clip:
1/ The car looks quick enough for me
2/ The driver knew his way around the track and knew what he was doing
2b/ Too much emphasis is placed on a car and not enough on the driver
3/ If the car is not kept on the boil all the time performance falls off.
4/ Awesome
5/ Awesome
6/ Awesome

Careful!! Lol. There are plenty of Clio 200 vids that look faster than that 86 clip.

(<---- listen to the mirth around 2.45 when the gtr goes off. The guys are pissing them selves lol )

I could spend the rest of my days doing that sort of stuff without ever getting bored ! Corners flat ! Beautiful.

That video is from the www.rentracecar.de guys, I would almost bet the guy driving it is Theo who owns and runs the company. I've been there twice and rented Golf MkV GTI's from him both times. He took me for a passenger lap in his TDI Golf (diesel) and he drove like a MANIAC, he knows the track backwards!

Glad he's finally got a Jap car for hire, all his other cars are Euro (not that that's a bad thing!)

Here's the price list, yeah it's expensive but a not to be missed experience if you're anywhere near the track!

When I was there it was 8000euro if I binned the GTI, looks like they've put it up. I didn't baby it around the circuit but I was extremely careful around other cars! Saw a few bent cars in 2009, an EvoX from the UK got taken away on a flatbed looked like a write-off.

Edit: Just to add, when you drive around the Nordschleife it's your responsibility to pay for any damage to the road/track/surrounds that you do. Most common example is if you hit the armco you have to pay to replace it, and it isn't cheap! So the insurance has to cover that too.
