Hope this isn't a repost.
This link is to a huge (54 MB) WMV file that shows
Hans Stuck doing a hot lap in a BMW M3 GTR at Nurburgring in Germany.
It is worth the download.
Have to watch it again....starts off with cold tires and eases into
it. Funny, seems pretty fast from the start, but watch carefully, he is
really taking it easy for the first minute or so...notice how high the
low gears are...he passes that red Porsche in 2nd gear, and is still
going probably 50+....6 speed transmission and uses all 6 of
them.....4th gear down the hill and around the corners (where the
camera goes crazy) so that tells you he is going incredibly fast
through that section.....that's first gear around that striped banked
corner....love the nice floating and twitching over and around some of
the hills and corners.....and the little sideways kick out of the other
small semi-banked corner - doesn't spend much time out of line.....the
closing speed on that car on the back straight is awesome, and so is
the "no lift", top of 6th gear corner right after that....I'd be
shaking my fist too after a lap like that!
It is a huge file, but 8+minutes of great fun! Enjoy! (Think I'll
watch it again....)Hans Stuck M3 Video
