one lap in a BMW Z4 M Coupe with V8 engine in june 2008 at the 20,8km long Nurburgring Nordschleife. you see lap 3 in a 4h-race, the engine in the Z4 is a >500hp, 4000ccm V8, from the old DTM Audi TTR, but is a BMW engine. more than 200 cars starts to this race.

I don't think it was that easy.

Porshe seemed to have a bit more grunt but the BMW looked like it had much better brakes.
