Nurburgring
Morning everyone!

Just wanted to share a video of my brother driving his M3 at Nurburgring.

Have a great weekend!

He actually holds pretty clean lines, although he does need to get down more. I can tell you from personal experience however, that it's quite scary the first time your knee touches pavement and you start to slide at triple digit speeds. It takes months, even years of hard riding to get to that point.

Cool vid, BTW, and your bro is a good driver.

thanks for the feedbacks! Not sure how many times he has driven on it but i would imagine quite a bit.

Fastest lap time: 8.07 (light traffic)
Avg lap time: 8.20 (worn tires and brakes)

That's fast! Isn't there only dozen or so stock production cars that can break into the 7's???? Just throwing out that number but i though 7's was a pretty exclusive group!
