You sure about that ?

Some of the times seem about right for a lap of the ring, if there full laps including the gp circuit then thats VERY impressive !

A full lap of the Nordschlife. Not BTG, nor a lap including the GP Circuit.
I've seen the times in the the same format before in a UK publication.

JonnyBravo In addition to a BTG time you'd have the time taken to cover the distance of the main straight(20-30secs?)

not really that quick. if you consider most of us non-profesional drivers are hitting mid 8s, i'm sure a pro in a car like an e46 m3 could do 8.22 full
