Nordschleife fastest lap times
Encyclopedia
This is a list of lap times achieved by various vehicles on the Nürburgring
(Nordschleife). The list itself is broken down into categories.
The Nürburgring
(Nordschleife) in Germany, with its remaining 20.8 km (12.9 mi) long old section dating from 1927, is used by various motoring media outlets and vehicle manufacturers for testing. Manufacturers publish times for promotional purposes while automotive media outlets usually publish times for comparison and reporting purposes.
, there are no official rules that govern the measurement and certification of lap time on the Nordschleife.
For the announcement of production car lap times, submission of an official announcement, accompanied by an on-board video with telemetry, and a mention of the tires used have become customary.
) at the Nordschleife is the most discussed result. The magazine also runs a challenge for the fastest lap time driven with a car that is road legal (TÜV
) and registered in Germany. The road legality rule also applies for the tires.
British motorcycle magazine Performance Bikes Magazine
began testing their bikes in a regular feature at the Nordschleife in March 2007 and finished in December 2007. Bikes were tested by Dale Lomas and a character named only as The Baron. As with sport auto, all machines tested are road-legal (albeit in the UK) and shod with road-legal Bridgestone
BT002 Pro Race tyres. To date there are 28 lap times published in the regular feature. As motorcycles are forbidden to participate in industry pool sessions and after-hours test sessions, Performance Bikes were forced to test during quiet mid-week tourist sessions, where speed limits apply in some sections. This means their lap times are measured from bridge to gantry (see below) and are approximately 22 seconds shorter than a full 20.832 km (12.944 mi) Nordschleife lap.
Nordschleife runs are conducted or observed by various other media outlets, such as British Evo Magazine
or Germany's Auto Bild
.
The TV Series Top Gear
also used the Nordschleife for their challenges, often involving Sabine Schmitz
. James May
was very critical of the influence of Nordschleife lap timing, saying that it "corrupts performance when it's used by car makers to develop new models. Testing prototype cars on a circuit is nothing new, obviously: it's probably been going on since someone drove a horseless carriage onto a disused donkey derby track. But the 'Ring, through being communal and open to all, encourages a pointless scrabble for comparative lap times that isn't helping you or me."
, conduct their own timing runs and publish these for varying purposes. Manufacturers also lend support to private entities or media outlets.
There are varying lap lengths. Therefore, not all of the lap times are comparable.

There are 5 sections on the 20600 m (67,585.3 ft) long Supertest-Nordschleife:

Production
Both „production“ and „street legal“ vehicles are not easy to define. The Nürburgring
is a public (toll-) road, and regulations of Germany and the EU apply. For the purpose of this list, a car is “street legal” if it comes with a manufacturer-provided certificate of conformity that allows the car to be registered in any country of the EU for road use. For the purpose of this list, existence of this certificate (either European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval (ECWVTA)
or European Community Small Series Type Approval (ECSSTA)
) is undrstood as a demonstration of intent for some kind of mass production. A production vehicle
is defined as "one that is put into mass production, as a model produced in large numbers and offered for sale to the public." For new entries, this list requires an official manufacturer’s statement for manufacturer-conducted tests. If the test has been conducted by an independent publication, an article in that publication is required. New entries require an on-board video, and a statement that OEM tires have been used.
General Note: International motorsport sanctioning bodies used the 20.832 km Nordschleife variant in 1983 only.
Formula One
car around the Nordschleife, on a BMW publicity day in combination with a VLN
4h endurance race. For safety reasons, BMW announced that the car was slowed with hard demonstration tires, maximum ride height, and 275 km/h top speed limited by the transmission. Heidfeld drove three laps on the combined Nordschleife and short GP-track, as used in VLN races, with a track length of 24.433 km (so comparison with older records is difficult).
The official lap time released by BMW Sauber
was declared to be 8:34 (thus ca. 30 seconds slower than the fastest Porsche 996 turbo in VLN). The German press duly reported this lap time, yet criticized BMW. In each lap, Heidfeld slowed down once to pose for a slow video truck, at Schwedenkreuz on the first lap 1, Kesselchen in lap 2, and Döttinger Höhe in the last lap. The two time spans in between the three passes of Heidfeld were clocked by some fans around the track, first Wehrseifen to Wehrseifen in about 7:28, then 7:22 from Klostertal to Klostertal, which is over 50 seconds quicker than the fastest current Porsche 997 GT3 RSR in VLN. This translates to an average of about 200 km/h (124.3 mph), similar to Bellof's record, but considering the slow GP section, Heidfeld probably was faster on the Nordschleife, close to 6 minutes. Fans who respect the official record of the late Stefan Bellof settle for an "estimated 6:12".
Road & Track
magazine reported Heidfeld's lap was a 5:57 or 5:58 (for the Nordschleife only), breaking the track's six-minute barrier for the first time in history. However, their times were done by measuring the speed in some corners, and then calculating a lap time, and not timing a full lap. Heidfeld has since expressed his desire to repeat the experience with less restriction.
According to formula one F1 Racing
magazine of June 2006, BMW engineers had estimated that a BMW-Sauber F1.06 could lap in under 5:15.8 which equals to an average of 237 km/h (147.3 mph).

Timing by private drivers
Some lap times are even claimed to have been done during tourist driving sessions. It is forbidden to race on tourist days as it is very dangerous to drive fast among the general traffic. One should not try to measure the lap time on a tourist day. Additionally, there are two speed limits (one in Breidscheid, and one on "Döttinger Höhe") on tourist days, which also impacts the lap time.Track lengths and timing
Full lap
A full lap of the Nordschleife, bypassing the modern GP track, is 20.832 km (12.944 mi) long. Most laps are completed 200 metres (656 ft) shorter for safety reasons. Full uninterrupted flying laps can only be done in closed sessions and race events like Castrol-Haugg-CupCastrol-Haugg-Cup

Sport Auto lap
During the industry testing sessions in which sport auto records its "Supertest", the track can not be traveled at full speed past "Tribüne 13" (T13, grandstand 13) in order to allow safe access from the old exit/entrance there. Thus, sport auto Supertests cover only about 20.6 km (12.8 mi), which in average yields a 7 s shorter lap time compared to a full lap.There are 5 sections on the 20600 m (67,585.3 ft) long Supertest-Nordschleife:
- The first is 3850 m (2.4 mi)
- The second is 4235 m (2.6 mi)
- The third is 4825 m (3 mi)
- The fourth is 4846 m (3 mi)
- The fifth is 2844 m (1.8 mi)
- The total is 20600 m (12.8 mi)
Bridge to gantry
During tourist driving sessions, the full main straight cannot be driven at speed due to the exit/entrance. These laps are usually timed "bridge to gantry", which is only 19.1 km (11.9 mi). The lap goes from the "bridge" to the "gantry" (currently carrying AudiAudi

4h endurance race. For safety reasons, BMW announced that the car was slowed with hard demonstration tires, maximum ride height, and 275 km/h top speed limited by the transmission. Heidfeld drove three laps on the combined Nordschleife and short GP-track, as used in VLN races, with a track length of 24.433 km (so comparison with older records is difficult).

was declared to be 8:34 (thus ca. 30 seconds slower than the fastest Porsche 996 turbo in VLN). The German press duly reported this lap time, yet criticized BMW. In each lap, Heidfeld slowed down once to pose for a slow video truck, at Schwedenkreuz on the first lap 1, Kesselchen in lap 2, and Döttinger Höhe in the last lap. The two time spans in between the three passes of Heidfeld were clocked by some fans around the track, first Wehrseifen to Wehrseifen in about 7:28, then 7:22 from Klostertal to Klostertal, which is over 50 seconds quicker than the fastest current Porsche 997 GT3 RSR in VLN. This translates to an average of about 200 km/h (124.3 mph), similar to Bellof's record, but considering the slow GP section, Heidfeld probably was faster on the Nordschleife, close to 6 minutes. Fans who respect the official record of the late Stefan Bellof settle for an "estimated 6:12".

magazine reported Heidfeld's lap was a 5:57 or 5:58 (for the Nordschleife only), breaking the track's six-minute barrier for the first time in history. However, their times were done by measuring the speed in some corners, and then calculating a lap time, and not timing a full lap. Heidfeld has since expressed his desire to repeat the experience with less restriction.
