Exclamation Clip of RX8 eating up the Nurburg Ring!!

Hey guys, you guys have to check this out!! If it has been posted before, then I apologize, but I thought that this was a new addition to their website.

RX8 at the Nurburg Ring

Anyways I timed the lap (starting at under the bridge and finishing at under metal poles both on the straight, since this was where Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear started and finished and thought I might aswel use it) and I got 8:31, which is an astonishingly quick time! From memory, I think that expensive sport cars with a test driver are supposed to get the 8 minute mark or mid 7's? I'm not sure on that, but either way, bloody awesome time!!

Pretty awesome aswel to see it at one point whizz by a Porsche GT3 RS (this was a guess, although you could see that it had the red rims and a red stripe on the lower side, so I don't know for sure). The Porsche left the RX8 for dead out of the corners, but the RX8 always caught up to it and was WAY faster through the corners! (I know that this might have been set up, and/or the Porsche might have not been driven by a profesional driver and etc etc etc. but either way, was bloody awesome to see!!)

Well anyways guys, enjoy the clip ei!!
