My fastest time is 8:39 and my car is lightly modded. I'm going to finally put all my suspension parts and other stuff I have laying around on the car in the winter. I'm getting to the point that I feel I'm overdriving my setup so hopefully i can get lower times next year.

Yes they do rent cars and its anywhere from 400 euro to 1500 euro a day plus gas and lap tickets.

I think your time is fantastic considering that 8 min used to be the benchmark for supercars and your 8 is lightly modded.
Hope to see you reach the 8 min mark.......

I've been wanting to rent a new M3 to run but I think you have to be 30 for that. I'll try to find you some links to help you decide.
My 8:39 was from the overhead bridge at the start to the overhead bridge at the end before the long stretch.

Ok, now I understand, so I think my time was not too bad...
It was 9:10 aprox. in the same split but I started pulling after the overhead bridge (my speed under the overhead bridge was 50km/h aprox.)... and I stopped pulling after the last corner (my speed under the last overhead bridge was 132km/h aprox.) it was my first and only time (5 laps in 2 days) to enter the ring so I think is a good time, what do you think?
Some info of the driftbox...
Max. Speed: 195,79km/h in Schwedenkreuz I think (it was descent)
Max. Lateral G: 1,499
Max. Accel G: 0,787
Máx. Deccel G: 0,912
Incredible circuit, the best! Once you try itm other circuits becomes boring...
I hope next year I could go again... 1500kms from my home....

My top speed on sunday was 232 km/h at the end of Schwedenkreuz, and that was the first time I ever remember going that fast through there.
