I've done the Nurburgring a couple of times in cars far quicker than my Fit. In short, I deeply suspect your time of 8:19 for 14.2 miles (102 mph average)
I haf called up my German friend who drives the Ring regularly and he had a funny tale to tell. Seems his last trip there were 2 Fits paying to lap the Ring and betting who was fastest. Neither broke 18 minutes. The faster of the 2 turned 18.06. By the way even if you left out the "1" you'd be last. The other was 18.12.

*bump*

Yesterday I took my Jazz to the real Nurburgring-Nordschleife for four laps. At the moment, my car is in stock specification but it was a real blast to drive. The elevation changes are much more drastic than in video games or clips on YouTube. It's great fun but difficult with such soft suspension. It's impossible to drive real fast especially because of the fact that I got the slowest car and was constantly overtaken by some S2000, Porsche GT3 and Audi R8. The whole car sways on the bumps. What is more, the European 1.4 engine with 83 hp is sufficent but too weak sometimes. No chance to drive more than 150 km/h in some parts because of no power.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed the drive that lasted approx. 15 Minutes per lap and I'm looking forward to drive on the Ring next time with new suspension, exhaust and light weight rims. Anybody else who took his Fit to the Ring?

It is enjoyable even in an old Opel or especially in a 911.. Do it again. cheers.

GT4 wannabe thread gets bumped by a guy who really did drive his Fit (Jazz) at the 'Ring. Now that's funny!

For the record, I'm jealous of anyone who drives anything around that track.

Hum... this was a good idea! I'll go to the "Ring" next time I visit my sister in Germany. I drove by the Nurburgring and Nordschleife last time I visit my sister in Frankfurt. And I'll test my Jazz there

You will enjoy the laps very much. If it weren't for watching out for the blitzers the scenery itself is awesome. And while you are there rent a ride with one of the instructors. Very eye opening.

haha yeah; "Hey later on, I'm going to prop a bucket of water above your door so when you open the door, it dumps on you. But act surprised, okay?"

I think more realistically, people should just relax and not take everything they see on the internet seriously.

How do you get the video out of GT4? I still play GT4 every now and then and have a fully modded Fit and I've done high 7's. I'm gonna start it up now and save a replay.
