Footage of the Nissan GT-R’s most recent “record” time has now made it on to YouTube. At the wheel is Nissan Chief test driver Toshio Suzuki and you can see clearly from the clip that he had a job on his hands, fighting what appears to be some pretty savage understeer at times. Check the work on the wheel at Aremberg (1:21 into the lap).
The speed after Aremberg on the downhill run into Fuchsröhre is amazing. Although, that speed did come at a cost with a pretty hairy moment at the first left hander into Adenauer Forst (1:40).
It’s a cracking lap, I trust you will enjoy watching it.

This car seems to enjoy the fifth gear. Impressive driving by Toshio Suzuki.
