The time difference is actually quite a bit less. There was a discussion a few years ago and locals thought it was more like 7 - 10 seconds. |
You're funny.
You realize a car would need to travel at an average 530mph~360mph to cover the the 1660m (~1 mile) distance in 7-10 seconds respectively ? I don't know of many cars capable of that
.
There are 3 most common distance used for
Nordschleife lap times:
- Full course: 20.8km
- Sport Auto Supertest: 20.6km (skips the section in front of the "old" pits, used by most manufacturers for published times)
- Bridge to Gantry: 19.1km (skips the entire Döttinger Höhe straight, used during Turistenfahrts)
