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 and is used by most manufacturers for published times)
- Bridge to Gantry: 19.1km (skips the entire "long" straight, used during Turistenfahrts)

Some interesting facts about BTG:
The distance between the gantry and the bridge is almost exactly 1 mile, 1660mtrs.
It takes a top-end sportscar less than 25 seconds to cover this distance. Most normal cars with a 120mph top speed over 30 seconds.
A BTG lap isn't just 25 or 30 seconds shorter, as the standing start from point 'C' adds another 5-6 seconds back on the time for most cars.
The straight is very bumpy, and is uphill all the way to the bridge.
Top speed is attained into the dip AFTER the bridge on a flying lap
On a BTG lap top speed is attained before Schwedenkreuz or in the Foxhole (for lower power cars)
Okay so I miss remembered. But you are pretty cool with your response.... Good day...
