This guy is a beast at the ring! I've monitored his site for a year now.

Thanx Gustav 
I've downloaded several 'Ring videos from that web site but this was my first from a motorcycle perspective. It can make you dizzy watching it lean left then right then left again 
Even at dial up speeds it was well worth the wait. Be sure to watch the digital speedo in the lower right. Its hard to see at times but neat to watch. Its obviously kph cause I saw 220 or more in the straights. Its a shame that the finish has been moved! I'd love to see a vid from inside an E39 M5 all the way down that straight. A whole lap would even be better.

GREAT VID! It's amazing to see the Beast just pass everything in sight, including motorcycles. I only wish I could hear its engine instead of the motorcycle's. On that last straight-away the speedo gets up to over 270 kph!! (170's mph) It also looks like several of the cars being passed are just out for a sunday drive.....i'm not sure if they really are, or if they're being passed so quickly it just looks that way. Two more months until delivery for me.....

Anyone having problems d/ling the High Resolution version? I click on the link and a few seconds later get the infamous "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" page. Been happening all evening.

WOW!!! Great video!! Thanks Gustav!
Must be difficult for that motorcycle driver, having to sit on balls of steal.  No way you'd ever get me on a bike at those speeds.... In less I was already dead.

I believe you will be depressed on the exhaust note. It is quite docile from the outside. But on the other hand split cost btween two other friends for a Taxi ride around . That is when you hear the growl inside the cabin real well.

The most fascinating is that one of the two ring-taxi drivers is a beautiful woman named Sabine. See here on this great Ring-site: http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/who/index.html
