Derek Bell's Nurburgring Lap

Whoah... I can see soooooo many places where I would crash if I drove that track.  Never knew it was that blind!

Stefan Bellof set a lap time of 6:11 on the same track as in the clip, so 30 seconds faster than Derek Bell!!

Bob,

Just as amazing, is Bell being so calm, just like a regular cruise in the country side.

To me the commentary sounded as if it was added afterwards.

Great video. He makes it look very easy but we all know it isn't. I have a hard time getting all the around just in a video game.

Regardless, it was an impressive drive.  Another one of those scenarios where you realize these guys are in an entirely different league.
