M3 CSL beats Zonda for Nurburgring record!
Here's the link:
http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/354/C13915/ New record for a lap is now 7 min 22.8 seconds, 5 seconds faster than the Pagani Zonda F. Hope it's not a repost.

Yes. So I don't understand how they can claim to have broken the mass produced car record since the car is seriously modified. Or, are they even claiming that?

Well, they just say "supercars", not "stock supercars". That definition is pretty open.

I think ,this shows the potential of an engine like that!! To beat a Pagani Zonda with an m3 is wrily somthing!!
Maybe bmw will think to do things like that in the factory!!! |

Its still running. We have use it for over 30000 km on track without any problem, never broke a part in egnine, gearbox and the rear axel.
Many people around the world told us in the beginning that the car will not hold together....the result speak for it self. I am very pleased with the results from this project and we will keep the Loaded car and do fun things in the future. Next year we will go for timeattacks on selected circuts in Sweden and Germany. This winter we do all the small changes on the car that we didn't do when the goal was to Timeattack the Nordschleife. Just stay tuned at www.loaded.se Take care everybody Anders and the Loaded Boys |

My intention was actually just the opposite. The Pagani Zonda is probably my favorite car of all time, so i have a fair amount of respect for it. My point was the M3 was completely stripped out, full roll cage, race suspension, etc... I'm saying the fact that a race car beat a street car (albeit a fast one) around a track isn't really an amazing feat. The amazing thing is really the fact that a street car was only marginally slower than a race car AND could be driven home.

Thank you and we must see this Loaded project as a underdog project that challenge the big boys ... and we did it good! We know we have 7-10 more seconds to give ... but we have already proven the skills with the drivers life at stake ... he is going to be a father in december and will be more careful now...I think Hes wife told me that she have never seen that look in his eyes before that we capture from the inboard cam ... it was a look taken from a medieval fearless warrior with murder in his eyes. honestly..that scarred the shit out of hear!!! |
