Awesome video of Corvette Racing's, Jan Magnussen taking on the Nordschleife in a 2009 ZR1 at an incredible speed!

Damn, just damn... It's nice to watch a pro go to work!
![]() Thanks for posting that one Bryan! ![]() I wish I could translate what Jan said at the end of the ride. One thing struck me, that track has some bumps! I would like to try in my Z, but I think that the bumps and our suspension would not get along too well?

I don`t know Jan Magnussen is but he can sure drive. That Vette really hauled a$$ too. Good video. =D> Makes me want to do the Richard Petty driving school at Talladega. A friend of mine went down there about 5 years ago and drove a car. He was supposed to follow another car and run up to around 165 mph. A couple times he would fall behind in a curve so he could really top it out in the straight-a-ways and catch back up. Said it cost about 500 and was worth every dollar.

Magnussen is still an active driver, now in the Danish Touring Car Championship (DTC) and in a Chevrolet Corvette C6.R in the American Le Mans Series with Johnny O'Connell as team mate – and of course in the 24 hours of Le Mans. In the Danish Touring Car series he drives a BMW 320si E90 for Team Den BlÃ¥ Avis Fleggaard Racing. He has won the DTC on two occasions in 2003 and 2008.

Awesome! And not even wearing gloves!
I noticed in severe turns he holds his grip and crosses over his arms. Cool? |
