CLK63 F1 Pace Car Practice Video
In the hands of a DTM driver. The car looks pretty quick on the track. Until the F1 cars are behind it then it looks like a ball of yarn being played with by 20 Lions.
Turn up the volume and Enjoy!

Great vid of that fine machine…in its element. Wow, that sounds mighty healthy. Looks to be so composed at the limit.
Only wish I was that passenger onboard so I could have observed a bit more closely!

It was amazing we went up there with couple friends (BMW drivers). You could hear the DMT from the gates before you are even close to the track. A beutiful machine.It was also awesome to see McLaren-Benz winning the qualifying and the race day.
go Hamilton!

Rumor has it this car is hitting 178mph at the end of the front straight in Indy yesterday. 
Also a good article and interview with Maylander (driver of the f1 pace car):

Maylander: "I have to drive 99% up to my limit. I can't drive over my limit - that extra 1% is to make sure I'm safe."
"The F1 drivers know I have to drive really hard in a much slower car, but if they push me then I know I can drive a little bit quicker. We have to play together."
