I did some research on the Nubergring.
The current North track is 22 Km ( 13 miles) long.
This drifter did 80% (say 10 miles) of the clockwise track in 9 minutes. He did not video the last long straight away.
The fastest F1 time recorded for the modern 22 Km track was just under 7 minutes.
Quite a picture in my mind ... of a F1 car driving that circuit at 20% faster speed on average. The diference between a street car and a F1 car.
