Porsche 919 is the fastest in the Nürburgring – sensational record around the "Ring"

Then it happened. On Friday morning, June 29th, Timo Bernhard achieved the best lap in the world on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife. In the hands, the German had the wheel of a Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo, and the time (Bernhard and the car) noted every 5 minutes and 19,546 seconds.

Bernhard and Porschen became six minutes on the 20-kilometer track. .

The Trail of Fear

The northern rush of "green hell" is feared by many. In fact, there are several fatal accidents on the track each year. Sørsløyfa is the Grand Prix course, while the northern part is used for cycling tests, races and entertainment. In addition, it is generally open to ordinary people who can pay to run.

The NextEV electric car Nio EP9 received a ghost when it ran at 6.45.90 a year ago. You can watch the video of the new Porsche record a little lower in this case – it's 1 minute and 35 seconds faster than the electric car …

Record of 1983

The old Nordschleife record was set by Bernhard's compatriot, Stefan Bellof, on May 28, 1983. At that time, Bellof only would qualify for a race with his Porsche 956. He drove the 20.81 kilometers and 73 laps in 6 minutes and 11.13 seconds.
