On 8 October 2013 Nissan hired the entire Nürburgring Nordschleife, complete with marshals and timing equipment, in order for its Nismo-tuned GT-R to enjoy a clear track as it attempted to set a new lap record.
The fastest GT-R time to date (7:18,6) was set by Toshio Suzuki this time last year.
Now we wait for the announcement of what the new lap time is – and Porsche’s inevitable response.
