Just watched a BBC programme about old F1 races,
German Grand Prix 1957 at the Ring, Fangio won driving a Maserati 250F, also set a new lap record at 9 minutes 17 seconds.
In May 2011 on our week at the Ring I went round from bridge to paddock entrance in:
9 minutes 17 seconds in my Mk1 MX5.
Trying to get my head round that !!!!, Paul H.

Re: The Nurburgring
Hi Paul,
At full chat it takes about 20 seconds to get from the gantry to the paddock entrance and a further 12 seconds to get to the bridge.
So take 20 seconds of 9:17 and you have a very healthy B2G time of below 9 minutes. If you are running standard power that all comes from the corners.
However, while Fangio would have been on a flying lap he did have to go a couple of miles further and have a rather slow turn to contend with as well. But all that said his car would have been far faster in a straight line which does rather show what advances have been made in both tyre and brake technology in the intervening years.
