austin dean he's a pro. He drives for the Corvette Racing team in the #3 car with Antonio Garcia. Great driver and he's been doing this for over a decade
I've watched every nurburgring video and this is by far this is my favorite. Getting back on the gas as soon as possible is the key to fast racing and nobody does it better than Jan. That's what being in F1 is all about
Just imagine having a great ride like this -- living near Nurburgring where you can have a good old adrenaline rush anytime you want. I know the great feeling I get after a good old back road bashing in my RX7. I can't imagine how fun this would be! Nice driving!!
Those fast uphill crests where the car looks almost airborne must be absolutely terrifying as a passenger. Watching Jan @ Daytona 24 as I type this. World class driver. :) cheers.
Excellent driving, excellent car... oh man the ZR1 is such a TRUE race car, impressive to see in any driving situations. lmao @ the bikes that got passed so fast and so easily :)
JM is a mad man. I saw him spin a Porsche GT3 into the wall years ago at Laguna Seca while fighting for position on the last lap. GM should him drive the new C8 Z06 at the Nurburgring for a hot lap to see what it can do .
I feel so proud to have owned one! Even though I never drove it quite that hard, I did use it to test my nerves (since I am not a professional driver) and it would always remind me that I was not. I sold it for what I paid for it to the leader of the Blue Angels and he loves it! I do miss it but I also know I will remain amongst the living a little longer not having it. I say that cause I know I am stupid enough to get myself into very serious trouble quickly!
Plus he did it with a passenger, ac, stereo, video console basically all the comforts of life. Not a stripped down car with a pit crew tuning the car. This is right off the showroom floor to the track with video proof that it is King.
I put it up on the 42" LCD in HD with the 5.1 Surround Sound on and watched it. Over and over and over. What an awesome run. Seems like the video is sped up, but its not. The only negative is the rear-view mirror blocking the horizon. Other than that, awesome.
going full throttle specially on a fast car that give you even faster trap speed is scary. it takes only slip, or slowing down too late that will cause you a crash. adrenaline from start to finish must be a wild fun ride
The steering wheel is slightly wrong, probably a development car, but with nav you have the bluetooth control things on the left side. Only on a 1ZR would you have nothing on the left side. I can't unsee this lol. And the dash faceplate is not popped in all the way. Mine was the same, just gotta orient it correct.
Incredible driving skills! I've seen too many people who can afford the car but only think they have the driving skills only to crash and destroy a nice car or worse!
INSANELY TALENTED DRIVING. I appreciate this video, even though that rear view mirror was just killing our view. Woulda been nice to have some on-screen telemetry too. But what gets me, is why the hell can't you give us the lap time in the description box, as well as details about the car? WE HAVE NO INFORMATION TO GO OFF OF.
+Niderfyn I already know all about that friend, I'm a 54 year old man with common sense. No disrespect meant, but what I mean is, and what I SHOULD'VE elaborated, was the fact the camera is mounted TOO HIGH. There is another video of another fantastic driver, driving a Vette to do a lap time at "the 'Ring" of 7:14. I can't think of the name of the video, but I just watched it the other day. The camera is basically the same view as this video, only that camera is MOUNTED LOWER..........so the rear view mirror isn't blocking as much of the view in the video. You can see that mirror in the video I'm speaking of, is much closer to the top of the screen. THAT VIDEO IS AMAZING!!! And it gives you, the viewer, the sensation that your squashed in between the seats going along for the ride. I was on the edge of my seat watching, lol. And in the comments under that video, that driver said that STOCK Corvette he was testing, was actually handling rather poorly & he had lapped much better times in Vettes that were set up much better. Amazing. I know, there are cars & drivers who have record laps not much over 6 minutes at the "Ring".......but the rather stock Corvettes are flat out capable cars for performance & considering their low cost.
