It's hard to tell how good the time is really, the driver was an Aussie presumably the Holden engineer that is "ring certified" but realistically how good is he? It a serious track one that can take a 1000 laps to get to know it just wondering how much time would be had by an experienced driver.

It really is a magic place, Disneyland for hoons.
Although it was 7 years ago I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Holden have now posted on their web site the VF SS-V Redline Ute's lap of the Nurburgring with commentary from the driver, plus some other interesting videos. Quite impressive.

So when does HSV take the GenF GTS to the ring to ruffle a few feathers ?
