Nürburgring fastest lap time records may now be held by Porsche forever as the ‘burg bosses have put an end to the fastest lap tests that were due to be undertaken by Koenigsegg. After a spectator was killed during a recent accident, circuit bosses have put all lap record activities in hold.
Sources say that it may not be a permanent ban, and may be reviewed later on in the year. The announcement comes just days before Koenigsegg were due to take the new One:1 for a weeks worth of testing and chasing the heels of the Porsche 918 spyder which currently holds the record. No one knows if or when these cars will be allowed to go round again, but its seems a terrible waste of a fantastic circuit.
Apex said ""Official word from Nürburgring management is that these restrictions will be reviewed at the end of the year,"say Apex, "but for the time being, manufacturers like Koenigsegg are banned from attempting lap-time runs — even if they’ve rented out the entire track for themselves."
