The fastest Friday ever - Nordschleife record with the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo

  • 5 years ago
After 35 years, the record has been broken. Timo Bernhard laps the Nordschleife in 5:19.546 minutes. It is May 28th, 1983. A young and talented racing driver is competing in the World Sportscar Championship of the ADAC 1000 Kilometer Race at the Nürburgring to qualify. He is driving a Porsche 956 K, chassis number 007. Nobody expected Stefan Bellof to make history that day. He drives the 20.832 kilometer track in the fabulous time of 6:11.13 minutes. A record! This record was to remain unbroken for 35 years. Until June 29th, 2018. Another special Porsche starts in the Green Hell: a 919 Hybrid Evo. At the wheel, Timo Bernhard. He completes the lap in an incredible 5:19.55 minutes, 51.58 seconds faster than Bellof.
