Quite enjoyed watching this. VR really brings the lap alive  8)

Wouldn’t be surprised if one or two off here could get nearer to his long standing lap record of 6.11 in a Porsche 962   :o  8)

I had read elsewhere the trackconfig was different but couldn’t remember in what way.

What impressed me with the vid was the speed of frame rate/sense of speed and the immersion that the VR gave  8)

He stats on the 24 seconds mark that this layout if shorter, but the pinned comment under the video states:

Bellof's record was set on the same 12.9 mile layout of the Nordschleife we have in AC. The old 1982 layout included a 1.3 mile hairpin loop hanging off the southernmost point at the point where the GP circuit bypass is now (in front of the T13 grandstands). In 1983, the bypass was added, because construction was underway on the GP Strecke circuit, making the old hairpin loop unusable.


Take your pick  :P
