Evo round the Nurburgring

Anyone know what kinda times stock Evos do around the Nurburgring Nordschleife? I'm really curious, it would be nice to know the GSR, RS, and MR times but anything you can tell me would be nice.

There was a magazine article about a year ago about this. I think it was SCC, but not sure. They rented one and took it on a few laps out there. Wish I had the article

I have that issue of SCC. If I remember it was around 9:00. The couse is over 14 miles I think.

Did you guys know the nurburging is basically a public track and anyone can run it? It costs i think 15 euros and anyone with any car can go out there. They did a top gear show where clarkson took some jag out there on it and the line of people to get on the track was crazy.

That's true and it's on my list of to-do things.
This is the official webpage www.nuerburgring.de/
Somewhere on the menu below you can switch to english and then Leisure/Tourism option -> Drive your own car. Price list says 80 euros for 5 laps. That's a lot of driving for such a huge track. Wish we had something so good and so cheap over here in the states.

It's not the length of the course that's the problem, it's the 150+ turns. Look at the map:

8 minutes is pretty quick. I bet I could do it in eight minutes...In gran turismo 4.
