Bizarre news from the Nurburgring in the form of a ban on attempting to set lap records around the famous track renowned for its 13 miles of hell.



This decision came after the fatal accident that happened during the VLN race earlier this year in which a GT-R came off the track, over the barriers and killed a spectator. Shortly after the incident a speed limit was introduced on that short stretch of track on the Flugplatz section, but now more and more speed restrictions are appearing for health and safety reasons. According to Nurburgring management, they will review this decision at a later date, but for now it will be in place.



Koenigsegg were about the try for the production car lap record with the One:1, but are now on hold.
