Tommy Millner doing a lap of the combined Nordschleife in a Z4 coupe GT3 as practice for the 24 Hours of the 'Ring this weekend. It illustrates quite clearly the effect of traffic on the race. The Mercedes in front of him seems to be a faster car in a pure speed sense, but Millner is able to close a sizeable gap by taking advantage of traffic slowing down the faster Merc. Also seeing four cars with a huge differential in speed entering Karussell at the same time shows how insane it is that this race still exists. If there were an accident there is almost no run-off area.
