Record Lap - Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series on the Nürburgring Nordschleife

How close the new Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series actually is to motorsport has now been impressively demonstrated by GT3 racer Maro Engel on the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring. With an officially measured and notarized certified time of 6.43.616 min for the 20.6 kilometer-long track, measured without the straight at track section T13, and 6.48.047 min for the 20.832 kilometer-long total track, measured with the straight at track section T13, the new V8 meteor is placed in the top group of the street-legal “sports cars” category and number one among the fully standard, unmodified models.
“It’s really impressive how much downforce the Black Series generates and how confident and reliable it can be driven, even at the absolute limit. My hat is off to the developers from Affalterbach for what they have put on wheels here. And I’m very pleased that I was able to demonstrate these fascinating engineering skills with this great lap time,” said Engel.

I hardly saw any water in the lowest parts of the track, yet I saw the damp spots in uphill/higher elevation track. So again I assume that most of these corners were dry due to the number of times the AMG ran the track as well as earlier cars in the day.

I don't think enough credit is given to tire technology advancements in the last decade. This guy just matched the time set by a Pagani Zonda R on SLICKS. That doesn't even make sense to me. Zonda is lighter, mid engined with a track setup, more aggressive downforce, AMG tuned V12 with more power, and again... slicks. Brilliant car no doubt, I'm just blown away by the grip cars attacking the ring lately are managing. No drama. I wonder when we'll see the first road legal car break into the 5 minute range...

[@Georgekartveli]

I don't know how much of it has to do with it, but I think tire compounds are a major contributing factor. I have no proof for this so this is pure speculation, but if I had to guess modern semi slicks with modern compounds have better grip than what slicks used to have. Simply because of better compound.

Lol. You are a real bench racer aren't you? That track might have been damp, but it was almost nothing. I've driven that track several times on Cup 2 R tyres, and as much as they hate the wet, that track boils them and a cool or ever so slightly damp surface can be good in order to keep them cool. And as was suggested, hat amount of rubber in the track is what is left after a race there, and it adds grip too. Lastly, that cool day also adds more power to that engine than you might think. Run a nice day with little humidity, high barometric pressure and a warm surface, and you are looking at a very different scenario. Those conditions may not have been perfect, but they were damn close.

Congratulations on team Mercedes AMG. You make us all proud and now team AMG has once again regained the top position of fastest production car around the Nurburgring. Even while the track looks damp, still an amazing job from the car to the driver and team. 🇩🇪🖤❤️💛

[@trentmarlowe7655]

Well done. Fair bit of time left on the table with better track conditions. Congratulations.

Mis felicitaciones a Mercedes AMG por este record,una vuelta perfecta y me imagino el tiempo de vuelta cuando las condiciones de pista sean en seco. Grande Mercedes 😍😍

Congratulation to Maro Engel and AMG Team! You are the best!

Fricking insane- both the machine and the man!

Imagine if the track was dry! This is an incredible feat especially considering the track conditions.

[@OliverWode]

Wow, actually quite amazing considering how damp the track seemed to be.

[@philspaghet]

Seeing Maro wrangle the car through those slippery rumble strips and change settings mid corner was pretty insane to see! Good job AMG! Not only did you wreck the 918, but you did it in a car based on a GT car! Absolutely phenomenal to teh AMG team and Maro Engel!

I think it actually sounds pretty good but I assume that the sound is amplified? The downforce and the stability of the car on such a tricky track like the Ring is truly stunning.

@@slayer-stevkan5430 idk, in my culture something with a naturally aspirated high revving V8 with a proper engine and exhaust sound that slowly builds power as it revolves faster is much more appealing to me.

The track is damp,wet in some areas, I’m sure it can do a much faster lap

[@wolfgangbarrio5043]

True.

[@RJaviALR]

It was done on purpose on those conditions, lightly cold asphalt provides a better tire temperature due to evade over heating or extreme hot in the tire, which results in better grip and less lose of grip during the run. It was the same last week with the GT63S, Mercedes engineers are no joke, they studied everything before trying this, genius all the Mercedes team! Congratulations for the record attempt!

[@dianbarrow5653]

@@RJaviALR Yeah, but it'll still be much faster in DRY conditions

[@RJaviALR]

@@dianbarrow5653 That depends of the asphalt and tires. But in normal conditions, for a time attack lap, cold asphalt is better.
