Lap 6/6:
Last lap of the trip, which became my new personal best :)
I gave it all that I dared, and I only had a few "issues" with traffic.
Still no ESP, and still no ABS, which gave me a pretty scary lock up in miss-hit-miss (4:10)
This video should have been up much sooner, and I had a lot planned for it, as sort of a tribute to my little Fiat and the Nürburgring. I dropped finishing the intro, but I did get a little "personal best" celebration thing done, when crossing the gantry at the end, so I hope someone other than me will watch it, as I spent more time on it than I care to admit, lol.
Hi-lighted speedo in the middle; 12 o'clock is 120 km/h
Top speed was approx. 190 km/h, 5 km/h down to the previous 195 km/h in Fuchs röhre. The car was on 95 RON on this lap - and not 102 like the others, which to my surprise, actually made a small difference in the higher revs.
Average speed from bridge to gantry was 120 km/h.
Edited in VSDC - capable, but equally fiddly and frustrating software.

My first time in 3 years on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife - Good to be back!
Having only driven the ring in my beloved old Fiat Panda 1.2 with 60 Hp (and my Eunos Roadster in granny tempo), the extra power in my 100HP made a really big difference! The 6 speed box was really well spaced for the ring as well, which helped a lot to pull me and my friend up the hills - combined weight for us is around 215kg :)
The car:
2007 Fiat Panda 100HP 1.4 16v with 227.000 km, but still going strong.
Almighty annoying ESP system, slowing me down.
185/55R15 Continental ContiEcoContact - slowing me down :D
The eco tyres were an attempt to lower the grip enough, to make the ESP system leave me alone - it didn´t work. I deactivated it by lap 4 by unplugging the R.R. ABS sensor.
Because of the high tyre profile, the car is 5% higher geared than with the standard 195/45R15 fitment.
Camera setup:
Main camera: LG V40 107* wide angle lens on homemade wooden mount on 3 chassis points.
Rear camera: Good old Sony Xperia SP
Foot camera: Sony AZ-1 Action cam 170* lens.
I ♥ der ring!
