I think record means video record not lap record.

I was wrong! From Carscoop.blogspot.com: "new lap record for a front-wheel-drive production car on the 'Ring with a time of 8m 17s"

And so Renault joins the Nring times battle! Hope to see similar performance from the other hatchback manufacturers soon.

Hah! The STIG! Some say if he were to catch on fire, he would burn for an eternity.

Awesome. You get a car thats faster than a previous gen M3 and the new Camaro. This is easily one of the greatest Renaults ever built along side the R5 and the Clio Sport V6.

Opel is developing an Astra "light weight edition" too, could be an interesting N?rburgring battle. The normal Astra OPC did 8:35.93 two years ago with Manuel Reuter driving it.

I'm sure they could have fit another couple hundred camera changes in there - maybe then they could have made it look like it was sub-8 minutes. Blatantly obvious all those those pointless view changes are hiding cuts in the run to make it seem faster than it was. Must try harder Renault.
