Nissan GT-R snares new Nurburgring record
A Japanese specification GT-R, running on Dunlop tyres with RAYS forged alloy wheels (V-spec equipment) recorded a blistering 7min 27.56 seconds lap. Nissan's chief test driver, Toshio Suzuki piloted the performance coupe. Although dry, the track surface grip was impaired by dust and sand. Expect a quicker ring lap in the future!
