Michael Vergers did it again! This time with the Radical SR8 LM and broken the previous lap record by a full 7 seconds with a time of just 6m48s. The 460hp 2.8L V8 Radical RS8 LM was equipped with Dunlop’s Direzza tires, which is not even R-Compound. The cars was driven to the track from Radical’s Peterborough base.

After two weeks, the dust has now settled on Radical’s incredible production lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. With the news that German motoring magazine Sport Auto has confirmed Michael Verger’s time of 6:48, Britain’s evo magazine has released exclusive video footage of the record attempt.
Alongside stunning images from the production car lap record bid (see the latest gallery), Roger Green and Chris Rutter from evo video documented the entire trip, from Radical’s Peterborough base, the trip to Dover, the ferry crossing and arrival at the ‘Ring.
News of the record rapidly spread around the world, with coverage as far afield as the USA, Australia, Brazil and Japan. The record car is now returning to the UK, having been on display at the circuit since the day of the record.
Well, the site is IMO the most accurate as a collective of lap times as you can get. Every registered lap is verifiable with a source usually either established by factory drivers, legit journalist, reputable drivers and various print media. The site is well moderated, since everyone can submit a claimed time but only the verifiable ones stays.
