    I think it's Ehra Lessien.
    I think Koenigsegg is Swedish for: "Oh no, my head's just exploded!"

    you could very well have a point there. The classic Flugplatz shots show the cars coming from left to right....

    Good points - I was told it was a neurbergring shot, but it may be (from closer inspection) somewhere like Millbrook

    or the Alpine testtrack where Top Gear used to test some cars.
    I remember Tiff Needell testing the Porsche 996 Turbo, all telling about how exciting it was the car gripped to the tarmac like glue. 'most of the times anyway' was his comment taking a jump like the picture (post #70)

    Aston Martin production V8 Vantage fourth in class at 24-hour Nürburgring

    June 18, 2006: A factory prepared Aston Martin V8 Vantage has taken its place in the company’s history books after finishing a credible fourth in class and 24th overall at the Nürburgring 24-hour endurance race, among a field of largely motorsport-homologated cars.

    Negotiating a field of 220 cars, the four drivers: Dr Ulrich Bez, Aston Martin’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Chris Porritt, Aston Martin’s Vehicle Engineering Manager; Horst von Saurma, editor-in-chief of Sport Auto magazine, and development driver Wolfgang Schuhbauer, all raced flawlessly through more than 130 laps on one of the most demanding circuits in the world.

    Built at Aston Martin’s Gaydon headquarters the V8 Vantage was almost entirely production standard, including the engine and transmission. The only modifications made were for safety and pit-lane efficiency, with the full mandatory safety cage, special fuel tank and fire system, racing seat, and built-in air jacks.

    Conditions tested the drivers to the extreme with track temperatures reaching 43°C and from the initial 220 cars on the starting grid, only 141 finished. Despite these conditions, the V8 Vantage kept a steady pace avoiding traffic, resulting in a smooth race from start to finish.

    Dr. Bez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aston Martin said: “We delivered exactly what we set out to do by finishing the 24 hours without any technical problems or team issues. It is a real achievement to complete the race in the top 25 with a standard production V8 Vantage and shows the true capabilities of both the car and the team.”

    Chris Porritt added: “This has been a real test of endurance for the car and the whole team. It’s been a thrilling 24 hours and a real challenge for us all.”

    Dave King, Aston Martin’s Team manager concluded: “We are all delighted with the team’s progress throughout the event, it is a testament to all the members to finish with this result considering it is our first 24 hour race.”
    I'm going to eat breakfast. And then I'm going to change the world.
