Video: Nordschleife Hardcore - BMW M3 CSL following a 997 Turbo
Sport Auto recently arranged "Nordschleife Hardcore".
This is a video of a BMW M3 CSL (stock) with my friend driving, following a 997TT.
The driver of the 997TT is the instructor, Wolfgang Kaufmann. He's a professional race driver (try google if you want to know more about him). Group 1 means the fastest group. Still they have to wait for the Ferraris
Sorry about the sound, apparently the cam and the microphone are attached. Takes a while before they step on it, but fasten you seatbelts and enjoy!

I guess the conclusion is that the 997TT flies on the straights, but has a harder life in the corners vs the CSL.
Remember the CLS only has 360 hp.
Another film where you can see the steering wheel

Nice video. Maybe I saw a different one. From my point of view the 997TT, (i.e. the instructor in a lead /follow format), clearly has to slow down to allow the 430 and the slower(student) csl m3 to catch up. I would not draw any conclusion that a m3 is somehow superior to a TT anywhere on that track, straights or twisties. Great video.

I think the 997TT in the video is on normal street tires and the CSL is on r-tires (Michelin PS Cup).
Still in Sport Auto lap times the CSL is a few seconds faster (4) than the 997TT (same tires).
