Students Eye Nürburgring Lap Record with Hybrid Prototype

Students from the Technical University of Eindhoven and the Fontys University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands are working on a hybrid prototype with the goal of breaking the overall Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time. Dubbed InMotion IN01, the prototype will have the hard task of breaking the time of 6:11 set by Stefan Bellof at the wheel of a Porsche 956 during Nürburgring 1000 kilometer's qualifying in 1983.

No technical details have been revealed yet but we'll be closely following the development of this ambitious project and we'd love to see the 30 years old record fall!

Is McLaren Trying to set a new Nürburgring Record with the MP4-12C?

I've spotted this picture a few minutes ago on the Nürburgring Webcam. It seems that the McLaren guys are cooking something for us because they braught an orange McLaren MP4-12C to the Ring. Maybe they are a little bit annoyed by the LFA Nürburgring edition's 7:14 lap time and they think that if an orange machine has to be on top, it must be a McLaren. Stay tuned for more details.
