There's A New Nurburgring Record...For The Fastest Lap With A Trailer
Bored of car manufacturers obsessing over Nurburgring lap records? Here’s something that might provide an antidote. Or maybe it’ll just irk you further. Either way, it’s a Nordschleife record with a difference.
A German firm called Moetefindt - which specialises in racing car transportation - sent a Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo around the Green Hell…while towing one of its trailers.
Called the ‘FTP235’, it’s - as you can see - rather large. The twin-axle trailer was also loaded with a Porsche Junior tractor for good measure. Despite the heavy load and having a top speed of only 110mph, the car and trailer combo managed to lap the ‘Ring in an actually quite respectable 12 minutes and six seconds.

So far as we can see though, no one’s claimed a feat like this before, so this is best considered a benchmark for others to beat. Not that we’d expect people to be lining up to smash such a weird record…

Whats next? Running on the Ring record?
Reminds of something
but I can’t quite remember it
It’d be great to see Phil setting a lap record on the Nürburgring for completing a lap without breaking down or leaking oil. 😛
Judging by recent form, I know one person who’d love to break that record…
I think these guys set the record at the ring
