Well being in Germany (I think) I would assume it was KPH which is only about 100 MPH since there are a lot of tight turns, but out on the open straightaways 160MPH would be cool too.
Germany ... the good olde green hell :drool: Well, as the license plate of the bike leading isn't really german it could as well be mph, and as I watch the movie it really feels like mph

It makes me want to get a bike (and a license to drive it) but for my own safety it might be better id I did not go that way. Stuff that can go fast will go fast when I use it so a fast ambulance to the hospital will probably be the next fast thing I get after getting a motorcycle like that.
BTW: if it is MPH then he would be doing around 256 KPH at some points My guess is that is already KPH or the guy left his brain at home when did this. They are unable to get some of the cars so the cars would go even faster then 256 KPH. Heeee these are "normal" cars not the F1 stuff that they got some weeks ago my brother went to see and he keeps telling me that and showing the pictures D#mn next year I’ll go to the F1 race at Silverstone or something myself.
BTW2: We have a race for A1 Grand Prix of nations here at Zandvoort circuit in October this year. Me is going to be there, yeeeehaaa
just my 2 cents. it's mph. and approx 300kph with the cars on the nurburgring is a rule, not an exception.
or if you think that otherway around... it would be embarrassing to drive under 100kph with a bike on that track when cars drive the corners lot faster.
btw, does anyone have a link to a ruf clip from that track? could see from inside what it feels like to sit on that car that needs to pass the darn traffic

They have been and are still trying to get the big F1 circus to land at Zandvoort circuit so we will have a F1 GP here in The Netherlands but Mr. Eckelstone want a huge amount of money and the track is not up to F1 standards yet. All the access roads go through a small village with big rich people's houses. To get all the spectators to the circuit the access roads should be fixed but as you can guess the people living at the current access road think it is fine and do not want a 6 lane highway in front of them that is d#mn busy at a race weekend. In some years they plan to have the circuit and a new access road ready and then if they fork over some $$ to good old Bernie who knows maybe we will get a F1 GP. Keeping my fingers crossed.
