2009 Corvette ZR1 rounds the 'Ring' in 7:26.40

General Motors development engineer Jim Mero drove a stock ZR1 around the Nürburgring in a time of 7:26.4. That's faster than the 7:29 lap set by the Nissan GT-R.

GM indicates the car was bone stock with the exception of the communications and safety equipment. The tires were production Michelin Pilot Sport 2’s. These tires have been developed specifically for the ZR1 and will have impressive wet traction and wear (tread wear rating = 220), in addition to excellent dry road holding. Chassis alignment and vehicle height were set to factory specs. Likewise, the engine calibrations were absolutely stock, emissions compliant and the car ran on pump (not racing) fuel. The vehicle was exactly like the cars that will be built in Bowling Green, Kentucky and sold around the world later this summer.

GM is going to release an in-car video of the lap, but to give you a taste of speed here is the slightly slower Nissan GT-R.

Danica Finally Gets Her First Win

Team owner Michael Andretti stated it wasn't a matter of if she would win, but when she would win. Danica is now looking for her second win. After a visit to the Sprint Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway rumors started flying weather Danica would make a jump to Nascar. She looked at a possible jump into Nascar in 2006 when her contract was ending. Her current contract will keep her active until 2010. "Yes, I'm knee deep in Indy car," she said. "But when your contract time comes, anyone would be foolish not to explore options that are relevant. You have to go where you feel you have the best chance to win and the most opportunities and where you feel your heart is."
