Ken Block amazing video

Shot just south of Paris, France in Linas at l’Autodrome de Linas –Montlhéry, this 1.58 mile oval track, built in 1924, features banks as steep as 51 degrees, which is more than double the standard incline of most NASCAR ovals. Chosen by Ken for this specific reason, the ramp-like banking proved to be a unique and exciting challenge. The driving physics for the stunts performed were totally unknown until Ken attempted the maneuvers during filming. He power slides the car until all the rubber is burnt onto the track and running on nothing but rims. Epic!!

Nissan GT-R Nürburgring record run footage

In April 2008, a stock JDM spec. Nissan R35 GT-R, steered by Nissan’s chief test driver, completed a lap on the Nürburgring Nordschleife in only 7 min 29 seconds – the new record time for serial production vehicles. This lap time was later disputed by Porsche, claiming the tires used in the record run were not standard, as claimed by Nissan. But Porsche were not really going to stand around while Nissan put there camp fire out and stole sales.
