Since the 1990s, the German magazine ''[[sport auto]]'' publishes its "Supertest" of cars, in which the lap time at the Nordschleife is the most discussed result. During the industry testing sessions in which [[sport auto]] records its "Supertest", the track can not be traveled at full speed past "Tribüne 13" (T13, grandstand 13) in order to allow safe access from the old exit/entrance there. The missing {{convert|232|m|abbr=on}} uphill section, from a slow right hand corner, would take in average an extra 7 s compared to a full lap.

There are 5 sections on the {{convert|20600|m|ft|abbr=on}} long Supertest-Nordschleife:
*The first is {{convert|3850|m|mi|1|abbr=on}}
*The second is {{convert|4235|m|mi|1|abbr=on}}
*The third is {{convert|4825|m|mi|1|abbr=on}}
*The fourth is {{convert|4846|m|mi|1|abbr=on}}
*The fifth is {{convert|2844|m|mi|1|abbr=on}}
*The total is {{convert|20600|m|mi|3|abbr=on}}
Also, speeds, braking and lateral g-forces are recorded, in total about 33 numbers to judge a cars performance.

The Supertest driver is almost always editor-in-chief [[Horst von Saurma]]. Full sortable list provided online.<ref>http://www.sportauto-online.de/aktuell_U_sport/On-Line/hxcms_article_%20%20502725_14653.hbs</ref>

Sport Auto is a German automobile magazine, established in 1969, published monthly by Motor Presse Stuttgart, based in Stuttgart.

The magazine publishes its "Supertest" of cars, in which the laptime (usually driven by editor-in-chief Horst von Saurma) at the Nordschleife is the most discussed result. The magazine also runs a challenge for the fastest lap time driven with a car that is road legal (TÜV) and registered in Germany. The road legality rule also applies for the tires.

Racing participation

The journalists usually enter VLN and 24 Hours Nürburgring races, in cooperation with Honda or Aston Martin. Results are mixed, they caused at least two crashes.[1]

Since the 1990s, the German magazine sport auto publishes its "Supertest" of cars, in which the lap time at the Nordschleife is the most discussed result. During the industry testing sessions in which sport auto records its "Supertest", the track can not be traveled at full speed past "Tribüne 13" (T13, grandstand 13) in order to allow safe access from the old exit/entrance there. The missing 232 m (761 ft) uphill section, from a slow right hand corner, would take in average an extra 7 s compared to a full lap.

There are 5 sections on the 20,600 m (67,600 ft) long Supertest-Nordschleife:

  • The first is 3,850 m (2.4 mi)
  • The second is 4,235 m (2.6 mi)
  • The third is 4,825 m (3.0 mi)
  • The fourth is 4,846 m (3.0 mi)
  • The fifth is 2,844 m (1.8 mi)
  • The total is 20,600 m (12.800 mi)

Also, speeds, braking and lateral g-forces are recorded, in total about 33 numbers to judge a cars performance.

The Supertest driver is almost always editor-in-chief Horst von Saurma. Full sortable list provided online.[2]
