Warning: Lots of inappropriate profanity in the footage above.
For Lars Kern, the man who set the 991 GT2 RS’ record lap at the Nurburgring, this might’ve seemed like a casual jaunt through the forest. Braking early, giving the slower cars a wide berth, and avoiding much curb hopping, he strings together a respectable lap that wouldn’t come close to any of his quickest.
However, the German’s natural pace and intimate understanding of the 12.9-mile course are enough to terrify an Aussie bluesman by the name of Billy Neal. It seems the hardening that comes with years of touring didn’t prepare him for the run ’round the ‘Ring, as he’s clearly on the verge of soiling himself. To be fair, most mortals would sweat a bit when sitting shotgun in a GT3 RS driven by one of the quickest shoes on the ‘Ring.
The flow of profanity isn’t interrupted until the two come upon an oblivious BMW late in the lap.
So, naturally, the expletives fly. Anyone who’s been on a hot lap with a qualified driver knows the emotions are overwhelming—and you can’t expect a musician to keep them bottled up. Even Kern decides to join in the four-letter fun at 6:52 when his lap is hampered by an oblivious driver in an E36. Only at that moment, when the two are forced to slow considerably, does a relaxed Neal say anything that doesn’t sound like it should be bouncing off a stack of shipyard containers.

Best video EVER !!
This IS one very enjoyable video. Thanks!
Too bad cannot share it with my eight year old daughter. She likes the speed and has heard me a time to complaint in the same manner to other fellow drivers but can spare the language a bit longer.
Funny having to shoo the GT3s out of the way - haha. Then of course the usual BMW drivers with attitude to keep one on their toes. I would listen to that flat six howl every day if I could afford the track time! Great video, great driving in traffic!!
LOL. I drive a BMW and yet, completely do agree with your comments. Some eeeediots aren't mean to drive on a road course regardless of the brand of car they have.
I could not stop laughing at Billy, we Aussies are very religious as you can see Billy was praying to God for most of the drive and we attend church every Sunday at a track.
I am still laughing writing this, poor Billy might have had a dry cleaning bill after his passenger lap with Lars just brilliant.
l just watched the clip again and still can not stop laughing, love the sound of the RS at flat chat brilliant.
