The Nurburging is very demanding track. It encompasses aspects of almost all other tracks that exist. It does not necessarily favor any one individual aspect of a vehicle, such as only high horsepower, or quick acceleration, or good braking, or top speed, or traction, or good low or high speed handling. A vehicle must have a well balanced overall performance package to do well at the Nurburgring. The track is not necessarily smooth, and, therefore, it is challenging in that regard for both the car and the driver. The chances are that if a vehicle does well at the Nurburgring, it will do well just about anywhere. That does not mean that vehicle lap time orders at the Nurburgring will be identical to vehicle lap time orders at all other tracks because some tracks are designed to maximize top speed, while some are designed for good acceleration, and others for handling, etc. However, if a vehicle posts a good Nurburgring time, it indicates that the car is a well balanced high performance vehicle.

To me it's the Nurburgring lap time as it represents the type of performance that I can use more often in my driving pursuits.

That's a very good value. It will be interesting to see how well it performs.
