Note that this is a Sport Auto lap, not a full lap.

That is a negative. This is 1 FULL LAP of the Nurburgring Nordschleife. When vehicles are tested at Nurburgring they do not mate together the GP and Nordschleife together. The tracks are mated for the endurance races, not for testing.
Also, Sport Auto is not the group doing this hot lap. BMW is doing this one specifically. It would have said so on the video at the beginning if it was Sport Auto and as of lately they have been doing those hot laps on the Hockenheim Kleiner Kurs. Wonder how the got around the speed ban on Dottinger Hohe........

Elsabor67 is correct. This lap is on the entire Nordschleife. It does not include running on the Grand Prix section - just about no one runs the two courses together for "lap time" sake. Everyone runs the 'Ring Nordschleife course - which is what is shown in this video. Elsabor67 quite interesting about the Dottinger Hohe speed limits. Maybe this video/lap was filmed before that happened this summer. ? Dackel

Sport Auto lap has never been the combination of the GP track and the Nordschleife. It's almost the entire track, but without that little piece of tarmac that you point out. |

But the speed limit was eventually lifted during manufacturer days at the Ring. The ring is then only open to the manufacturers. |

The term "Sport Auto lap" is explained in other posts above. The M4 GTS lap is definitely a "Sport Auto lap", driven by BMW test driver and for BMW |

What happens after they mate the tracks? Do they have babies?
