If you’re familiar with onboard laps of the Nürburgring, get ready for something different. In a video reminiscent of racing video games like Need for Speed, Forza, or Gran Turismo, Sport Auto’s Christian Gebhardt puts a real-life twist on cutting corners to optimize lap times and outpace competitors.

Gebhardt, behind the wheel of the Porsche 911 Safari, strayed from the traditional tarmac and purposefully veered onto the nearby grass multiple times. Remarkably, he had the full approval of the Nordschleife management team to engage in this normally prohibited activity on the renowned race track.
