While it may not have the outright fastest production car lap record, it wouldn’t be wrong to call the Nissan GT-R the king of the Nurburgring. Ever since the R35 generation GT-R was unveiled in 2007 and soon hit the ‘Ring, it has consistently been one of the fastest production cars to lap the famous facility.

This all culminated last year when the Nissan GT-R Nismo managed to put in an incredible 7 minute and 8 second lap time. Of course, credit for this epic time has to go to the engineers that created the GT-R Nismo as well as this man; Hiroyoshi Kato. He helped setup the GT-R Nismo for the perfect Nurburgring lap and in the video above, you’ll be able to see just what makes this man tick!
