First sub 5 lap around Nordschelife in AC Evo?

Image/Video

I did some quick searches but didn't find anyone that has claimed to do a sub 5 minute lap around the Nordschelife.

So, I wanted to be the first. Did some laps and managed a 4:58 in the F2004. It was not pretty, and it was pretty far from the limit. But my only goal tonight was sub 5.

So far my impression on the other tracks has been that the F2004 in Evo is a bit slower than the one in AC1, mainly due to the aero seemingly not beeing as efficient. Honeslty I think this is a good change, as the old one was way too fast IMO.

However, around the Nordchleife I think the new version is quite a bit better. I think this is mainly due to how well it handles the bumps and kerbs (too well?), and the fact there are so many fast corners and straights that you dont need THAT much downforce as long as the top speed is good. And the possible loss of downforce was negated by the how well it ate the bumps I think.
