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. ?
