German Nick Heidfeld will be doing the driving in the event, scheduled for 28th April.
Heidfeld's run around the 22-km track will be the highlight of a full day in the Eifel mountains with the BMW Motorsport racing arsenal.
"This day is our way of saying thank-you to the fans for their support," said BMW boss Mario Theissen. "BMW is a longstanding partner of the Nurburgring.
Should be a sight to see. =]nowhere fast.

And that's what BMW are all about-racing! Finding a challenge, just for the hell of it (and a bit of PR )
Should be one hell of a day! Interesting to see the time too...

Wow! I have seen so many in-car footages of Nordschleife, but I can never imagine a modern F1 car tackling that place. It is going to be fantstic, even if he takes it easy (he should, that place has killed many of the world's best drivers in far slower cars).
Looking forward to the day when I drive there myself.Iceman: Adjective 1)Rapid, swift 2)Nickname of Kimi-Matias Räikkönen, a legendary Formula 1 driver

think it's around the 6:50 mark with the late Stefan Bellof in a porsche 962 in qualifying for the sports car race there in either 84 or 85.
he's the only man to average more than 200km/h there.the wise man does at once what the fool does finally - macchiavelli
