I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS MUCH MONEY ON TRACK!
AI Summary
The video details an incredible car meet, the Jer Collector track day at the Nürburgring, which featured over 400 super and hypercars, some valued at over £5 million, making it one of the most expensive gatherings of special cars ever. The Nürburgring, known for its full Formula 1 GP circuit, hosted this event, and the narrator was given the opportunity to drive a McLaren P1 to fit in with the "hypercar royalty."
Before hitting the track, a giveaway was announced: a pair of JWWW sunglasses. To enter, viewers need to subscribe, like the video, and comment with their favorite channel memory. The winner will be announced in the next video.
The narrator then describes the experience of following a Mercedes AMG One in a McLaren P1 on the Nürburgring GT circuit. The generosity of the automotive culture at the Nürburgring is highlighted. The convoy was led by the narrator in the P1, directly behind the AMG One, with 300 super and hypercars following. This created a sense of responsibility, as precise car positioning was crucial for the media crew to capture good shots and allow visibility through the lineup. The scale of the convoy, a "big grid of 300 cars," was truly astounding, featuring almost every supercar legend, all being actively driven. The narrator notes that arranging such a convoy would be difficult even in a video game like Forza. A casual Koenigsegg CC850 was also present, a car the narrator had previously driven on the Ghost Squadron tour through the Alps.
Using a football analogy, the narrator likened the experience to sharing a pitch with top sporting greats like Ronaldo, Messi, and Beckham, all on track together. The scene was described as "next-level ludicrous" and "compound crazy," with the need for extreme caution due to the millions of pounds worth of cars in close proximity. The convoy included a Senna GTR, GT2 RS, Manthey Racing cars, and another full-fat RS. The length of the supercar convoy was so extensive that it almost completed a full lap of the 5 km racetrack.
The event wasn't limited to new supercars; spectacular classics were also being driven alongside brand-new models, creating "a slice of automotive history," such as a Carrera GT next to a 917. The narrator also humorously pointed out that while admiring other cars, they were themselves in a McLaren P1, undoubtedly garnering attention from others. The weather was perfect, a "cherry on the cake" for an event that took months of effort and expense to organize.
The experience of the "best, slowest lap" was part of a series aimed at telling the complete story of the Nürburgring's culture. The event felt like a "Martin Brundle style grid walk" due to the crowds, but it was actually a gathering of "passionate diehard petrol heads." The narrator expressed immense enjoyment and gratitude for being part of such a "magic" event.
Following the P1 drive, the narrator shifted focus to identifying cars capable of achieving a sub-7-minute lap at the Nürburgring. The Mercedes Black Series was noted as having an official sub-7 lap time. The Senna, despite its capabilities, has no official time, possibly because its race mode, which creates significant downforce and ground effect, might cause it to "grind out" on the bumpy Nürburgring Nordschleife. This is also suggested as a reason why the Valkyrie hasn't attempted an official time there, as it needs a smoother, flatter circuit. The AMG One was highlighted as the fastest road-legal production car to achieve a sub-7-minute lap. Other sub-7 capable cars mentioned included another Black Series, the previous-gen 991 Gen 2 GT3 RS, and the ABT XGT, an Audi R8 platform car with enhanced aerodynamics and lightweight construction. The narrator expressed interest in seeing if the ABT XGT could achieve a sub-7 lap.
The car culture at the event was described as open and welcoming, with the public allowed onto the grid to get up close with cars they might have only seen on screen, such as an AMG One with its doors open. A casual Ferrari SP3 was also spotted.
After parking the P1, the narrator transitioned to a race car session, hopping into a Bugatti Bolide, an experience detailed in a separate video. The Bolide was described as the fastest accelerating car the narrator had ever experienced, causing uncontrollable laughter due to its "nuts acceleration" that felt "Star Wars-like." The acceleration compresses the chest, and it continuously pulls at the same rate in a straight line, making other race cars appear to be on a cool-down lap even when they were driving hard. The sound was a "deep guttural bass," defined by its "massive, malleable torque." The braking was equally astonishing, with the car coming in at 200 mph before finally breaking. The Bolide was seen as a "swan song" for the engine era, with anticipation for the upcoming V16 hybrid.
The narrator also observed that at such an event, cars like GT3 RSs, which are normally rare and highly sought after, become less "special" due to their abundance. It was mentioned that 52 GT3 RSs were present at the Jerk Collector event. The video concluded with the narrator looking forward to seeing more cars.
