"The speed limits are in place in areas where cars have the potential of becoming airborne, including 124-mph limits at the track's Flugplatz, Antoniusbuche, and Schwedenkreuz sections. In addition, there is a 155-mph limit on the main straight where other cars are entering and exiting.

With those restrictions in place, track officials have effectively hit pause on the race to post ever-faster Nürburgring lap times. Cars like the upcoming Ford GT, Acura NSX, and even the mighty Koenigsegg One:1 will remain without a ‘Ring time to brag about for the foreseeable future."
