Make that videos. The first video car uses a pattern shifter, and it appears to be a no lift shifter. The second video shows the near instantenous (30ms to 50ms depending on rpm drop) of a XTRAC like no lift sequential shifter.
Hans Stuck in a BMW M3 GTR at the old and the new nurburg / nordschliefe combined, very cool for fans of Nordschliefe. There's a cool shot of the racing slicks. 2 laps at the new Nurburgring GP track. It starts at the bottom of the downhill start finish straight, just before the tight right turn. On the second lap after the chicane near the end of Nurburgring GP, Hans turns left to go onto the Nordschleife track. The end of the Nordschleife track leads back onto the main start / finish straight for the new Nuburgring. I read that total distance is a bit over 17 miles per lap.

Rolf Van Os in a BMW 320 STW (Super Tourer, the top class) with a near instant sequential shifter (similar to XTRAC). Due to a qualifying issue, this very fast car is starting from the back of the pack in a mixed class race. Obviously a lot of passing occurs. This a Dutch Supercar Challenge event. There are virtually no restrictions on the cars except that power to weight ratio determines which class the car is running in. This means ECU and braking type traction control is allowed, along with the incredibly quick sequential shifters. Turn down the sound as the rear end is very whiny.

Maps of the old and new Nurburg. The 14.1 mile version just bypassed the south section by connecting the straight leading into the south section to the straight returning from the south section. You can see the small key hole like uturn connecting the two straights on the map. It was a left turn almost 90 degrees from the old track followed by a near 270 degree right turn back onto the return straight.
