To each their own.
The times a car clicks off on that track will not sell me on a particular car.

I fully understand your point, it is a test track. But not real world conditions that the car would see daily.

of course not, it's a handling test, no more no less.

watch the drifting at 6:20....i dont see how he only reached a top speed of 175 on that long stretch? maybe the bumps in the road would make him go airborne

yes, bumpy, also the "döttinger höhe" (name of that stretch) goes uphill and the peak from where it goes downhill again is also the left curve on the end of that straight. the car gets really light there (and in a couple of other places on that track too). so too fast = airborne out of that curve.
