Course records at the BILSTER BERG
Since the opening of the BILSTER BERG in 2013, a wide variety of vehicles have driven around the track. Even though the BILSTER BERG is not a race track in the classic sense, but more of a test and presentation track, various track records have nevertheless been set and documented here.
Here are the fastest laps by vehicle category:

The fastest lap ever at the BILSTER BERG is held by an electric car. In September 2020, Dieter Depping in the VW’s ID.R beat the previous best time by more than 10 seconds. The 680 hp electric race car accelerated from 0 to 100km/h in under 2 seconds and reached a top speed of 270km/h. Thus, it holds the absolute track record at the BILSTER BERG with 1:24.206 minutes. The ID.R also holds three other international track records: in Great Britain at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, in China on the Big Gate Road at Tianmen Mountain and on the Nordschleife.
The closest rival to the e-racer is a BMW M6 GT3, which set the lap record for all internal combustion engines at the BILSTER BERG during Walkenhorst Motorsport’s test day on June 10, 2020. British racing driver David Pittard circumnavigated the 4.2 km in just 1:35.509 minutes in the BMW M6 GT3 – a record for vehicles under GT3 regulations!
