Watch my brother take my 2018 Ford S-Max 2.0 TDCi around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than 10 minutes. He knows this track very well but isn't used to a big heavy car like this. Still he managed to get it around in a very respectable 9 min 57sec and you can easily see that he gets more and more confident with the car throughout the lap. So I think he could do even better next time...
The car is all standard, with standard brakes and standard suspension. Being a ST-Line model it is lowered 10 mm. from factory and this thing handles really well. It has tons of grip and it's just unbelievable fun for a car this type. Ford really knows how to make a car "Fun to drive”.
Before this lap I did 5 laps myself, but the brakes never showed any signs of fading or shaking, and it’s all stock. Very impressive for a car with a curb weight of 1850 kg + 4 adults and a lot of crap in the boot.
I apologize for all the noises of things moving around in this video, but it wasn’t really prepared for track use 🤣
The chassis could easily have managed a lot more power than the 180 BHP and 400 NM brings to the table, and it struggles a lot up the hill from Bergwerk, but as a daily driver with the possibility of carrying 7 people or half of the local IKEA, while still being extremely comfortable and good on fuel economy, it's impossible to beat 🏁

This video contains chapters according to the named corners at the Nürburgring, so it might be helpfull for people who wants to learn the track a bit better - ads my brother is also an excellent instructor.
We are speaking danish in this video, but English subtitles are available.
Have fun!
REMEMBER: The Nordschleife is a closed circuit with local regulations. You should never drive like this in real traffic.
