I thought you guys might like this, this is just one lap by the way:

Holy crap!!! watched that twice, my heart was racing more the second time. Gotta love that gear whine!

 

Wow. Talk about having balls. Crazy how he zooms past the other cars on the track...

 

Damn.. the way he overtook those slower cars... I got scared ****less.. and I'm just watching a video...

Is this the new m3 gtr they are sending to alms?

 

Great video, thanks for sharing it. You can really see how dangerous it is for eveyone out there. The slower cars are in real danger of being taken out from behind and the faster cars are in danger of collecting a slower car after coming out of a blind corner. Does anyone know what his time was?

awesome video

love the noises as well

 

7 min 05 sec I believe.

 

No that video is a couple of years old.

 

I believe this was not a normal 'open day'. After watching the first few moments I was about to call FOUL, because it actually starts off on the Sudschleife. IMO it was a some track event, where everyone would rather be aware of the dangers implied.


Edit - as for the video itself though, amazing Actually going to keep it on my hard drive which rarely happens now in the era of youtube.

 

Believe it or not they have regular open track days in which anyone can bring ANY car that they want. It's something like $12 a lap. Is this one of the most amazing tracks on the planet or what? As an aside they have all sorts of crazy (fatal) accidents at "the Ring". Faster cars coming up on slower cars, idiots who just don't know what they are doing...it still looks like a blast though.

 

If thats a 7:05, I wanna see what a 5 minute run in an F1 car looks like. I'm still livid that BMW Sauber didn't do a high speed run when they were there last year.

 

amazing...he seems fearless..

 

2nd carrousel was awesome

 

oh no actually it's more like 40$ per round now...

that's Nuerburgring GP not sudschleife. and if i'm not confusing something it's nuebugring VLN configuration

 

Really? I had a friend go not to long ago and he said he paid $12 per, maybe it was a special deal. Still I would drop $40 per lap no problem.

 

True. The Südschleife has been abandoned in the 80s, part of it now serves as access roads to the parkings and campgrounds, the rest is back roads through the forest.

 

A few years ago it was $15 Euros a lap, now I think it's $38 a lap.

 

So for a half day of racing you would spend a couple hundred buck plus fuel, wear and gear. Most regular people wouldn't be able to do that very often.

 

I believe the suspension would have to be modified quite a bit, reducing the car in it's capabilities to corner and put down power. Still, I would watch.

 

hj stuucky!!!! simply put...the man!!!!!

i have seen the video before but i am glad you posted it. it starts off ok...but man does he pile on the speed as it get to the fast stuff. he has been my favorite driver since his f-2 days and he remains.

thanks for posting.

Holly crap that's fast!!! Makes my track days feel like a toddler learning to walk. How does he memorize all 350 turns???

 

Have you seen this video of Nurburgring in 1970's? They did not even require seatbelts.

Chris,

MAN! That was a "tricky corner!" I'm surprised the toll wasn't worse! The VW Beetles, really had a hard time of it. The NSU's weren't too bad considering the little wheel and tire design, on those cars. I think the term oversteer, is defined in this video.
