cool videos...
by the way: If you've never raced you really need to watch the first of the two videos.
Onboard-Video practise lap GP track and Nordschleife
The driver:
1) knows the track!!! - when a drivers has the pedal nailed to the floor coming over the crest of a blind hill - he evidently knows the track.
2) whoever is driving in this video is a really good driver - he was agressive but controlled. It's a practice session and he lets the guy by in the white car on the sweeping right hand turn in traffic.
3) The driver is really good on the brakes and he knows how to carry speed into the corner. He was evidently down on power from lots of other cars but used moemtum into corners to get by them.
4) it's a shame he got stuck behind that red car with "street tags" because that driver was clueless when it comes to track etiquette. The guy in the red car had plenty of room to this right to let the white car by, but the guy in the white car had to bust his but to squeeze in between him and that other car after they hit the straight.
5) I love it when he stuffs the guy in the red porsche on the left hand turn - classic maneuver.
and finally - I know the name of the track he was on,
Do you - I'll give you 5 bonus points if you can tell me the name of the track.

The Nürburgring, beautifully layed out in the Eifel mountains in Germany, was in reality made up out of two different tracks, the Nordschleife and the Südschleife (the North- and Southtrail) linked together by a third, the Start- und Zielschleife. Today only the Nordschleife remains, the Süd- and Start/Ziel giving way to the new track built in 1982-83.
Combining the 22.8 km of the Nordschleife with the 7.4 km of Südschleife and the 2.2 km of the Start-und-Ziel gave a total lap of 28.3 km. This was used for Grand Prix for the first three years, but from 1931 only the Nordschleife was used.
The Nordschleife. At over 22 km, a crueling lap with more than 170 bends. A difference in altitude of 300 meters, and at places an angle of inclination up to 11 %.
Once described by Jackie Stewart like this:
'The Nürburgring was bad enough at just over 14 miles to a lap, it was leaping and jumping, taking off and flying a long way some 13 times per lap. You went to the 'Ring' with a car stacked up with bump rubbers to stop it grinding itself to nothing by bottoming out.'

Boy did that look like fun (both of them)
I was thinking the same thing about that car driver. He can really drive that car! First thing I noticed was the amount of speed he carried into (and out of) the corners. BTW, did you notice the specs on the cart? 0-62 in under 3 seconds! :shocked: Unless you are used to a pretty quick bike that is blazing fast.
