In connection to my previous post, that shows how NOT to drive on the Nordschleife - https://steemit.com/racing/@beatminister/instructional-video-kind-of-how-to-trash-your-car-or-bike-fast-and-efficiently -
now a video showing Kenny Brack, Indianapolis winner and IndyCar champion, driving a McLaren P1 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. And he does it in 6 minutes 43 seconds - which is absolutely amazing. Anything under 7 minutes is, really.
I have tried it again and again with all kinds of cars, using the ProjectCars simulation. And either I make a terrible time (10 minutes plus) or I end up in a wall, like the guys in the first video.
The problem is, I just cannot memorize the track, because its so long. On other race tracks (the usual 4 - 6 km tracks) it takes me 5 - 6 laps to learn where the turns are, but the Nordschleife has really beaten me.
So watch how its done properly in this video:
