That was close!...anyone from here?
I reeled f1_fan in by mentioning AMG etc and now he's claiming that he's reeling us in.

I've mentioned the marshalling but the old car (what ever it was) slowing down as if he was on the m1 in holiday traffic is madness, the first thing you need to do in a situation like that either on track or the M1 is get in your rear view mirror, not just stop in the middle of a race track.
But having said that, you have to adapt your driving to the environment and the ring has all sorts.

It is NOT a RACE TRACK.

Not entirely true. In between Practice Week and Race Week, they make the mountain road one way traffic only, from Ramsay to Douglas, open to the general public, but also allowing us hooligans to race around, while still obeying general road rules and road markings, ie. no overtaking on solid white line etc.

Pure luck that the black one didn't clout the armco/anyone else. Plenty of luck for the blue car as well, it wasn't by skill that he found some grip at the last minute.
The guys may be decent enough drivers in decent cars but if you treat the 'ring like a BTCC race then it's only a matter of time.

Couldn't agree more.

Come on, I´m there quite often and I´m always speeding ;-))
It is always a risk to drive over the nordschleife because of yourself
and others.
I drive on trackdays and normal tourist turns and you see quite alot.
They had fun and were lucky. That´s the risk you take driving on the ring and of course you should accept that.
I enjoyed the Videos because nothing happend.
Life is hard enough, enjoy it
