A video game cant give you any impression of gradient... From the Carousel to the High Hut is a long steep climb. The dynamics in most games seem to be greatly flawed too: with gradient and camber not being factored in.

Achim (the local plumber) mini is indeed a blue and it does indeed have a V tech in it.


I have helped Mike Rainbird on the grass before. He broke down on the way to Hohe Acht once and I called it in for him as he didn't have the office number in his phone.

I also had a fun lap chasing his 9 billion horse power cossie in my 205. He passed me around Hohe Acht and I repassed him on the exit of mini karoussel. Fun lap that was

When you hit the real track, you will be amazed at how steep some of the gradients around Hohe Acht are and the dive down further along Wipperman, it can be quite stomach churning LOL
