Thumbs up
I am sure its Eiskurve in reverse.

In case I got the name wrong I believe its the left turn that goes uphill after the 2 rights at Brunchen.

If you look closely there is a sign displaying corner 166 but facing the opposite way of the direction the cars are travelling.

....and nobody ever lost it in a Scooby did they?

I don't think you can read too much into one example of someone getting it wrong.....

i would love a go at the ring backwards, it would be nuts in some places. Entering the Karousel would be very entertaining.

Going doing from BBQ corner to Ex-Mühle might be entertaining as well Or Fuchsrohre into Aremberg... In fact, on reflection is must be daunting in most places.
