Hi All,
I have a low quallity( because of size, was 100meg) lap of the Nurburg Ring hosted for me by a friend
Right click, save as (41mb)

This isn't ground breaking lap times. about 10 mins I think But was a Rookie's very first Lap and with one slight off shows how easlily mistakes can be made there

My Mate/Cameraman/Navigator memory is worse than mine and called quite a few wrong corners Maybe he thought it would be more interesting for the 'Youve been Framed' LOL

Lol@ the navigator...." this one is ninety degrees this way <points>"...."now this one is ninety this way <points>

I doubt he'll be headhunted for the WRC drivers anyway

Wish I'd recorded some of my laps there, I'd love to watch them again.

I don't think Colin Mcrae would have been to impressed, think he'd ask for N.Grist back LOL

I wish I had the my last couple of laps they were a far more confidently done but still not ashamed of my maiden Lap

very funny in places tony. A good lesson in drive what you see until you know the place, not what someone who hasnt a clue tells you to do. LOL

John,
It was only my first lap and nice to see how not to do a lap video, instead of the normal perferct laps I tried to restricted the adrienoline(SP!)and speeds by using 1 gear lower than estimated and by taking the slow, cutting corner line, excuses over

Ah, the high's and lows just as I started to build up some confidenence, when a slight off, a few bad called,missed,lost corners but higher speeds it could have been worse

I later did all my laps driving what i could see without any "Help" and followed a Porker(cerrara not a turbo) for 2 laps helped find the turn in and out pionts 8 laps or so later was driving with some degree of confidence

Hi all, i did two days there this week in a R32 with RMA,

absolutely fantastic experience and staying in the dorint made even more special!!

i was there with 2 ex porsche cup racers...one was intructing on the day, made alot of sense going out with someone that REALLY REALLY new the circuit.

on my own i felt confident to after the Karausell but upto wipperman and after i wasnt sure, over the blind crests etc i thought rather than be a hero id take it easier.

we were told in briefing NO offs!!

cant wait to go again!!!

Lee
