Hi guys, I just wanted to share my Nordschleife run last week.
I think with a little more practice (it was my first day on the Nordschleife) and an empty trunk without tools and Luggage (spare wheel alone weighs 14 Kgs) I might be able to go sub 9:00

Thank you for the ride, Uli! One of the better ones I have seen. I have done a fair amount of laps down there and the videos never show how steep the track is. By the way, your tires start to scream, almost before entering the curves :D
Good driving, that looked spectacular
Dave
phantastic time...happy engine reving fine....true daredevil you are....respect & chapeau.....
Balls to the wall in the whispering bomb
Very smooth and excellent signaling to faster traffic. A great tutorial!
fantastic. Did the luggage contribute to some of those magnificent slides?
Bravo uai !!! ... :)
Bravo 1600 fishbowl !!! ... ;)
Yes there was some confusion during the day with (potentially) faster cars (like e36 M3 or Mini John Cooper Works) behind me that didn't want to overtake but rather look at my tail.Quote:

I think I'll keep that setting even for dry usage it isn't as spectacular but really fast.
Normally I have a stiffer rear swaybar setting making the car a bit more drifty for normal usage - on the track with less it's a bit faster and safer.
I don’t know if I’ll ever get to drive the Ring but I plan to use your video as a tutorial!Quote:

and for the wet line this here is my favourite, but it's german (however I just watched the first half to get the scheme)

What really would help if you had access to a playstation or similar or someone driving in front of you who knows what he's doing
^^^^^ thanks for the advice!
playstation 5, grand tourismo 7, playseat or else, some decent wheel and pedals…->fanatec.com
just to get to learn the ring and else tracks…..
Very cool lap! I was there a few years ago but didn't dare to do a lap. Maybe someday with a more suitable car... and preferably someone in front who knows what he (or she) is doing. :)
good driving Uli :D
what tires are you using, trackday tires?
Thanks Ben.Quote:

I like them because you can mistreat them and they can take a beating.
I've had some understeer issues with my front axle in the past that are now fixed with a changed geometry.
So I've really used up a lot of front tire outer shoulder and they could cope better than others I've tried.
Another thing I like is that they squeal before they let go. And they're still affordable and available in my size 185/60-14
I have A052 on one car and is happy with them, but I can't hear mine squealing :)
did a little squealing on thursday - the new springs/dampers are 20 sec worth

Well done, having driven at the ring with my old 911 I think you really did a great run!
