i think that the passenger must had shit his pants like 2-3 times i can see his hand holding the hand door praying for everything to go ok

Driver seems a bit tense! Looked like he was gonna burst a blood vessel gripping the steering wheel like that. And why did he have the DSG in full auto? Boring!!!

driver is shit... holding the steering wheel far too tight and hands aren't far enough apart.
also looks like he hasn't got tyhe best seating setup... shouldn't be allowed a roc R, i think he should give it to me lol

At least he is out there on track doing it, easy to take a shot when you haven't been out there

i'd probably be packing spare underwear for when I venture

Yeah fair play to the guy, he seems to be giving it all *he's* got.

I'm going in August -I think I'll spend most of the time being overtaken...

I think he's done really well - he's clearly not a professional driver and he's just turned up for the Tourist laps (Touristenfahrten) a 9:05 time is very good. I been a few times now and it is one of the best things you can do if you are a petrolhead. It's bl00dy mental - you can be approaching a blind corner at 100 mph then see a coach or a van or a campervan or worse someone hit the armco.

If you're planning a trip have a look at ben lovejoys site tells you everything you need to know. http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as well as http://www.nuerburgring.de/en/nuerburgr ... rdschleife" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (to make sure the track is open for when you're going sounds obvious but some people have made the trip when it's closed). Worth practicing on Forza 3 or Gran Turismo just to know the track layout and maybe watch a few laps on You Tube.

Don't bother with a stopwatch.Be prepared for the track to keep closing / reopening due to accidents. Consider road legal track tyres Mich Sport Cups / Toyo 888s / Pirelli Trofeo / Yokohama A048s. And take it steady!
