What's the point of having your own Nürburgring website if you can't put footage like this on the front page. BTG member AGTLaw took this footage over the weekend. I was 'testing' the fleet of Alfa 75s. This particular car is available to rent from just €200 a session. Rear-wheel-drive is goooood.
This set of photos is a good excuse for all you track junkies to go out and spend a bit of quality time with your alloy wheels. Polish them, caress them. Ensure that they are happy. And if they're showing any signs of fatigue... BIN THEM!
Genuine Ronal alloy wheel left the car and bounced 200metres down the track!
Without any further ado, here it is. The new mass production supercar King of the Ring - the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
Nice gloves.
I hate that whole 'holding the wheel whereever it lands' thing. Quarter to three or die!
He almost HAS to hold the wheel like my grandad, as the rack is soooo long.
That is bastard fast! 171mph into SX?
Tidier driving could yield more than a few seconds... no speed into Wipperman and just floating through the centre of the track all the way from Eschbach to Eiskurve with no apexes. As for Schwalbenschwanz... ouch.
Because he turns in early at two of the key corners and is forced to feather the throttle until he's almost exited (Hocheichen and Bergwerk) he loses lots of time on the following flat-out sections (QH-FP-SX and Kesselchen run, respectively).
The lure of the Nürburgring Nordschleife is almost universal, it would appear. Not only does it transcend social and geographical boundries, but even policeman are enjoying it.
Doesn't look much like a cop car, right?
Last weekend there was an amusing incident involving an undercover, overtaken, BMW Touring and a bright yellow, overtaking, BMW M3. After punting the hapless M3 into the barriers by moving left without checking his mirrors, the Polizei 'advanced driving candidate' was rather shamefaced.
