Title: The most insane lap of Nurburgring you'll see!
Post by: Canada Darrell™ on July 31, 2011, 03:13:37 AM

This guy....what can I say? There's plain balls, brass balls and then there's the grapefruits this dude is packing.  :o

Nurburgring - check
Open Wheel Race Car - check
SOAKING WET TRACK! - check

Watch his hands through most corners! He's even doing this lap without paddle shifters!

 I-N-S-A-N-E!!!!!!!

As Mr. Clarkson of Top Gear fame would say on national TV, and get himself in trouble for saying so, "That was getting the tail out easier than George Michael".

At some stages during the lap it looked like he was steering an ice racer.  8)

As you say CD, balls like grapefruits, but what a driver.  :good:

Had another look about and came up with this video too. Same car and driver only a drying track (soaking in places) and slicks. This guy can drive, the speeds at the end of the lap are insane!

Who'd go round the 'Ring' in an open wheel two-seater with him ?

I'll be the first.....No flaming chance.

This video appears to be one lap of the old Nordschleife.
What a blast that would be to drive.
No chance I could beat this guy but what fun trying.

WOW! He was really drifting and wrestling that car in a few places. No doubt why he's the Chief Instructor at the Driving Academy there!  :good:
