Notes:
- This was my 1st lap ever of the Nurburgring
- We had not planned to go to the track on that day but we kinda did, as a consequence, the car was not really prepared -- Windshield was obviously very dirty after 700km of Autobahn from Rostock and, the worse, the tire pressure was still over-inflated to suit highway specs and led to the car understeering a lot, poor general grip, and quite a fair bit of tire screeching.
- At 1:58, through the jump ~180km/h and again same speed at the bottom of the hill at 3:03
- Slow rental Suzuki Swift at 4:15, all over the track, holding me and cutting me off on the corner at 4:53 -- add to slam the brake and lock the wheels to avoid hitting him!
- Toyota Avensis at 6:20. Hope you guys are seeing this! :) We met at the gas station later on and there was a brief chat about my "fly-by" on the chase of the Shelby ;)
- At 7:19 you can listen to my logging software on the phone crash with a loud and disappointing "beep!" while failing to record anything of that lap :)
- At 7:57 quite heavy understeer and some active correction to bring it back -- more of that at 8:20...
- At 9:37 you listen to me pissed with myself for totally messing the line for the mini-Carroussel and falling out of it. :)
If you have video footage of my car, please let me know! :)
