Some newbies overdriving their cars well beyond their means.
These are scary so don't watch if you're easily shocked. Welcome to play your own chosen vids. |

i don't think any of those are newbies who would drive a 5/10s and miss the corner at Adenauer Forst
these guys have gone around a few times and pushed it to 8/10s and found out why it's called the Green Hell |

From my understanding, when you push it to 8/10ths and beyond, every straight, every corner, each of them has their unique nuances of you can call it that, either a bump (I think one part has a tree root growing under it), a compression, off camber, something small that will throw off the weight balance or unweight the rear or a slippery patch, that you will find out when you push.
So the pros memorise each and every part of the track by their 1000th lap. Though some cars will be more stable than others. The Albon lap in the 991? GT3 RS that car looked so stable regardless of what was thrown at it |

New season has started at the GH.
Enjoy. @ 2:38 I thought M2's were good on cornering. |

Auto Addiction was banned by Nürburgring GmbH. Ban got lifted, after talks they got a media license but must observe to refrain from broadcasting "Touristenfahrten" crashes and drifts.

Attachment 3415970 Auto Addiction was banned by Nürburgring GmbH. Ban got lifted, after talks they got a media license but must observe to refrain from broadcasting "Touristenfahrten" crashes and drifts. ------------ It's good news that they are back and as they say they can film in front of the safety barriers which will make for better footage albeit it with no crash footage allowed because of the 'Ring committee stipulation for media videoers. |

I know this has been posted before somewhere and R.Kubica shows here what it takes to do a quick lap in an M car, this one being an M4 in his hands with uprated gas suspension with KW springs, stripped out interior with roll cage, race seats, Pro Track wheels with semi slick tyres.
The key I believe at these speeds is having a vertically mounted GT3 type rear spoiler to counter the over steer leading to a spin seen so often on many RWD cars at the track. Last edited by M5Rick; 03-23-2024 at 02:36 PM.. |

This piece shows what components wear the most and need replacing after a certain amount of quick laps should you take your M on the 'Ring regularly with particular care needed with wheel bearings and b/pads.
*To save me adding extra posts I'll add it's nice to know that the 'Ring is in the preferred clockwise direction for first time Brits wanting to try out their cars there, just like the ones in England. Last edited by M5Rick; 03-25-2024 at 10:24 AM.. |

Apex used to have a GTS front lip (my friend broke it, while also dropping oil on 4km of track and destroying the engine!). With the front lip, the rear spoiler is more important and would be set for more downforce. Single biggest difference are the tyres, followed by pads and suspension. That car was way to fast to hire out to the public. Even their M2 was crazy fast.

This M4 ran track-spec endless pads which dont fade in this use.

Oh hey, guys… Great TF night. A bit moist the first few klicks, but perfect after that.
Love this place! |
