Nurburgring?

I dont have anything against racing electric cars. I think the endeavour to create a mechanical dolphin is most noble. Its still about pushing the limits.

And yet I find the world where the lion tamer cannot step into the cage, the monkey cannot bite your finger off through the bars and you cannot miss a gear heading out of a corner somehow less worth living than the world of my childhood. Yes the smells too.

Maybe the bears are going to miss riding the motorcycle around the arena. Lions born in captivity would be cargo cultists if set free. Push a button to overtake. Sad.

So the batteries last for a whole lap of the Nurburgring. Good.

I've logged thousands of laps around Nurburgring in various PC racing simulators over the years, from rFactor to Assetto Corsa, and even if I turn on the arcade mode, I can't begin to touch this lap time. Amazing!!

Perhaps I should've put this in the description... but Sabine Schmitz is (was?) a professional racing driver who has won the 24 hours Nürburgring endurance race twice (1996, 1997) and has completed more than 20,000 laps of the Norschleife (increasing at 1200 per year) in her occupation as "the fastest taxi driver in the world" (providing hot laps around the Norschleife). She also has a career as a tv presenter.

Ron Simons was also a racer in the 90s - http://www.gtspirit.com/2011/05/18/interview-ron-simons-rsr-nurburg-the-nurburgring/

Although it is a formula race car, it's not formula 1. It's actually a Formula BMW race car used at the Nurburgring (Nürburgring Formel Super Racing). Here are the specs from the website:

Formula BMW
Engine: 4 cylinder, 1,200 cc
Maximum rev: 8,200 rpm /
Chassis: Carbon monocoque
Power: 103 kW, 140 hp
Weight: 465 kg
Transmission: Hewland sequential 6-speed

Still, a very cool video.

>> ^rottenseed:

Is this the Nurburgring?


Brands Hatch I believe.

Is this the Nurburgring?

The first three minutes didn't look anything like the nurburgring... weird.

>> ^Throbbin:
Great vid.
I can't help but think many of those corners looked familiar, from Gran Turismo or some similar game.


Yup, it is called Nurburgring in the Gran Turismo games.
