Nurburgring July 2010 - pics and video
Discussion
Went with a mixed group of friends this year. Attended in my Mazda MX6 V6 import. At the time it was around 180bhp, 4 wheel steering, uprated brakes and suspension etc. Not stripped out or anything, just used as a fast road car. I'm carrying a 17st passenger and this is my 2nd lap of the day.
Tyres are on my shopping list bigtime, I feel my pressures were too high but grip was ok, just a lot of tyre squeel. The lap was going well, minimal traffic etc but unfortunately I got Pflanzgarten 2 all wrong. I braked before and after the dip but was carrying too much speed. There was a moment when I touch the throttle to power round the corner BUT then I make the mistake of lifting off and she snaps on me.
Not sure if it was the layout of the track or the 4 wheel steering that saved the back end from going round completely, but after that I took it easy to the end.
WARNING : if you watch the video please excuse the colourful language from my passenger, he gets somewhat "excitied" shall we say.
heres my lap, enjoy
