My second video in the RX8 - Nürburgring Nordschleife!
I nearly crashed three times on this lap. Driving the Nordschleife in winter can be tricky! It was also my last lap of the year, you'll be glad to know , as I've left the ring for my winter break.
Overall I'm still happy with my choice - but the acceleration is waaay behind my old turbo MX5. And even with the usual mods I'm not sure it's going to get much better...

It gets scary in little to no time when it rains, when it's dry and you know the track there are just three sectors that can be dangerous and\or tricky.
Don't be too quick to blame the rx8 anyway, it appears that you could shave off 30 secs just with a "driver" mod. I'm not bashing your driving skills, just making a suggestion!
I travel to the 'ring yearly. If you need any advice about car set-up and little tips and tricks just lmk It's easy to lose time with bad mods and with the long uphills a driving mistake can cost you 3\4 secs with our little power. 1 here and 1 there...
If you want to attend good events i can introduce you to some very good guys, the doettinger hoehe is amazing when open

Hi mate, I live and work here at the Nurburgring. I'm an instructor here - the tyres are terrible and every dark patch is wet - that's why I spent so much time on opposite lock

I have also just realized the temperatures you have there now, I understand the lines you took
What's your best time on a complete lap?
Needless to say... i'll pm you the next time i'm up there!

Great video! I think with a rear end swap, and some sticky rubber you would be quite pleased. I'd love to take my car out to the Nordschliefe!

LOL... sorry bse50
Best time on video is actually on my old bike. I'll put it below. Best time in a car is actually identical but no video, no proof. It was a Nissan GTR though, so it doesn't really count as a challenge
Sorry for two topics, will try and keep stuff together. Not used to massive forums with so many new topics per day!
Anyway, a proper quick lap:
And this was my last car - a turbocharged 1990 MX5 1.6:
