Nice clip.

That Nuerburgring is a nice track too.
Wish we had a track around here that would allow the public on it. It would be fun I'm sure

That is a sweet vid.

I don't know if you play GT4 or not, but they have a very accurate (with even the writing on the track that you see in that vid) version of the Ring on there. It is cool to take different cars around and see what kind of times you can get. I hope to drive the real thing someday and feel the Gs.

When you watch it, check out the speedo as it passes 80 mph... have you ever seen a car accelerate that quick? The speed the guy was catching up was unreal. Even the motorbicyclist never saw him coming, and those guys are the safest people on the road (or so they would have you beleive)

Nice video, Toff I'll do Nurburgring probably next year after I bolt on my PES s/c. and suspension upgrade. As you saw Nurburgring is very curvy and its a must to have decent suspension out there. We have 3 skylines on Base and they're all right hand drive, and those guys do nurburgring nearly every weekend when the weather permits. Normally on a nice sunny day Nurburgring is so packed its hazardous, but its worth the experience to do a lap or two. Awesome video.
