Video of me doing a lap around the nurburgring. Sorry about the beginning, but a marshall had passed us, and about the shakey video, the passenger had nothing to rest it on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKScKjrznDM

I've been to a few autocrosses just for fun(think backwoods just for fun type of thing), and all of the "serious" guys come across just like this guy. They all think their loving Neon or old decrepit TVR or rusty Celica is the BEST drat CAR IN THE WORLD. They can't even enjoy the sport because they spend so much time bullshitting about how they missed that apex and how an extra 2 horsepower would give them the win. If you ever want to really piss this type off, just go to an autocross and slide your car around a bit in the turns. Tire smoke will make them plot to murder you because IT'S NOT THE FASTEST WAY AROUND THE TRACK, LET ME SHOW YOU HOW IT'S DONE IN MY MG! HOLD ON, I HAVE TO ADD OIL TO IT AND PUSH START IT!

My bad, it was turbocharged...but then he swapped in a V6 for no discernible gain in power.

Remember the thread about that 57 Plymouth time capsule gone wrong? I found an update on the preservation effort - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNPx8jKX1fA Looks surprisingly good, but check out how weak the trunk lid looks when he lifts it.

I spin mah tire (and the drat camera!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOYTyI-VM34 The tire spin is pretty standard, The more interesting part is that Im rolling up a fairly steep incline in second gear idling, I never touched the gas pedal until the tires hit pavement.

It is a bit strange if there isn't a ban on videotaping when you are driving on a normal road. I was under the impression that the 'ring was classed as a standard road in Germany had the same rules. So what job do the marshalls have? Just checking out people aren't speeding and aren't videotaping? Interesting. edit: I just found out why stopwatches and timing are looked down upon (if it wasn't obvious enough) at the 'ring WIKIPEDIA posted:Drivers interested in lap times (a dangerous thing to worry about, as running stop watches are frequently found in crashed vehicles) often time themselves from the first bridge after the barriers to the last gantry before the exit. In the event of an accident, the local police are known to make note of any timing devices present (stopwatches, etc.) in the police report. Consequently, the driver's insurance coverage may be voided leaving the driver fully liable for any and all damage. Normal, non-racing, non-timed driving accidents should be covered by driver's insurance, but it is increasingly common for UK insurers especially to put in exclusion clauses that mean drivers and riders have third-party cover only. Accidents are common, though, and those considering driving around the Nordschleife should read the rules that apply, as well as the "do's" and "don'ts". The 'ring has caught many people out. There is very little run-off and the armco barrier will be hit at almost any speed, should a vehicle leave the tarmac. Sorry for the off topic, but this page has piqued my interest. lilbeefer fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Jul 20, 2008 |
