Anyone raced around the Nurburgring before?

[Doc Lynam]

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Yes ........ but only on the Playstation

 

[severnside gull]

I've driven round the Melbourne GP circuit.

In fairness it's a road in the park for 51 weeks of the year and accessible to everyone at a sedate 30mph

 

[Doc Lynam]

Did the same in Monaco somehow lost its magic at 30kmh!

 

[Machiavelli]

Yes. It was about 40 years ago though, and my dad was driving.

 

[grubbyhands]

I bloody nearly fell off my chair watching that. He is one skilled motorcyclist. I've been riding sports bikes for 40 years and wouldn't get within a mile of him.A racer perhaps?

 

[Wellesley]

I have, I was well knackered when I finished. I nearly got run over a dozen times too. The people there drive like maniacs.

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

I'm guessing that wasn't his first time around that circuit. He looked very neat and tidy going round there.

 

[Triggaaar]

He was no faster than the Volvo filming him.

 

[Icy Gull]

Never driven there but as a kid I went to a few Grand Prix there. It rained every time and the F1 teams used the full circuit of 14 miles so you got to see the cars every 9-10 minutes and they say Grand Prix racing is dull these days

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Inched my way around a few German rings,but not that one.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

I've driven around Bathurst in their Friday Night cruise thing, very good

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I've driven round the Melbourne GP circuit.

Me too, a few weeks before the GP, and in a Ford Focus! They were building the stands etc at the time so it did feel vaguely like a race circuit.

 

[Collingburnian]

Was driven round the old Nurburgring in 1958 in a gullwing Mercedes Benz. There were 177 gearchanges per lap. Heaven knows how the Grand Prix drivers managed over a full race. They must have had arms of steel

 

[Lethargic]

Drove around it back in the 1980s and it was in a right state all I remember is the severe camber of the corners and the crumbling concrete, great experience even chugging round like an old granny. Also been to Rock Am Ring the music festival in the hairpin of the modern circuit.

Exactly the same right down to the Ford Focus hire car and scaffolding stands.
It was great fun with a bit of imagination.

 

[Superphil]

Thought the clip said it was a Megane RS

 

[Garage_Doors]

Ive walked around the whole of the yas marina circuit in Abi Dhabi.
Was 35 degrees and took 1 hour 15 mins

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Lady B has. In a fuel-injected Vauxhall Cavalier SRi.

Verdict ... "Brilliant". The circuit, not the car.

 

[Ronnie]

Was driven round the Canadian Grand Prix circuit in Montreal mid May in a 50 seater coach while on an organised tour of Canada
