Whew! My first sub-9 minute lap of the Nurburgring. 8:51.48 to be exact! What a
great track in a great car.

Did you know... that the Nurburgring was actually built in England. The Germans
just nicked it during WW2 :)

YES! ALL 14.2 MILES OF IT!!

Dont feel bad. Im 10:18 on my best lap in the Eagle. I once did a 9:xx but
it was a freak occourance. Was never able to duplicate it.

Stick with it. If you keep going back and doing a couple of laps now and then,
you'll find you remember more and more of it each time. Memorization is vital
at the 'Ring, since it has so many blind sections. I never thought I'd get a
decent time in either; I seemed stuck in the high nines. But I finally
memorized it well enough, and the times dropped a ton. Just be patient.

Yesterday, I did a 9:23 in the Ferrari. In 3 laps out of a 5 lap Pro-race, I did
9:29, 9:28 and 9:23 and in that last lap, I even had a 360 degrees spin between
Bergwerk and Carroussel. If this wouldn't have happened, it would have been my
first 8:## lap!

Once you have begun to string together the different sections of the
Ring together, you may want to check out the excellent guide by Peter
Tabrams to attacking the course. I tried using it before I was familiar
with the track and was just as lost as when I was driving it. But,
after I was able to run a couple of consistent laps without wrecking
every 100 yards, I found this guide the key to getting my times down to
the 8:30's. Now, that is far from fast... But at least now I know how
and where to attack to get faster.

Mike, I agree and I am still at that 8:20-8:30 range (8:30 is more like
it consistently). That helps and so does this, once you know the names
of the sections...

***y Hell! We'd better claim it back then. I think there might be room for
it on my door step. Might have to demolish a few hundred houses : )

Yeah! Let's take back what's rightfully ours! I know, we can nuke Milton-Keynes
