Lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, after lap, and so on, and on, and on, and on... that's the only way to remember it. -- ----------------------------------- Morgan Vincent Wooten http://members.tripod.com/~morganv/ -----------------------------------

No, forget F10. Use an F2 or F3 car for your first laps, then as it becomes clearer move on up to your favorite F1. That's what I've done and it's becoming clearer each lap. -- ----------------------------------- Morgan Vincent Wooten http://members.tripod.com/~morganv/ ----------------------------------- > Arrrggghhh!!!

Unlike Monza or Silverstone, Nurburgring have funny corner names. Like I am gonna remember them hehehe

Just start with the slowest one available, the F12. Work your way up slowly and in about 6 months, you'll be ready for F1. ;-)) -- /Chuck Kandler #70 /ChuckK on Won.net & WinVROC /K&S Racing http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/thepits/195 /The box said "Windows 0x5f or better", so I installed LINUX!
All the corners have names, and very distinct personalities. Take the time to learn and recognize them. :-) There's a web page somewhere listing the corner names and associated folklore. This was very helpful to me when I was learning the course. Now, I greet each one as I pass through, and mentally carry on conversations with some. By lap 10 in a GP, however, conversation invariably lapses to wordless droning. I think this is more from numbness than being "in the zone" or simple familiarity. Michael.

Just don't watch those sub-8 minute replays of Huttu and Woeger... I did yesterday, and finally realized that I will never be one of the fast guys... just amazing how these guys can drive. Just wachting the replay made me dizzy :) Andre

Remember this: Over every blind rise there is a corner. Well thats my theory anyway, though my 9:58 doesn't really lend much merit to it:) Chris * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

How do You remember all the other circuits then? Go in training-mode. And take a sightseeingtour. divide it in sections. And adept each section. see it as a circuit with circuits in them. Every day a lap or two. Until you've got the feeling you know it. Then drive a race behind the slowest AI driver (don't get frustrated here it takes patience) to learn where you can pass. I think then you know the circuit. Jacky Ickx learned the course in '66 or '67 in a 18 or 24 hour event in the sportscar gt class. He was in '67 the fastest F2 driver with a top 3 F1 time.
