Default A Lap Of The Nordschleife During Touristenfahrten

Not my best lap, but the weather was nice and the sky was bright...

I'm probably around 50-60 laps right now. Going to get in another 15 or 20 tomorrow, as it's a track day. Woo hoo!!!

The car is just fantastic - that is really what I think (oh, by the way... which one's pink?).

I can rip off 8:30 laps during Touristenfahrten without even thinking. It's weird. No matter the amount of traffic, I keep hitting the same time. Gotta focus more and find that perfect lap!

Wonderfull seeing you and Mrs. Trakcar as always. Wish we could have overlapped longer. Been planning for 2017 Winterfest/48 Hours for a while now.

Hats off to Kobalt for being my (white) rabbit this afternoon. So sorry you wasted a couple of your laps on slow-poke me. But I do sincerely appreciate it!

Awesome lap Lar. Nice clean driving. I'd expect nothing less.

So glad to hear you are liking the car. I have to say, the more I drive it, the less I'm missing the GT3. (NEVER thought I'd say that).

Any code brown moments yet or are you being ultra conservative?

One tip is to try to get the car( 385 HP gt4) from bridge to t13 apex/ lefthander ( where the blue nr 2 is in map) in under 30 seconds. If you do that then you feel instant what pressure you need to keep in the GT4 rest of lap to reach sub 7.30.btg

Aim or try to keep that same pressure on the gt4 rest of lap and you end up sub 7.30.btg

Try to reach apex bergwerk in just under 4 mi. Keep it on same speed and pressure and look for just under 5 min when going in to big karusell. Its so long, but its nice to try these 3 sections and work on reaching those times in a GT4, then you end up sub 7.30 btg.

If you reach apex in t13 where the blue nr 2 is in under 30 seconds from the start at bridge in a 385 HP GT4, well then that pressure is what One need to put to car not only this short section but all way to go sub 7.30 btg. But its easy to try this first 2km short section, go For sub 30 sec. Thats all. If you make it, then you are on the way!

Still I need to get lessons from you when you get back lol. You're 2x as fast as us! Although we only did 2 laps each in a rented Swift.
