Euro tour summer 05

[NoHachi]

Mo, it doesn't have any of the track surface changes, no pieces of the track where it stays damp under the trees, no curbs that you simply shouldn't hit etc etc

With that said: it is a great tool to learn the sequence of corners. There are a couple (Flugplatz, Adenau Forst, hohe acht etc) that cannot be seen in advance. It really helps to have an idea when theres a straightaway and where there's a corner.

The problem is that you quickly get overconfident. Its then that the surface changes etc start to make a difference. It happens every day, I can guarantee you that you will see atleast one newbies car beïng towed off on the day you visit, make sure it isn't you.

The best tip I could give is visiting the place first in a 80bhp std corolla. The speeds and risks are lower, without losing out on the funfactor.

The AE86 has the reputation of beïng a grey coffin with people on the ring. There is a reason that they have it.

(CRX's are called kamikaze cars, most short wheelbased-high horsepower cars are tricky over all the hills etc)

To see an example of what a small bump in the road can do to your car look here: http://tinyurl.com/ivlf. This driver has tremendous luck, usually in this corner (schwedenkreuz not aremberg like the video suggests) people lose controll and hit the armco at over 200km/h.
