Cool Video of Speed3 at Nuburgring!

Nice find man. Not only is the video high quality and entertaining, but it teaches you about the track and that guy is a good driver.
 
God Im so Pissed, I've been to Germany 2 times both for work. And wasnt able to get to the Ring. Granted I was up on the Northern Coast, I should have just skipped out of work for a week and camped out down their
 
Awesome video. Running that track in my MS3 would be a dream come true.

I don't care how slow you want to drive, but when I come up behind you move over. It's seems so simple and would aid so many traffic issues but I'm done boggling why it can't be. I used to be a strict "under no circumstance pass on the right" kinda guy. But 2 months in Atlanta, pulling my hair out waiting for the politeness (or brains) of my fellow commuters to kick in has stripped me of that feeling.

Personal Responsibility.

The nurburgring can be a dangerous place. The people paying money to drive on it know that they are taking their lives into their own hands.

Truth is, Germans are MUCH better drivers than Americans. They KNOW slower traffic stays right and they KNOW that you are only supposed to pass on the left.

Btw, any corner you can do 140 around is more of a gentle sweeper and unless there is a blind dip (in which case you should be slowing down anyways), you should have plenty of time to react to them.

When you pay your money to run on the ring, you are responsible for yourself. No one holds a gun to your head and forces you to drive on it.

You check your mirrors, watch your speed, obey the laws of traffic, and have a heck of a good time.

Its no different than being at a track day...except this is the coolest public track EVER!!!!!!!!!!!


I want to drive both this and Laguna Seca before I die.

Yes Europeans are much better drivers. When I wa sin Belgium for two weeks everyone was driving 90+ miles per hour safely. I saw no one doing anything otehr than drive behind the wheel- no cells, no make-up artists; just both hands on the wheel. But your all right, such things would be hihgly unlikely here becasue many Americans aren't accountable for their actions. They screw-up and expect someone else to pay. Its sad really.
 
The Hans Stuck video is awesome, but I was still impressed by the MS3 vid. It certainly is a capable little car. I can hardly wait to auto-x it, or better yet...take it to a track day.

For somebody to state blatently that Europeans are better drivers is retarded. I'll put my record and ability against anybody you'd like. Yep, Germans are so much better on the roads that they had to make it illegal to motion with your finger, there's somebody to look up to.
 
Also, anything under 10 minutes on the Ring is pretty good. Considering that the second video is a little over one minute quicker for probably 10 times the price, I'll stick with my MS3.

Stock MS3 vs m3 Race car

That's nothing. THIS is THE sickest 'Ring video ever: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1305035467458424752&q=bmw+m3+hans

Hans Stuck, legendary racer, in the BMW M3 GTR. This video will give you wood. It's unreal and REAL TIME.

It is impressive, but that m3 is a race car with race tires, and one of the best drivers ever to put a wheel on the ring. The speed3 is stock with street tires, and the driver is probably a club racer at most if he works for a car mag, otherwise he would not be working as a mag guy, but racing for real.

I'm taking my car to New Hampshire Int'l next Tuesday with SCDA. I'll be sure to post video as I ALWAYS have my camera with me. I'm excited to finally hit the track this year.
 
Move Porsche get out tha way..ha..

It wasn't until he hit that first straightaway that I realized what GT4 course you were talking about. I didn't play that one as much as the first three. It seemed ridiculously hard to keep a car on the road. For no reason at all I would always spin out on that last straight away where he hit like a gazillion miles an hour. And did you see how fast he was able to slow down?? ha..If my mazda could get up that high, a wall would have been the only thing that could have slowed me down. The only thing both the videos were lacking was an onscreen speedometer. I loved to here the bmw downshift..the rest just sounded like a plane taking off. (nana)

not so sure if it was said that they were better as in a better race car but more in the sense of the fact that they are more aware and curteous (sp?) and there fore traffic flows more freely and there is less aggression on the roads over there.... don't get your panties in a wad... it was meant as euros as a whole and americans as a whole which is true...

Ditto on that.

Multi tards. Again, if they are so courteous why do they need laws such as in Germany, ahhh I see, you want your government to control your daily lives, pathetic.
