Courtesy of a corner-carvers.com link. An awesome ride at Nurburgring in the wet. Blind faith... and a whole lot of skill. Enjoy.

That's the Grand Prix circuit, not the 'ring itself.

 

[SSMOKE-U]

Huge amount of talent there.

 

[oldmodman]

Racing at those speed, with that visibility.

[Kevin the Clean 1]

Huge amount of talent there.

That & a huge dose of bravery. The word dangerous is an understatement here...

REAL racing....

Now that is having confidence in knowing the course, in your car's setup, and with your driving skill. Wow! I had to watch the entire video. What a ride!

 

[TAF]

WOW! Thanks for posting that. I watched every second of that...and between the sound, the scary lack of visibility and the superb driving...that was FANTASTIC!

More of a man than me right there.

You know it's going to be a hell of a ride when at the first turn or so those taillights suddenly loom out of the mist with about .5 seconds to react. Love the multiple "saves" throughout with great/precision steering inputs. Talk about driving by the seat of your pants...the pucker factor would have me glued to the seat. The butt to tire traction connection is unreal.

Another great wet drive of recent memory was watching Tom Kristensen running his Audi spyder in the rain at night at Le Mans in 2008. Watched it live...truely mesmerizing. A lot less turns to memorize than at the 'Ring though...but diving (successfully) for any rain-shrouded apex at insane speeds earns you the brass-balls medal...with oak leaves, swords and diamonds.

The full GP circuit is the smaller 3.1 mile race course. This was the 24 hour/4 hour layout (I didn't enough atention to what one) which uses both the GP Circuit and the Nordschleife.
