Too many drivers >over-estimate their skills and abilities. Although the cars top speed is much higher, (the 110 mph equates to just below 3000rpm) I referred to was on unrestricted Autobahns. There's no way I'd put my own car on the Nurburgring, in each 14 mile loop you'll see on average two accidents and a couple in the barrier. It's great fun to drive on, but to be safe it's best to hire a car specially set up for it with four point belts and roll cage, there are several places around the ring where these can be hired. -- Clive |
