I had the opportunity to spend a weekend in Germany in August with a little
Ford Puma rental. I made my way over to the 'Ring and managed to get in a
lap ($10 US). Unfortunately, I was holding a video camera onto the dashboard
with my shifting hand so I had to limit my shifts. As a result, it was a
pretty slow lap (14+ minutes). But it was still a blast. At the time I had
only experienced GPL for a week, so I didn't know the track as well as I do
now.
Anyway, I managed to download a few (RealVideo) clips of the lap onto my
website:

I'd love to hear some feedback... especially about the 3rd clip! Enjoy...
Cheers,

PS: the quality is not great but I'm limited in webspace so I'll have to
make due with it as it is for now.
I think he was fine; other bikers behind me had pulled off to make sure. A
woman racer had been killed in a fiery crash at Schwedenkreuz (Sp?) the day
before. This guy was luckier.
As I said it was a slow lap, my top speed was going down the long straight
at the end - about 140-145 kph (I wanted to go faster but I knew the exit
was coming up and I didn't want to wipe out!). I got to go 200+ kph on the
Autobahns later on. Yeehaa!
Glad you enjoyed it...

As I said, it was a slow lap, and my maximum speed was 140-145 kph going

Glad you enjoy the videos...
