Try the lap with Jacques Villeneuve:
“General, the Nurburgring is a tough observe. The boundaries block the view in a number of locations and the crowds of spectators are fairly distant from the observe, so typically it is onerous to know the place you might be on the observe. It is a fashionable but additionally fascinating observe. The primary a part of the course might be a brand new problem as the primary nook has been changed by a number of new ones. The racing ought to turn out to be much more fascinating because the braking after the straight might be even stronger. The one place we expect ought to have been modified on the Nurburgring is the Veedol-S nook, one thing we now have been speaking about for 5 years.”
“The primary set of corners is adopted by a really quick left-hander, which must be accomplished very precisely so as to have the ability to strategy the Ford nook on the highest attainable velocity. This is without doubt one of the most essential corners on the observe, as it’s adopted by a straight, on the finish of which there’s an actual alternative to overhaul your rival within the braking zone. The bends are made within the Dunlop bend.”
“The Dunlop is a really lengthy loop, greater than 180 levels. To be quick on this nook, it’s important to brake too late earlier than it within the first place! That is adopted by a really quick nook, which you will get by way of with out letting off the accelerator.”
“Then you definitely come to a really enjoyable sector which consists of the left-right RTL and BIT-Kurve corners. Regardless that they’re proper subsequent to one another, the velocity between them is sort of excessive. The BIT-Kurve nook is a bit spherical, so there’s hardly any braking and the steering wheel is turned solely barely. It’s adopted by a really quick straight uphill. On the finish of this straight the braking may be very heavy, however it’s a good place to overhaul your rival.The straight results in the Veedol-S nook, which is a really tight and angular S-curve. It is not enjoyable in any respect.”
“The final nook on the observe, Coca-Cola, may be very enjoyable. It is a nook the place it’s important to brake simply sufficient to maintain the velocity up. This nook results in the start-finish straight, the place the Nurburgring lap ends.”
