BMW 330i Clubsport on the RING

Weight in itself has zero bearing, BP.

Only where the weight is placed matters.

If a car is heavier and the weight is higher up, it will be more likely to flip over than a lighter car, not less.

^^ Right, this is exactly why most of the cars now have a lower center of gravity, so this doesn't happen. The center of gravities being lowered goes hand in hand with the increase of weight.

It took about an hour to load in HD but I watched the video this weekend. He's a great driver! One of my goals in life is to one day travel to Germany and drive on the Ring and the Autobahn. Not sure if that'll ever happen but hey I can hope! I wish we had some 13 mile track over here in the US.

Looks like a REAL adrenalin rush going that fast around the ring. I would be lucky to go half way through the track without crashing.

Thanks for sharing the old video of cars rolling over around the ring. Something I probably would do. lol

I want.....to.... go!!!! damn......Amtrak gives us highspeed trains, BMW give us highspeed roadways. :D

Holy crap that old Nurburgring video.

This is what i learned from that video.
- People were indestructible
- Cars were full of so much trash and clothes
- Some looked like families flying round that thing
- People these days sure arnt that friggin crazy anymore

When that VW bug cabrio started losing it, while its full of 4 people, i thought i was going to see something horrific.

A+!

The roll overs, stuff flying - including people, was just unreal. At 6:58 in the video I saw what looked like a can of beer fall out a window and explode.

Those were some crazy MFs.

I have finally convinced the wife to drive up to the ring on our next trip to the fatherland (my mother immigrated) and let me rent a nice M3 or so for a round or two.

^ Winning! So very jealous . . . I will make it to the 'Ring before I die! The wife can just chill at a café while I lap ol' green meanie.

I was talking to Dude at work today that owns a Mustang GT and ask him if he ever heard of the ring, nope, nothing, nada. It was lunch so I did a quick Google and showed him some picks on Wikipedia. He still didn’t seem to get it so, I grabbed this video I had posted here. He came over to my desk and watched the first few minutes and ask, "wow he's moving what’s he driving”, my reply, “my car”.

God did that feel good.
