That's Pflantzgarten 1

Quite critical to get this one right as you're doing 110+ before the jump & it's deadly to touch the brakes before the car settles after the jump. Must have been filmed a few years back because all the trees have been cut back on the right now & it gives you a better idea of what that corner looks like - it's a tricky double apex one, too.

Yes, it's an old film I've seen a few years ago.

When you get into the corner, courage is needed to keep the car balanced on the throttle at speed. Great corner when you get it right but there is just so much you can get wrong!

I've done over 70 now - 38 on the last 4 day extravaganza this year :)

Just keeps getting better as a track. The problem is that the weekends are just too busy now. Mid-week for me from now on.

No, becoming German is a step too far.

Just need to become braver now to get below my 8:40 times :mrgreen:
