    You want a fast ride around the Ring?

    Watch this. It is Hans Stuck team driver for BMW.

    I got this off the speed site. Go to the first post and click on the link. For some reason I could not include here.

    Re: You want a fast ride around the Ring?

    Clearly he is very familar with the course and as a result maximized his speed in the turns a straightaways.Great drivers visualize the course, speed, gearing before they ever set foot on the track. I suspect he probably could have driven blindfolded.

    Did you notice how close he sat to the steering wheel?

    Also, what I was paricularly impressed with was his braking. Just viewing the video you would swear he never applied his brakes. All you heard was the engine revs during shifting. There never was an abrupt braking. He scrubbed little speed while braking and shifting.

    However, he did create his own apex on some of the turns and curves.

    Simply a fantastic display of driving.

    Stuck is so tall that he'd have to bend his arms and legs even if he sat far back in the cockpit.

    Especially when he had to get around some of the slower cars.

    And a fantastic display of why the Nürburgring is considered to be the ultimate test of a fast sportscar.
    After just watching one lap thru the onboard camera you feel like you need a shower!

    His Dad was a great race driver also.

    He certainly was - and a very entertaining one. He was the drift master and the doors and sides of his BMW racer were covered with dead bugs

    This is an old video, but thanks for reminding me that I have it

    Watch a larger version here:
    M3 GTR on the Nurburgring

    Please notice his laptime on the Nordschleife, he enters the Nordschleife at 1.31 in the video and leaves it at 8.21, which means that he completes the lap in less than 7 minutes - amazing

    (the circuit he drives on outside that timeframe is the GP circuit)

    I think 30 years of auto racing is stressful.

    Here is a picture of Hans Stuck.
