    Another video from the Nuerburgring....

    ...but this time I had the opportunity to drive on the two tracks (F1 circuit + Nordschleife) togheter!

    26km of excitement...really the paradise for every driver!

    P.S. We were going slow on the F1 circuit...I tried to go faster but after that I had problems with my tyres (this time Continental CSC2 and not Corsas) on the Nordschleife...and is not that good!!

    Unfortunately not...I don't speak German and for what I know, there isn't anything in english with the "Scuderia".

    uh, exiting video! -- thanks a lot for sharing!

    nice oversteering. and i thought "why isn't he overtaking this exige?"... but then you did.

    btw: movie quality is excellent, very calm camera, not shaky at all. how did you mount it?

    I let Max tell you how fast that Exige is... The guy in the Exige has very good driving skills too.

    Re: Another video from the Nuerburgring....

    I think that's the best driver's view track video I've ever seen. Because the camera is mounted fairly low, providing a close approximation to driver's actual view, it's easy to appreciate the speeds involved.

    Very nice. What car is it?

    Great video, very fun to watch! thanks for sharing

    ... careful when overtaking the bikers though, I though you were going to hit that one in the carousel!

    Max,

    I thought they'd banned all rolling cameras and videos at the Ring nowadays. You haven't been a noughty boy, have you?!! :-)

    Downloadingyour vid right now. Hoping to make it to the Ring sometime this season with my 996 C4. Used to ride motorcycles down there a lot before, but now I haven't been there for maybe ten years...

    Re: Another video from the Nuerburgring....

    Max - Respect ! That's a great video. You and your GT3 seem to master the whole lot over there on the Ring.

    I would be interested to know what problems you experienced with the tires?

    Forza!

    Max, another great video, looks like those conti's are done. I just did a track day at Watkin's Glen, I have a nice video of me( with my new bypass pipes) dueling it out with a modified m3. I'll try and post it later.

    Re: Another video from the Nuerburgring....

    Wow, Max, great video.

    Were your tires causing the oversteer, or do you have the car set up to be "loose"? Have you made any changes to the set-up that was delivered from the factory?

    From the look of things, I would be more comfortable in your car if it were to "push" a little more

    sorry MaxT i forgot to give a comment about your video, which was really great! You really drove very agressive!
    About the scuderia i'm quite sure they have an english speakin group too, because i was in an "almost swedish only" group so the instructor had to translate in english or german

    Re: Another video from the Nuerburgring....

    Thanks guys!!

    I didn't experienced many problems with the Conti's, but after more than 20Km of track, it's quite normal that a "street tire" starts to overheat!

    But, except this, the conti's are perfect tyres for winter track use (I made the video this easter)!

    zzboba, I used a clamp made by Manfrotto mounted to the roll cage! I will post a photo for you later!

    Carlos, You are absolutely right...it's so dangerous to drive at the same time with bikes!!

    BjornH, the video ban at the Ring is still there...but I think it's a very stupid law, so I've been a naughty boy!!

    How to make a good on-board video

    Here the stuff used to make the video:



    You can use this system if you have a roll bar or something strong and very stable on you car.

    My system is composed by:

    Super Clamp

    http://www.manfrotto.com/product/templates/itemalone.php3?itemid=344

    Head with quick release

    http://www.manfrotto.com/product/templates/itemalone.php3?itemid=308

    Plate for the video camera

    http://www.manfrotto.com/product/templates/templates.php3?sectionid=97&itemid=614

    Extension adapter (allows you to find a better position for the videocamera)

    http://www.manfrotto.com/product/templates/templates.php3?sectionid=223&itemid=72

    If you don't have a roll bar you can use this:


    and you have to add the extension adapter and the head with the plate (like in my system)

    You can find and order everything here:
    www.manfrotto.com

    Hope it will be usefull!

    Cheers,
    Max T.

    Uau!!! Max: Excellent video but specially excellent driving you must have dozens of lap to N-ring! If not you are gifted, believe me! I'm an racing driver and I know a good driver when I see one, I'm not saying this for the understeering which althought dangerous with such short run-outs. If you're not into racing you should. Until then enjoy yourself and by the way, use gloves, you'll feel more confident.

    I'm not at all an expert in this but one thing that puzzled me is that Max seems to lift hands from the steering wheel on a few occasions I wouldn't dear letting loose in those conditions... Yet it's amazing how the steering wheel seems to get itself naturally back into position.

    I must say I found Max's video on the SPA Francorchamps track much cleaner. Maybe it has to do with the tyres the GT3 was on.

    Re: How to make a good on-board video

    The reason why the front axle has a Caster angle is to help the wheels return to straight position after turning and this can be used to help pointing the wheels in the right direction in an oversteering situation. That said, in anj unnexpected and sudden O.S. situation if you let the steering slip throught your for hands for a split second it will actually correct the O.S. by the exact amount and faster but after that you have to grab it and straighten the wheels. This is one of the reasons I told Max to use gloves, its safer and you'll feel very confident!

    Ciao Max, you should do the Zakspeed school, I did it a few years ago and they speak English. Or you can do an RMA track day. I though you were going to loose it towards the end, nice save. When did you shot this? I was surprised you were able to do the complete 24-hour circuit and not just the Nordschleife.

    Very cool video! Thanks for sharing!
    As Carlos said I thought you were going to take out that bike around the bend.
    Next time you should also mount a rear camera to see the reactions of some of those you passed.

    What kind of keychain are you using? Is that a stuffed animal?
