SO WHAT? That's exactly how the GT6 racer looks at speed! Except for the handling and the speed.
But I will assert that my errors are somewhat more entertaining than his but less frequent...
Still, my engine note on song is a bit more stimulating than that limp wrist "howl" he presents. Really, can you even hear one piston slap the head? Goodness, they call that an engine....

How about an SR8 V8 Radical? Bloke needs to learn the lines, but 6:55 on road tyres IS FAST.
6:30 on proper tyres.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely and in one piece, but to slide in broadside, knackered and defiantly yelling "Geronimo"!

Not really
I'll explain it though.
He's wide in the corner after the old pits and should be in a higher gear.
He's in the wrong gear in the 4th turn of HatzenBach, he says 2nd is better, but 3rd would be better and less fussy.
He's wide in the cornering leading to the bridge/flugphlatz, so ruins the exit speed on that whole section, costing maybe 1second.
No need for the lift at the Flugphlatz, could have been flat there, 2seconds faster down to Schwedenkrautz.
He's wide in the 150mph Schwedenkrautz corner, he says its bumpy, yes, it's not on the inside, time wasted there.
At Aremberg he takes the "amatuer new boy line". He needs to stay later on the outside and turn in later, sharper and get on the power earlier, giving a better exit down the foxhole.
The line he takes into Adenaur Forst is the "newboy line", not the "attacking" line, really bad. 1second lost there.
He turns in too early to Bergwerk and stuffs his run up the massive hill by taking too much curb, his radius was too late, again like Aremberg he needs to stay out and turn later and power earlier.
The end of the lap was good from HoheAct (highest point).
To be fair he didn't have much Ring Experience, Michael Vergers was his name. He didn't get many laps and the tyres were shreading themselves in 2laps.
You wanna see the PERFECT lines, watch this
55 year old Hans Stuck would munch this Vergers kid
This is the Defacto line learning video. It's PERFECT I mean textbook, it couldnt be any better. Credit given where credit is due. Hans knows how to use the camber, changes in camber, perfect car placement to make up for consessions in the tarmac and bumps etc...

I've got a soft spot for old french engineering so this would take you down memory lane a bit, having spotted one of these heads in a workshop in Paris 10 years ago. (like they only made 100 castings!) http://membres.lycos.fr/rocauto/eindex.html
"Having always been fascinated by Technics and new developments, Fred Stalder decided in 1973 to design and build a new 2-litre engine in order to compete in the European Formula 2 This Simca-Chrysler 180 based ROC engine won the 2-liter Group 6 class in Le Mans in 77, 78 and eventually in 80."
Oh and let's not forget, there's quite a few people that get killed doing this sort of stuff...as did his chief engine builder Mr Funda.

A bit OT, but great to see a real French engine make it to the top...scuse the "drifting"..... Bit awesome the humungenous 2 x 37mm inlet valves eh!!! Ti rods, Cosworth pistons etc etc all from 35years ago!
