I watched it expecting to see Sabine Schmitz pass him on the outside of a corner :D Driving the old ring is at the top
of my bucket list but in a Porsche 962. Best track in the world to me, can't believe Formula 1 use to race there. About 15
years ago I talked to Dan Gurney and asked him about driving the Nurburgring and Spa. He said if you thought about what you where doing (sitting on 80gal of fuel, no seat belt or fire suit) you wouldn't have done it. There's so many great video's of
the old ring, both bikes and cars, what a track it still is today.

There's something about that fancy camera mount that takes away some of the realism for me. I can't get out of my mind the picture of it being done like an old Hollywood film with a static bike being flicked around infront of a back projection screen :lol:
