    Flying lap of the Nords in a single seater with aero package - in the Wet!

    Thought this would be best placed here

    All I can say is watch it - such an epic, epic drive



    I want a go in one of those cars now

    See, the thing is I love driving overpowered cars round the ring in the wet on Sims - but I'm fairly certain that I'd bottle it in real life faced with a track like that
    Or just crash badly!

    He was Definately having some fun around the carousel, but the rest of the time i just think he was truly on the ragged edge!!

    My butt cheeks were clenched just watching that!

    Deffinatly not showboating Stidi - if you watch the video closely you'll note he only does it on the slower corners where it understeers badly.
    He's doing that on purpose to incourage the car to turn, once it's pointing the right way he can then accelerate hard again and not simply plough into the armco

    It's one of those rare occaisions where it's actually quicker for a racing car to drift than try and grip

    (He still has massive balls doing it while flat out on the Nords mind )

    I tried a little while afterwards, and failed spectacularly about a third of the way around

    My excuse is the lack of realistic feedback available.

    My excuse is knowing the first 1/3 of the track very well, and the rest not so. A wheel on the grass at 100mph+ and it's bye bye sadly

    Well I was watching the vid and trying to find the carousel and whilst I found one of the sharp turns I couldn't find the other, not driven the ring in probably over a year so yeah, my ring knowledge is next to none too. Should get around to buying Forza 3 really although 4 is not too far away.
