bruntr Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Here is short clip I put together from Sachsenring.... this was shot day one (of two) session 3, so I was just getting the hang of the track. Due to brutal noise testing on the front straight I had to go down it at half throttle and loose a load of time..... the next day in the rain I was quicker as to guy doing the testing didn't come out till it stopped raining. Anyway enjoy the clip as I had the time of my life running this track.......nothing but the longest blind left hander in the world..............

glamazon Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 I've been wondering how to do international track days...did you ship your bikes there? Rent bikes? Or are you lucky enough to live nearby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I've been wondering how to do international track days...did you ship your bikes there? Rent bikes? Or are you lucky enough to live nearby? We've been waiting two months for bruntr's Brno update. I hope all is well. Some years ago in my nearly forgotten misspent youth, an obscure magazine writer published a story about riding a track day at the Nurburgring on the original 28 km "long course" (they don't race on it anymore). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BCrburgring Riding the old course has been a "childhood dream" of mine ever since. I seem to recall the magazine writer rode a BMW (motorcycle) that he simply rented over there in Germany (not at the track). In any case, I would think that unless one is racing, renting "over there" would be the way to go. ETA: it seems that with the construction of the new GP track that the old course ("north loop") has been shortened a couple of miles. Still, at 70 + corners of closed course, one might spend a lifetime learning it. I can hardly imagine a cooler challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
