I'm just not getting into a car with a rookie anymore..no matter what they deserve.
People here must by now know how boring I can get whenever the subject Nordschleiffe and beginners comes up.....It wasn't any different with my friend. We were on vacation for two weeks and all the time i was warning him about the drive on the ring that we would do at the end of it. So he bloody well knew how dangerous the ring could be. In the end, thinking that you have any controll as a passenger is an illusion. I had zero time to say something to correct him, the line through wipperman was exactly as it should have been, the entry speed into the last right-hander was safe, but then suddenly he spoke that remark and at the same time accelerated...later he said that he was 90% sure that that corner could be taken quickly..and it would have gotten him into serious trouble if it hadn't been for my panic screams. This way he stomped on the brakes earlier and just got the car sideways onto the curbs, without that reaction he would have ended up at the entry of Eschbach at twice the speed he should have. Due to the downhill nature of that section, his brakes would probably have been completely useless. This is exactly the danger of learning the ring through video games that I have warned people over here for time and time again. For the people with faster cars...this whole thing was in a bloody boring 90hp Golf. Almost the whole second section of the ring could be taken full throttle in fourth gear without much fuss. I don't want to know what could have happened if he had had more hp under his right foot. A wheel to steer the front of the car A pedal to steer the rear |
