I don't agree. The 'Ring is closer to a real road, because it is a real road, than any billiard table smooth track. A quick car on there is also a usefully quick car on the road.
Remember Stirling Moss in his 70's teaching Jeremy Clarkson a thing or two about car control?
The track in the video has been recently replaced but race tracks aren't as smooth as you might think
The tracks I've driven/ridden on down here, about 4 out of 7, are much smoother than our roads with a lot more grip. But I accept some tracks may not be that great.
It depends on the road I guess. Ours are full of Revenue men, so the risk is high. But you could top them out in Germany or Northern Australia. The Isle of Man circuit is also a legal road without a speed limit, so you could push there, carefully.
Yep, I'm into lateral G more than longitudinal, but you have to pick the time and place.
How could you possible be thinking of that? I see your username.
tell us you don't know much about racing or high end cars and those that can get the most out of them without saying it. Pobst has been the one that all the magazines and manufacturers use to find the limit of their high performance cars for many years. You would probablyl sh*t yourself if you rode around that track with him in one of those cars.
I know who he is. I’m saying a younger leading edge currently active racer would’ve been faster most likely. Probst is on the far side of the hill, unfortunately.
Wouldn't he be slower somewhat equally on all of the cars, assuming your theory is true?
