Nordschleife! | Honda CB 500 | RAW Onboard

Описание: So I finally had the opporturnity to ride this holy track in real life.

I know this track by heart from the countless hours I put into it in Assetto Corsa, Gran Turismo, rFactor and iRacing and I felt at home right away.

There are only two major differences between the virtual version and real life: you have so much more space in real life and the drops at Pflanzgarten and Sprunghügel are so steep! It really goes down there. Damn.

But I was constantly worried about two things:
– some maniac rear ending me
– suddenly slipping off because of oil on the track.

The first thing wasn't so bad, I just kept looking in my mirrors. But the second one was the thing I was really afraid of. Luckily the track was clean, but it definitely reduced the fun I had around the track and kept me from giving more than 90%.

Opening the track for the pulic is awesome, but you just never know who drove before you and with which vehicle. There are so many videos on Youtube about people losing control without fault just because some idiot lost oil.

I highly recommend going to the Nordschleife to experience it on your own, but either do it with a bike/car you brought on a trailer (so you have a ride home when you crash) or simply rent a car there (no, not from Sixt, you can rent a BMW E36 right at the track).
