Hello everybody, thanks for your apprecation! With the setup the car has, it's not possible to drive the Karussel... you hit the bottom.. I tried it only once... ;-)! The same goes with the curbs, the car get's very instable. I will go back and drive the ring (the full lap, nothing left out) below 6.50. There are several fast corners where I still have reserves. Of course I need a lap without traffic for this. Regards, Chris
@@droceretik Since it was uploaded here, I suppose the uploader was the driver. He is one of the reasons that Touristenfahrten on the Nordschleife are debated. During Touristenfahrten the track is a public road and on a public road there is most definitely no room for careless driving like this. Yes, it worked out, but you can't justify silly stuff like this by the fact that the driver got lucky.
Your flying along in your Porsche Turbo on the final long straight on the N'ring feeling pretty pleased with yourself and something whizzes past you that makes you look like you're driving backwards... sigh!
I don't think I've seen a better recorded lap on RU-vid - the speed is one thing, but the amount carried through the corner is superb and how early you're on the gas. Awesome.
I've been in a radical on the track and I'll tell you, the g force is beyond. You feel like your legs are going to buckle on the bar in the footwell of the passenger seat.
In a good lap on the nürburgring you probably experience more in 7.06 min. then most people experiance in all their live... Jacky Steward, GP Germany, 1974
One thing is doing a 6:47 in a 2 million euro pagani zonda R on a closed track. A completely different thing is doing a 6:58 in toy car with downforce and a bike engine on a lap with traffic. Hats off to the driver!
+mosaab504 On the prior straight the closing speed would be somewhere between 150~200 km/h. The vast majority of drivers just wouldn't notice someone from behind at that closing speed; especially going into a corner that is somewhat dodgy without downforce.
A car like this held the street legal record for many years, I'm not sure it's really street legal, if it is, it shouldn't. Anyway it was a great fun to watch, a very cool video.
This is one amazing lap! But then something came in to my mind, to put in perspective that ACR Viper did lap of 7,01 !!!! How f**king big balls you have to have with street legal semislicks and quite much more weight to get anywere near of this Radical SR8 with slicks.
Well done. Thanks for answering my ? about the first banked turn before I asked! Looks like fun, and your comfort with the circuit shows. Would be fun if you could add a data graph to your video next time, and let the rest of us grinning watchers see what kind of accelerations and speeds you are reaching. The car sounds strong.
Yes, very reckless indeed. Cars should be fitted with a GPS tracker. If found to be hogging the road, should be slapped a fine and a ban from the track.
Love how you left those mono's standing at 3:41like they are Skodas or something, you got held up a little bit on the first mono prob lost ~2 seconds there
AWSOME !! very good drving chris, very carefull and i agree you still got reserves AND you really need to watch your driving line. there was a couple of light mistakes wich cost time. if you get a good run with the right driving line i think you can easily do a 6:40 or even less.
4 all you guys out there, the karussel is for ralley cars, not race cars. Why drive the karussel when your faster then all others without driving it????
