Post by: RJT on 24 November 2004, 18:17: that fine piece of ass that took clarkeson out drives the nurgburing taxi which is an M5 sponsered by BMW.There is some video clips arround of her doing laps on scooby net i think.

Post by: tallchap on 24 November 2004, 18:48: If you intend to go, learn the circuit on 'Grand Prix Legands' game. You don't get the changes in altitude, but at least you know which way the next bend goes!

It is really hard to learn, I been several times and have done many laps in various toys (not a Golf yet), but still don't instictively know it all, yet.

Clarkson was very lucky not to stack the Jag - there really is NO margin for error. Two of my pals have stacked their Porkers at the 'ring (no pun intended).

To view a fast lap, driven by my mate Barrie, go to www.trackfun.co.uk, go to 'multimedia' and 'click the link' for a fab lap around the 'ring with Baz chasing the M5 Ring taxi!

Enjoy.

Post by: hairyarse on 24 November 2004, 18:58: Thanks for the link tallchap!! I had just seen in another forum (GPL related) link for download of what I assume is the same lap - with Sabine driving the Ring Taxi but it's about 100MB which is too much for my dial-up!!

Anyway, if anyone interested, check out post no 16 in the thread for the clip.
