Wet 'Ring and R500

he took it for a "spin"

[escondidoron]

The spin was at the exit of the 2nd of 3 corners that make up a section called "Adenauer Forst". It is a tricky right-left-right bit. Spins (oversteer) and going straight across (understeer) are pretty common.

 

On public track days there are always a lot of spectators there with cameras to catch the action.

 

Vintage 70s video taken at the same location, shot looking at the exit of the left where the R500 spun in the middle of the 3 corners that make up Adenauer Forst:

Ouch, mind that few people in normal cars had (or wore) safety belts back then.

I notice most were VW Beetles or their related Type series for sedans/wagons - not exactly a paragon of handling virtue.

 

As for the driver popping out of the door during a roll -

 

Despite the spin, I thought the Seven driver looked quite smooth - it looked pretty greasy

AND no, roll bar, helmets, seat-belts... Poster children for crawling out of the gene-pool and drying off. After watching that, I seriously doubt the long-term viability of the species! Bring in the clowns :jester:
