It seems Jacky is actually hurting as he's commentating during this drive. I wonder if Michael Schumacher could smash into a Damon Hill front or reach tire on this track. Wonder he even be man enough to drive it in anger like Howden is driving here. My feeling is, Schumacher's Anus would pucker up and if he finished the race, he would not be looking so happy like he did in the '90's - 2005. Senna would race anywhere whether he liked it or not.
Your Grandpa is a Warrior to do what he was doing here. He and his counterparts went into battle not knowing if they were going to come out of the 'Ring the same way again. Your grandpa is a hero of mine to drive this course in anger like he's doing now. It did not matter if you won this race or not, but to survive alone is victory! My complements to your Grandfather
2:51 is amazing with the original straight back to the pits where the road just rises and falls in that 1.5-2 mile stretch. It is flat today until you get to the antoniusbuche bridge.
Id love to see the ring back on the calendar, the real ring of course not the sterilised excuse for a circuit they have at the moment. Never gonna happen tho, a man can dream....a man can dream
And to think Howden Ganley's car, the ISO Marlboro, was one of the slowest at the time! By the way, if you play most computer racing games that feature Nurburgring you can still aim at that tree just before Karusell and it still works! Thanks Jackie!

Wow... the commentary on this really gives the lap a greater dimension!
The comment about coming out of the downward part with too much G force to switch pedals was striking!
