      at first I was hoping this includes the südschleife, then I thought the nordschleife is dangerous enough. at one point I felt like I would have enjoyed to experience the original track back then, but lapping this track was indeed more about survival than fun.

      The "idea" came from Grand Prix Legends. One of the best sims out there 20 years ago, probably played by many Pcars devs (for sure by a few, since their names were popular in the simracing communities back then, and you can clearly see the respect they have for that title since tracks like the old Silverstone or Rouen are clearly a tribute to it), or AC devs (I think Kunos too, or at least he regularly posted in the most important italian dedicated to simracing forums at that time) or modders. This version of the Ring was there too, and it was fantastic as well.

      The Nordschleife Layout seen from above is exactly the same like it was build in 1927. They reshaped some jumps in 1970 reconstruction and added some run offs. But since then basically nothing changed. They had to add FIA Fences for the Spectator Areas some time ago, to keep it FIA approved. Biggest class allowed right now is GT3. And they are doing the F1 Lap Times of the mid 70s with those beast, if you calculate only the Nordschleife from T13 to Hohenrain. So GT3s have to be slowed down every year to keep em at roughly 8 Minutes in the VLN Layout with the shortened GP Track.

    Leo Kinnunen, World Sportscar Champion together with Pedro Rodriguez in 1970, spent a lot of time in my hometown of Turku, Finland (Jarno Saarinen was also from Turku) and I met with Leo several times especially in the early-2000s. We spoke a lot about his experiences in the Porsche 917K, in the Interserie Porsches and also his brief visit in Formula One. He spoke about the Nordschleife being a terrifying place in the 1960s and 1970s. Particularly bad for him was that he lost his good fellow and compatriot Hans Laine there in 1970. Even though Leo passed away a couple of years ago, I'm sure he would have been astonished to see this video and also other videos done by Jimmy.

    I was fortunate to have visited a Group-C weekend in the last year of the old start/finish section in the 80s and I can tell you, it was a great spectator's track, especially when you had admission to the "island" between the two long straits. So you could literally look into H.-J. Stuck's cockpit twice per lap. Great show.

    • @OsellaSquadraCorse
      @OsellaSquadraCorse 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Heel and toe.
      It's a technique for continuing to apply pressure on the brake pedal, but also blipping the throttle to match the revs while downshifting (using left foot for the clutch).
      Because you used to keep the heel of your foot on the brake, and used your toe to blip the accelerator. It was necessary more when double-clutching in a non-synchromesh transmission; where you HAD to match the revs or the gear wouldn't go in; with a synchro transmission it's more about keeping the car smooth and not putting extra load or rapid deceleration through the transmission (leading to wear/breakage, or axle/wheel hop if you suddenly decelerate the drivetrain), for performance gain rather than necessity.
      Modern drivers rarely use it, because very few racing cars have a clutch pedal, so left-foot braking has become more prevalent. Until 15 years or so ago however, many professional racing drivers still right-foot braked, with heel-toe. Nowadays professionally it's pretty much only seen in NASCAR, and in V8 Supercars where drivers want to optionally use the clutch to downshift (and of course, historic racing).
