That's great find . Really impressive stuff . The 75 hits those kerbs just as Alex teaches.
watching the lotus through the Karussell I see he has half car on the Tarmac . I always was warned if you do that it spits you out . ( at my one and only Ring trip) . :D
Maybe some Ring gurus can comment on that .

Tip that can save your life (or at least your car): Unless you're racing, DON'T HIT THE CURBS! :o


Also, unless you want a serious telling off in german, DON'T OVERTAKE ON THE RIGHT!!

Yes a very well known dutch driver and a regular visitor of the ring. One of the very few 75's left on the ring :(
It is the 75V6 with the front windscreen sticker: "this is not a rsr 75" or something like that.

The lotus driver can be happy that his car is light, as there are a lot of places he is saved by his brakes....

btw he is building a reputation among the lotus drivers I guess:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOEMytxn7zY

I'm not a ring guru, I kind of know where the track is going, at least used to be some years ago... :evil:

But agree with Mats.
So curbs at the ring: In my opinion there are only three places where you can ride the curbs. In this video two places the curbs are really used, the rest only slightly approached..
And those 0.xx [s] will not help you set a record, so don't abuse your car unnecessary.
I kind of didn't use the curbs anymore, as it unsettles the car less and as I wasn't driving for sec's but best flow, it felt better :lol:

Carrossel can be driven on the outside, lot of people do that, saves your muffler brackets and rubbers ;-)
But is half the fun, that is the place where you can get 1.5 [G] sideways when you hit it just right 8)
And yes the in and out position is really important. Especially out can give you really nice momentum into the wrong direction when done wrong.

the driver, how do I say this without offending someone, is a older person/guy, but has no long beard and that old... eeuh no :P

@Remco, it is a V6.
