A lot of you guys who follow me since 2010 asked me where this video just passed!
It was just my absolute best video in term of views, it cumulated 6M views in 2019 :-000
For one reason that i do not know, it was just retired from youtube, so here it is again!!
The intro is also very nice because we see the peoples at the entry barrier and also all around the track and now due to the situation, we cannot see this anymore :-(
HERE IS THE STORY of this lap
In 2015 i had this incredible Ariel Atom 3 300hp, with the aero kit (front and rear) and decided to seriously going at the ring with it for training, because i already felt in love on this track and this particular car with absolutely 0 assistance so an incredible challenging car who accelerated from 0 to 100 in 3sec, which is quiet good in 2015...the only problem of this car were about the fuel tank who only allowed 2.5 laps before empty :-)
Also not the best in term of security if big crash there :-(
As you can see in the vid i start the lap in TF classic entry, and found by pure hasard on front of me this incredible Corvette z06 who let me passed at T13 but chased me closely till Adenauer forst then i let him pass again and he leaved at Adenau exit because empty fuel
Ok this was not so fast lap, but this video were very popular because it was soooo immersive due to the camera mounted on the roll bar!
The thing i touch with my left hand is the turn indicator :-)
The car were on TOYO R888 and adjustable Bilstein suspension

This was immensely satisfying to watch. I don't think I've ever watched a full circuit of the Nurburgring before, especially not with so much other traffic, I really like how drivers put on their signals while driving at speed to let you know they've seen you approaching and that its safe to pass. How much I wish the typical American on the highway had even an iota of that amount of situational awareness.

I suspect that the last kilometre or so is driven at lower speeds. It seems as if it’s meant to give drivers and riders a few seconds to dial their brains down from race pace to normal low speeds, and then exit the track in a careful manner. Otherwise, they might get “last lap” passing moves, to get to the exit ahead of that vehicle you’ve been chasing hard for most of the lap. That could be quite dangerous, so this way the track users have a few seconds to chill out and get back to normal reality before leaving the track. Very smart.

As an owner of the 2017 C7 I can honestly say that Chev really stepped up with the Corvette and the new shape C8 is gorgeous. I’ve also owned the flying C6 (literally lifts up the front end on a windy day). This video was great many thanks. Lost of corners here which my C6 would have just said no to lol. So I can see why the Z didn’t want to try and compete with that enormous go kart.

I always love returning to this video here and there. The knowledge that vette is just right up ya the entire time and the stunning moment (that I notice is now the 'Most Replayed' moment) is that little (guessing Evo?) realizing he got stuck in the pocket and just absolutely smashes the throttle to get out of your way.

What a masterpiece. I remember C&D characterizing the Atom as being able to “pass a Z06 on the track like it’s a minivan.”. I adore the way you can see your tire’s relation to the apex by just looking down. Incredible.
@tudormontescu6275
@tudormontescu6275 2 роки тому
You must have not watched the video. The corvette simply played with the atom as the said minivan, letting it pass and then passing him again. Perhaps he was trying to see if it will crumble under pressure and drive into a wall, like Senna did with Schumacher on his tail.

Excellent!! Great driving!! The Atom is great but the Vette was no slouch!! Nice to see that AND great sportsmanship!! That white car with the airfoil, toward the end of the race, looked like he was going to lose it for a split second. Saw some wheel hop cuz the driver thought his car was more capable than it actually was. He's a lucky guy not to have wiped out. Again, really great!!👍
