Nürburgring Nordschleife Cornering Guide

Book excerpt: The Nürburgring is the most challenging racetrack in the world.Whether you want to amp up your sim game or drive the Green Hell in person, intimate knowledge of the track is what will make the difference between enjoying your outing and possibly regretting it.Video games and laser-scanned accuracy in racing simulators can help you become more familiar with the track, but they are ineffective study aids - at least initially. The track comes at you too fast, and 10+ minute lap times get in the way of learning how to connect difficult sequences of corners. And they are pretty much all difficult sequences of corners!Despite its difficulty, cornering guides that detail the driver's view all the way down to each entry, apex, and exit have simply not been available. Until now. In this guide, RSRNurburg instructor Antony Ashley distills his thousands of laps of Ring experience into advice that anybody can follow to learn to drive the world's most impressive track both safely, and quickly.
