Adenauer Forst!



Have a nice day . I hope this week was a real challenging week, enjoying our favourite game, Gran Turismo. Personally, I played some tournaments and one endurance race and as a result I have progressed. I had a great time with others activities too. I went joking, I met some friends and I played some war games. Everything is just perfect lately. Last time, the Schwedenkreuz and Aremberg turns were passed with ease, but now new turns are there to make our life difficult. Let’s see more.
Adenauer Forst is a quick, fluid combination of a left and right turn, but you have to turn with a single turn of the steering wheel. After Aremberg, you have to lower the car speed and stabilize the car. Keep your line, you will need it for the right turn. For the right turn, you have to use brake gently,  pass over curb and remain right to get the optimum position for Adenauer Forst.
The second part of Adenauer Forst is a tight right turn, where mistake is really easy. There is no visibility in this point, so you can underestimate it. A wrong approach equals a bad exit here. Be less risky when you enter the corner and try to get your throttle back again at the exit. For your own safety, don’t pass over curb. Riding the curb will lead you out of track and multiple seconds will be lost.

I will be back soon with some more turns of Nürburgring. Good luck.

Schwedenkreuz and Aremberg



Gran Turismo friends nice to be with you again. What's up? I hope everything to feel great. As I do. My advice is to do what children do. They are happy because they play as more as they could. I played Gran Turismo and some online boxing games. I felt like child again. Last time I drove with you some khm further further in Nürburgring, Today we will get a step closer to the finishing line.

Schwedenkreuz is the next curve. A really underestimated group of left curves. It can be really easy, but it can turn out to be really difficult. Again push the car to the limits, keeping your car nice and steady. Keep your car at the left side of the road and prepare for second part, where understeer and oversteer are present and can ruin your lap.
The next turn, Aremberg. You have just passed with more than 200 khm here and the first thing you should is to find a way to stop your car! Come more closer to the center of the track as the left side may be the reason you are out. Have in mind to brake correctly: not to late to hit the barriers, nor too early to lose couple of seconds. A right pass here will guide you as smoother as possible to Fuchsröhre. Be careful and drive smart!
I will be back soon with some more turns of Nürburgring. Good luck.

Nürburgring gets really tough!

I am in the second week of my exams. Nightmare. I have to fight my will to play online truck games and focus, but I can't. Last time we covered some more khms in Nürburgring. Today we will cover some more.
After the tight and technically demanding Hatzenbach Geschlängeland Hocheichen, we make a beeline for Quiddelbacher Höhe pushing gas to the floor. You have to have guts and will here, or you will lose valuable seconds. track is getting more and more narrow as we getting deeper. Choose to pass from the middle of the track and try to bring car a little to the left in order to get the ideal position for the double right at Flugplatz. The climb to Quiddelbacher Höhe is incline, so be really careful or you car will fly like Dukes' car. Keep car left here because overtaking can punish you hard! Speedy cars should brake moderately here as the crest lead you against the barriers. I can say that the Flugplatz separates the men from the boys. Bravery will surely reward you.
Depending on the car you drive, you have to choose the right pass over the crest at Quiddelbacher Höher. My suggestion is to use the fourth or fifth gear, brake briefly and hard. In this point you mainly want to stabilize your car. The two curves should be combined to a single bend with a single turn of the steering wheel. It is a really difficult and risky move.! So be careful!
I will be back soon with some more turns of Nürburgring. Good luck.

Nürburgring- ology

I play Online Truck games, this is something we all know. This addiction is the reason that many days passed too quickly. Last time, we covered some turns at Nürburgring. The difficult have begun early, as the first turns were a nightmare. Our starting point is the second half of Hatzenbach-Geschlängel.
In order to do your best here, you have to show great composure and bravery! After the double right, hold your foot on the pedal for the left turn. Use the right hand edge of the track to steer correctly. Keep the gas on the floor. Be really careful as the end of this turn as it will affect your performance at the next S. Good position will lead to a great S pass, but a bad one will lead you on the crash barriers!
The final S (or the Hatzenbach passage) is really tight. That's the reason I mentioned the necessity of right exit in the left turn. Regulate perfectly the speed. Try to brake efficiently when turning into the S in order to gain optimum speed and keep the car controlled at the end of the S.
The final strike is the Hocheichen. My advice here is to keep it simple and clear. More complicated choices will add undesteering to your car and you will surely get in trouble. Run as wider as possible in order to get the right pass here.
I will be back soon with some more turns of Nürburgring. Good luck.
Your friend,
Thanos

Nürburgring!

I was on holiday these days. These days, I spent some time playing my favourite online Truck games at www.monstertruckgames.org and I feel really relaxed. Today, I will write about the oldest and most historical circuit worldwide. A circuit 22.810 km long, built in the Eifel mountains, northwest of Frankfurt. The best lap time belongs to Niki Lauda, whose time was 6:58.6. Can you beat him?
3, 2, 1. Go! You start with a left bend after the starting line. You will see a crest on the initial breaking zone. This is serious danger to lose control of the vehicle, so break before or after the crest. It is better to turn in late here. Avoid any contact with the curb. 500 m away from the starting line, the first courage test is on.The famous Hatzenbach curve. Hatzenbach curve becomes more difficult as the engine power increases. This off-camber turn can turn your car unstable so ensure that your car is as more stable as possible. Very early acceleration will help keeping your car stable.
After an intense driving experience in Hatzenbach curve, you have to cope with one of the most difficult parts of Nürburgring, Hatzenbach-Geschlängel. It can be a snake in the grass. You can to approach this turn in two stages. Initially, you have to brake hard for a sec in the breaking zone at the end of the straight and then at the end of the first left-hand you have to slow down again for the long double right. Nightmare!
I will be back soon with some more turns of Nürburgring. Good luck.
