Скачать или смотреть Nordschleife BTG Fiat Panda - Chase cam - 28.04.2019

This was my 5th trip to the ring, and the 4th time I was going in my Panda, which will probably also be the last :'( This was lap 4/4 and the BTG time was 10:36.

This was the lap that I dared the most, and more than once the back end let go. My good friend Thomas http://tiny.cc/9gj96y was kind enough to sacrifice a lap to stay behind and film me.

I also included footage from Auto Addiction in the youtube corners. Thanks again for including me :) http://tiny.cc/wfj96y

The car had new wider tires with a lover profile, mounted on bigger, much heavier wheels with a lot smaller offset, which all made it behave a lot different.
It was slower than ever before, but I got so much more grip in the corners, that the suspension became an even bigger limiting factor.
It is seriously under sprung and under dampened, which made for a very wallowy ride, with unpredictable handling at times. It is definitely not a race car, but it it very fun to race it non the less.
The extra grip also meant that I could rarely heal and toe for down shifts, as the completely flat seat did not hold me at all, so I had to keep my foot against the pedals to be able to press myself into the seat, as well as hanging on for dear life by the steering wheel, while trying to steer.
It was a bit like a rodeo ride on a small but feisty pony.
