Notes:
- This was my 4th lap and also the slowest due to the large amounts of traffic and a yellow flag situation after Adenauer Forst -- around 3:48 into the video till 05:05.
- You can listen to me complaining about the traffic and two particular cars that did not want to be overtaken: The white Renault Clio (he doesn't lift to let me pass after Adenauer Forst even though I was clearly faster) and the Renault Megane Wagon (Using all the track and tried to close me when I was already on his side after the Carroussel -- that is when I rang the horn). In the video, due to lens distortion, you cannot really make how near I was to the cars in front, but trust me, I just chose not to attack and risk.
- The track is dangerous enough as is, so I don't get it why people "defend positions"... I had no problems to let cars that were remotely faster past me, but there were a lot of nutters that thought they were in a race... My number one objective was to drive home again in the same car I got there with so... no point in taking stupid risks. No awards at the end!
- The logging software went borked on me so I only managed to get logs for the last lap -- there are 3 other laps on video coming up soon, and all those are sub-10 min laps.
If you have video footage of my car, please let me know! :)
