A Superb Piece of Driving

She probably passed more in one lap than an entire season of F1

She is not called Queen of the Nordschleife for nothing...

And it's raining!!

She didn't WANT to pass all those cars - she HAD to (they were in her way). In her mind her (fast) car is 'up ahead' somewhere (ie: it's 'shadow') and she is trying to catch up with it. Rain or no rain. You do what you have to do. You get paid to drive. But it takes talent and skill to do it - most drivers would of crashed already - she has good instincts (what to do and what to NOT do = 'Yes/NO' decisions). She also has the reflexes of a cat! And if they won't move out of your way, then you bump them and then they will move - 'Move It or Lose It'. Love the video.

Holy Stuff! It'll be awhile before I can get my lower jaw back in place. I just watched the entire video. THAT is one piece of driving. Thanks for the post. I'll re-view it again, might be good for picking up some driving skills, it's a tough trip around town sometimes.

HAH! That's just normal Philadelphia rush hour driving.

Question - Do they have GPS for sim racecars?

[napamule]

Yes you can have GPS in Sim (FS9/FSX) cars as it's part of the panel so you can install it. Trouble is the range (20 nm) is too far to be useful. You need to see 5 city block radius (aprox 1/2 mile). American Truck Sim DOES have that type of GPS. You 'file' a 'flight plan' before hand and use it to make it to your delivery point / site with ATS showing you exits, turns, etc just like a real Garmin you might install in your own vehicle (real).

For Sim (and not wanting to mess with the panel) I open a window with '[' key, right click on window and pick 'Outside/Top Down' and zoom in. You can resize the window and mouse drag it to a corner. And if you are at 10,000 ft and it's 100% overcast you can SEE THROUGH clouds and find your airport or grass strip. I also use it when driving on Sim roads so I can see where the curves are up ahead (which I can't see due to hills or terrain). The latter is the easiest and most practical solution once you learn how to use it. Keep The Shiny Side Up.
