nice agressive start from MS , easy overtake on button at 35seconds in and a good overtake on petrox at around 2mins in

Looks doubtfull we will be going back to the Nurburgring for F1. Its also doubtfull over whether Hockenheim can afford to keep their race. Potentially no German GP after next year? Real shame.

I love the 97 spec Hockenhiem shame we can't go back to that

1/4 of the grid german, I think we will still be going there. Not places that really interest me track wise but they don't seem to have problems selling tickets so that suggests to lose so much money someone is taking too much away.

Any other German tracks up to FIA F1 standard?

i vote for 25 laps of the proper ring.

This. They stopped such things due to saftey reasons, but in modern day F1 with its air ambulances and millions up on millions of pounds etc.. They could easily put on a race, and it would be fabulous.

just adapt the track so that it has a 2nd pit lane incase of a puncture.

Not a chance, poor Jenson complains about balance with 15 corners, his head would explode with the old ring

I would love to see a modern F1 car whip round there even just for show

Unfortunately this is probably the closest we'll get to a modern Nordschleife F1 race

Thanks for that I've never seen that before

Now that's awesome, must take some big ones to full throttle around there.

I bet a normal race set up 2011 F1 car would be sliding over the floor through most of a lap of that, wouldn't want to be near Hamilton at the carousel

I'm going for crashing. It must be far to rough and bumpy for a modern f1 car.

Yeah no doubt, that's what I mean when I said I think a race spec F1 car would just totally bottom out, I love watching laps of the Ring though, one day I'll go there myself

race edit is up.
