I didn't know the the carousel was a three racing line corner.
man that is some crazy stuff.
I wonder if that is the infamous ring mini?
Looks Like Sabine is driving the tires off the ring taxi.

I just read an article where a magazine got a EVO VIII were thrashing it around the ring. Cool article, and looks like a really cool place to drive.

They also had some stuff on that female that drives the taxi - awesome stuff.

pretty weird that I would read that, then all the sudden a picture of it. (atleast I thought it was

)

That's not the big "Karussell" but the small one (at the end of each lap) aka "Schwalbenschwanz". Yes that is the Ringmini and I guess Sabine in the taxi...

You'll love it when you're here again and drive on the Ring... just make your car a bit quieter. :wink:

Rob: It really IS a cool place to drive... one lap is 13 miles long!

I'm sure that it's great fun driving there, but what happens when you go 3 wide in a curve and someone starts to lose it? :shock:

Will their insurance cover any damage done to your car? I know that this is a race track, but still. Or is the risk of that happening minor?

I've been away too long . But I would bet money that is the carousel. Memory goes fast when you turn 40.

I was just about to ask whether or not that was a girl driving the bimmer!!! Sweet.. So, do you pay to ride with her or what?

SSZ28: It completely depends on the insurance... some will pay, some won't. At least for damages you do to your OWN car. ALL will pay for damages that happen to OTHER cars and vice versa. BTW, most accidents (> 99% I guess) there do NOT occur between several cars...

Jack: Yes, you pay 130 Euro for one lap and up to 3 passengers. You can also pay 250 Euro for one lap and only 1 passenger in a Viper taxi.

Roy: The big Karussell does not have a red-white curb on the inside.
