And we could all be much faster on that long uphill section after Bergwerk if we had an extra 100bhp.
And that was on an easy lap.

Could manage 130 before Aremburg, 150 on the fast part before Karussell and 120 by the gantry.

Yup, the Kessel run (after bergwerk) the car feels like it's got about 120bhp, not 240.

There's your horses right there. I think 120 is max IIRC before the Karussel (aka kesselchen, aka the kessel run)
Only one "incident" out of the group I went with too. A mate crashed at Aremburg. 2500 Euro bill for the Armco

I do 130 before Aremberg (or before Schweidenkreuz or however it's spelt). But that's all about keeping your nerve over the blind crest at Quiddleback Hohe and nailing Flugplatz.
This ring talk is really not helping my withdrawl symptoms.

Schwedenkreuz.
Was in a Toyota Soarer and couldn't scrub the speed off over the crest. Think he said it was about 120 when the back steped out.
Scarily I went over it conciderably quicker the day before. Cheers to Chris @ CG, his setup kept me on the road.

Scary corner that, as you really don't want to slow down having reached a decent speed. That's one of the places where sanity takes over and I don't drive anywhere near 100%.
There's a video somewhere of an MR2 crashing there.
