Nordschleife

Nürburgring muda a vida das pessoas. Das pessoas que tiveram a oportunidade de pilotar lá, quero dizer. Profunda e irreversivelmente, é o que parece.

Fico imaginando se a descarga de adrenalina acima do normal comum à primeira andada em qualquer circuito não ajuda a decorar o approach das 154 curvas do traçado no formato atual dessa pista.

A ver, isso, ainda nessa encarnação e de preferência à bordo de um BMW. Pode ser de quatro cilindros, até.

L.O., degustador profissional de automóveis manda a dica deste blog. Paddy McGrath, o cara que escreveu o texto, alega não encontrar palavras na sua língua nativa pra descrever o local.

A ver isso, também.

De todo modo, tem várias fotos legais e um pouco da história da meca dos petrol heads.

Update

(na pressa esqueci de transcrever a melhor parte do texto do cara)


"Throughout the course of the N24, I spoke with as many people I could about the impact the 'ring has on you'. Nine times out of ten, people could do nothing but exhale and shake their head. We can only try to convey the Nordschleife to you, but if you to know what its really like, you need to come here and pay homage to the automotive Gods.


You should probably do this sooner rather than later too. Although Rod doesn´t agree with me, I honestly believe that the public being allowed access to the Nordschleife are coming to an end. Don´t get me wrong, if this happens it will be one of the greatest injustices to ever be carried out on the automotive world. It´s just that in this health and safety world gone mad, it´s only a matter of time before some Prius driving do-gooder tries to get the place shut down. It´s too dangerous they´ll say. It´s hurting the environment they´ll cry. You just know it´ll be the same people who move next to a race circuit which has been in place for many years before and then complain about the noise."


Irado isso, diria minha filha.
