MF Podcast: The R56 on the Nurburgring

Sections: Podcast | R56 (Hatch) Jun 19th, 2007 18 Comments

One full lap of the Nurburgring Nordschleife in a 2007 R56 MCS. Gabe is driving with Axel (of MINI2.info fame) giving out pace notes and seasoned Nordschleife advice. This was taken from an original (motion sickness inducing) video that was deemed a little too rough for publication. But I think you’ll find the audio a nice substitute.

Thats sounds like a lot of fun Gabe, Alex was great as a addition to the audio stream.

you can’t hold still the cam. the g-force is to high and the ring to bumpy. so the video is very shaky. just imagine: accidentally i hit the off-button of the cam jumping out of the Karussel with gabe accelerating hard. luckily i found the on-button before the next bend Hohe Acht ;-)

Maybe you could create a “Too Rough” video and audio podcast folder with viewer beware disclaimer.
