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.

I can hear those poor runflats protesting! Fantastic dialogue – wish we had the video to go with it.
awe, come on! let’s see it!
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.
Ahhh, let us suffer through it! You’re not looking for a film award!
accidentally hitting the off button?
I always said those “Gibbon-alike” fingers bigagsl has, only cause Problems…. 😉
btw. Nice to listen to your lap!
Excellent podcast – I want to drive it now! Great commentary by Axel, really makes you feel like you are there..
@markus
why do i not wonder, reading your comment? 🙂
Gabe, you didn’t carry on your OZ’s so you could try them on the Nordschleife???
I finally got to listen. Sounds like a lot of fun.
