VIDEO // WALTER ROHRL RUNS THE RING BACKWARDS

Courtesy of our friends at Axis of Oversteer, enjoy more than ten minutes of thrilling on-board footage with Walter Rohrl, as he laps the Nurburgring's Nordschleife, backwards. The footage, according to John Felstead, "starts on the public road, it exits that onto a narrow link road that brings you onto the Nordschleife at the start of the Dottinger Hohe straight, at the exit of Galgenkopf. He then drives the majority of the Nordschleife, the footage ending at the exit of Anteniusbuche where the Dottinger Hohe straight ends, so the footage is just missing the Dottinger Hohe straight. Out of a potential 20.8km, you see 19.5km of the circuit going backwards." Brilliant! // [comment]
