Saw it yesterday... That's the exit of Ex-Mühle. Those of you who have ever been on the Ring or have experience with sims like GTR2, will know that the exit of that corner is notorious for oversteer, even on dry tarmac. Let alone when it's raining and your tires are still cold...

Yep, there's also this entrance that you saw in the video, but I don't know if it's always open to public.
Dani, please remember this video when you're driving on the Ring (Ex-Mühle = very gentle with your right foot)...

BTW, the same goes for "Eschbach" and the corner after "Brünnchen"... typical oversteer-corners.

YW guys

If you're interested in learning the basics of the Ring, you may find the next instruction video interesting. Although it's from a racing-sim (GT Legends) and they're driving the track in it's old configuration, it's still quite entertaining to watch...

Yeah that's what I like about it. It may be just a sim, but it seems to be pretty accurate and proper real-life Ring-guide vids are harder to find.
