Default The Ring, 28th of april, F1 car

The Nurburgring is to see a Formula 1 car in action for the first time in 31 years when BMW Sauber run its F1.07 on the Nordschleife as part of a celebration of BMW's racing heritage on the 28th April. Nick Heidfeld will drive the 12.9 mile circuit, and while officially it's not a record attempt, the 6miin 11sec set in 1983 by Stefan Bellof in a group C Porsche 956 might be under threat

Be interesting to see, but how would it cope going over the bumps on that one corner in the circuit?

I think it's the bit around the top which they are redoing - but it will probably be finished by then.

Driving around the top is for wips - if I was Nick I'd put the F1 stright into that corner who cares if something gets scrped - it's not his money is it.
