    Welcome to round 3 of the 74 Porsche Way Back Series!
    Round 3 takes us from the flat-out 72' Imola
    to the intricate Nurburgring Sudschleife, the abandoned southern loop of
    The legendary Nordschleife!
    This will be a true test of nerves and skill as drivers must navigate
    around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel mountains.
    Tucked away in the shadow of the famed Nordschleife, the Nürburgring's lesser-known counterpart,
    the Südschleife, holds tales of racing's bygone era.
    Dive into the twisted turns of this forgotten loop, where motorsport history met its evolution.
    Where echoes of a once-thriving track still resonate.

    No practice for me as I don't yet own the track (waiting for a Steam sale on the DLC :)), so not expecting to do so well.

    I practiced about 1 hour for it doing timetrials and learning track.
    Probably would need couple more hours to squeeze little bit but pace was great and race was awesome until i had 3 laps of horror:
    - Hit Wall [x]
    - Hit that silly concrete spear that they called "a kerb" in T2 [x]
    - Spin car [x]
    Start of race was super fun and challenging, just coulndt hold it together.

    :cool: That was some much fun and pushing for that ever faster lap was intense :eek: When I had done what I thought was my best, a 256.7 and decided to cool it, things got really hairy!!! I had a blast. Thank you SRO for a tremendously FUN :p:D:cool:;):) AMS2 series.

    I owe big apologies to Oli (I think it was) after clipping the outside kerb a bit on the exit of T1, which put my car broadside across the track. I tried to quickly reverse out of the way as I knew he was coming up behind, but of course in these situations we both connected in the same bit of track. My car ended up attached to the front of his and it took a while before we both separated again. Another error later on the same lap resulted in my car being stuck on top of the fence with no chance to get it off, so ESC was the order of the day.

    A tough track to get a handle on with so little practice, but felt I was almost there when it came time to race. But generally me and Porsche 911 variants just don't go together so I wasn't surprised to go out.

    No problem Ken, these things happen, its a tricky track this one. But yep that was a weird one, I think you ended up on my roof for a bit and then seemed to get caught on the bumper. Looked like you had damage when you got going though so not surprised it went pear shaped :)

    Was getting a lot quicker and was hopeful for a reasonable finish position in race. I spun first lap puting me behind Phil. Sorry Phil for contact out of last corner. Finished in the pits.:(
