BMW M3 at the Nurburgring

O.K, we'll admit yesterday's coverage was a little preoccupied with the course of all courses, die Nürburgring.   If that's helped to convince yourself you deserve a trip out to Nürburg to ride the 'Ring, have we got a tour guide for you.  Produced in partnership with BMW is Sport Auto's "The Nordschliefe Line" - an awesome guide to tackling the infamous course.



Nearly 25 of 28 pages within the publication surround the best way to tackle the Green Hell, as deemed by Jörg Müller, a BMW Works driver in the World Touring Car Championship.  Rather than give vague information, Müller dissects the track into sections, and further details particular areas that may prove troublesome or of interest.  Are you more of a visual learner?  No worries; an ideal racing line that also illustrates brake points, turn-ins, and ideal gear selections is also included.

Given the level of detail, we wouldn't recommend using this in-car on your own as you try to tackle the Gesamtstrecke.  Perhaps weeks of devoted study, practice on GT5, or having a navigator recite directions would be better options.
