    Fantastic lap! Great driving! This lap proves that it's not about the power of the car on the Nurburgring but mantaining the momentum with fast cornering speed and driving smoothely. Very tricky situation at the Belloff SS!

    ND and NC are two excellent platforms. Both, with the right development, are absolutely enjoyable. As for the differences, the NC is a little heavier and has more wheelbase. This makes it a bit more stable in fast sections. Choose the one you like best. You won't go wrong! 😉

I am really interested to buy one as a summer car, just need to drive a real one first to see if its really this good as I think it is. :) only thing in the sim is that 6th gear seems to be fuel saver gear? like if I put it in 6th gear at 05:30 in the video, it starts to slow down so I just am about to redline the 5th instead :)
