The List: The List #0073: Drive the Nürburgring
Filed under: Videos, BMW, The List
Any trip to the automotive mecca of Germany would not be complete without a visit to the famed Nürburgring, nor would a list called 1,001 Automotive Things To Do Before You Die. Thus, we've reached the whole point of Jessi and Patrick's trip to Germany: Drive the Nürburgring.
Many prior episodes of The List have prepared J and P for what's required of them to lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife successfully without shunting the BMW M3 they picked up earlier, but we felt they needed a little more schooling. After having them read up on The Green Hell and memorize its corners in simulators, the final instruction came from the Queen of the 'Ring herself, Sabine Schmitz, who was gracious enough to give our hosts a tour of the track. Unfortunately, the M3 couldn't hold up to a single lap's worth of Sabine's driving skills, but don't fault the car: The Nürburgring has 73 turns, is 12.8-miles long and changes nearly 1,000 feet in elevation.
Watch Jessi and Patrick conclude their Germany trip below by lapping the Nürburgring. If you've got your idea for The List, submit it by clicking the Your List link below.

Ferrari ‘must focus on itself in finale’
Ferrari's only focus in Brazil will be on doing the best job it can, without thinking of worst-case scenarios for Sebastian Vettel, says team boss Stefano Domenicali. Red Bull driver Vettel goes into this weekend's finale with a 13-point advantage over Fernando Alonso after they finished second and third in the United States Grand Prix on Sunday. The Spaniard would be champion if he wins the race and Vettel finishes outside the top four, if he is second and Vettel is outside the top seven, or if Alonso is third and Vettel finishes 10th or lower.
Backmarker problems predicted in USGP
Teams predict that backmarkers will play a key part in the United States Grand Prix, with the high-speed section from Turns 3 to 9 allowing little room to overtake. Several times during practice, faster cars became caught behind slower traffic in this section, with Sergio Perez hitting Charles Pic at Turn 7 on Saturday morning. Pedro de la Rosa, whose HRT was almost 5.5 seconds off Sebastian Vettel's pole position time in qualifying, believes that the speed differential will be difficult to manage in that section of the track.
