Man, they're all wearing clothes off "Love Thy Neighbour"! I didn't realise people had money to throw away on crashing their cars back then.

Its a nasty section for those who don't know the circuit that one

Very fast downhill set of sweepers
followed by fast uphill left and right, the left
then you come over the crest, still turning left and can see the straight ahead of you.
However, to get to it first the left hander tightens right up before a tight right hander looms

First time we went there I'd warned my Dad (after researching on the net) to watch out for Adenaur forst.
So what does he do?
The classic mistake as he comes over the brow!!!

Luckily they've now replaced that gravel trap with that concrete holey stuff that allows the grass to grow through so he went straight on over that

Honestly, old people, you just can't tell them anything can you?
