Even in today's modern safety orientated era, Nick Heidfeld commented 2 sections of the deadly Nordscheliffe really shook him when he took his BMW Sauber around the circuit that nearly claimed the life of Niki Lauda.

I would have loved to have seen that. The circuit is awesome, Heidfeld is a lucky and, given my own experience of that track, very brave driver.

Nice choice

I should think your current car would still be a pretty good drive though, pushing 200bhp in a fairly light car?

I'm thinking of taking a little road trip across Europe this summer too, but not sure that my car would get me there without falling apart
