This past Saturday morning I decided to hit the Nordschleife under similar lighting/weather as my area had then.


I'm glad I did, The Racing Gods blessed me with a great drive.

They call it the Green Hell.


I don't believe that, it's a hardened-heaven if anything.
 
Beautiful, loving how the hood looks neat in the first & last one of the Ford GT and s15 silvia respectively. :drool:
 
Mark Webber is returning to sports car racing, this time with Porsche in 2014 and new safety features!


Porsche LMP1 Prototype 2014 Nürburgring Nordschleife by Metalsun1, on Flickr​

Back in 1955, Mercedes-Benz crashed at Le Mans with devastating results, the factory stopped racing there until 1998 where they flipped and crashed again in 1999 with Mark Webber, never to return. Porsche flipped their GT1 in 1998 at Road Atlanta, later tried to fix it but stopped racing in the top-tier, LMP1, category…until next year. This is a shot of Mark Webber in the new 2014 Porsche LMP1 prototype undergoing certification testing at the “Ring”. Extreme precautions have been taken, so just in case life repeats itself, Porsche has prepared an ejection seat. Since he and Porsche have had some flight experience it should be an easy fit.
Disclosure: This Porsche is an un-edited photo from the web. It was announced a couple of months ago that Mark Webber will leave the F1 Red Bull team to drive Porsche prototypes. I am poking a little fun at Mark Webber, so, no whining.
