BMW E53 X5 4.6IS On Board Lap Of Nordschleife Nürburgring Bridge To Gantry 10th September 2012 - YouTube
This was my first ever track day and when watching it back I find parts in the video where I wish I kept the throttle down instead of letting off. This could be down to me not knowing the track I suppose but mann its soooo long.
Does anyone have a experience of The Ring?
Anyone have track experience in general can you give me any tips/advice about my driving. Did I take the right lines etc?
Thanks

Your video made my day. Absolutely fantastic. 
If you are looking to really learn the ring, get in touch with RSR Nurburg. They host trackdays at both the ring and Spa. Ron Simmons is the owner. Great guy. It takes about 100 laps to remember the track, and about 1000 laps to really have it down. The minute you lose respect for the track is the time it bites--keep that in mind.  The bikers there are also very aggravating--extreme tunnel vision. Just because you're in their mirror doesn't mean they see you.
