i know it's a racing technique, but the article is about driving-techniques in general, that's why I said it...
about nr4, I always thought Trail-braking was the summum of driving-techniques? I still don't alway succeed in games, haven't had the balls yet to try it IRL :p Hamilton is a huge fan of it though...
Anything road-legal is indeed allowed, most rental-companies specifically state you can't take their cars on the 'Ring.
indeed, that's what my brother paid for his BMW 850i last year :-) ( 5L V12! )
hearthclick for fellow countryman :-)
"Klootzak" ( ball-sack literally )
"Hey Pa, de flikken hebben mijn auto afgepakt, kunt ge mij nen nieuwen geven?"
I actually like that part of the design, because in front of your wheel is only a huge RPM-meter, which is basically all you need on a track ;-)
mopeds & scooters rule:
yeah, if this is not on the top-spot, I'd be very dissapointed in Jalopnik...
I'll ask the main questions that Top Gear tried to get answered for the Leaf and Peugeot:
Even though I'm only 29, I learned to drive in a Toyota Landcruiser from '78, didn't have ABS and I drove it through lots of snow, ice and mudd during my driver-training ( takes 6 months here ), it trained me how to brake, accelerate and do stuff 'the right way'.

Totally agree, roundabouts rule!
Yeah, it kinda looks like the mule they had racing in the 9th VLN Langstreckemeistershaft at the Nurburgring a few weeks back ( see pic ).
I live in Belgium at about 2/3hrs from the track, depending on construction works on A4/61/1 :-)
yes that was me, yeah I know what you mean, of all the people that showed interest in the end only 3 people showed up for the campingground ( 2 from the US, 1 from Germany ). We had a great time though and sprayed Jalopnik.com on the track to celebrate us being there :-)
