There's a good reason why it's one of the (if not the) most iconic corner(s) in the world!!
Performance is rarely discovered within your comfort zone.
The only comfort zone you should aim for is the one that comes from knowing you gave it everything.
No excuses, no shortcuts.

With that low of performance points and almost a sub 7 min lap (definitely possible) this car really is a unicorn in my garage. Don't be fooled by the long gears; it's not a pp thing, it's a stability and power band thing.

It was all hands on deck with this one.
A very short wheelbase with 960hp is a recipe for disaster so the countersteering was strong to unveil the true potential of the car.

At the high speed Metzgesfeld corner, brake lightly just before the inside kerbstones to quickly change the direction of the car. Start braking as you are exiting out of the corner, and enter the sharp left which follows. Clip the apex at the far end of the corner, and exit in a straight line out of the following right hand corner.
Kallenhard is a right hand hairpin on a descent. Brake using the sign on the left as your cue, and set your apex far into the corner. Brake using the sign on the left as your cue, and again set your apex far into the corner. For the left-right S, make full use of the banks to pass through at full throttle. For the long right hand corner that follows, decelerate in the straight line, then keep the inside line when you go through.
Wehrseifen is the slowest corner on the Nordschleife. Stay on the inside at the first right hand corner, and brake in a straight line while keeping to the inside. At the next left hand corner, change your car's direction using the brakes. Go through the center of the track and once you see the apex, gradually increase the throttle. Try to accelerate out of the next right hand corner as straight as possible.

Fuchsröhre is a section with long consecutive corners on a steep descent. Connect the apexes of each corner as you drive through. Passing through Langestrecke at the bottom of the descent flat out, the course now becomes uphill. The left turn at the top of the hill has kerbstones that can make your car jump if you drive over them at the wrong angle. Make sure to only go over the kerbstones at a shallow angle.
Adenauer Forst is a section with a series of low speed corners. On the first right hand corner, keep to the inside without driving over the kerbstone. For the left corner where the latter half becomes tighter, turn in using the crosswalk painted on the road surfaces as your cue. Clip the apex at the far end of the corner. Watch out for the tall kerbstones at the right hand corner. These kerbstones are tall on both sides, and can make the car unstable if you drive over them in 2nd gear.

Going from a jumping spot to the high speed right hand corner of Flugplatz, you want to either let of the throttle slightly using the side road on the outer side as you cue, or you can "gamble" and try turning flat out which is possible but only if your turning point is perfectly timed. While cornering, steer carefully in order to avoid exceeding the gripping capacity of the front tyres. Set your line to connect the two kerbstones on the inside in an arc.
Schwedenkreuz is a high speed left at the end of the straight. It contains a bump in its turn that can cause understeer and force you off the track, so keep the inside line of the corner. Aremberg is a right hand corner which has a large escape zone on the outer side. Using the end of the outer kerbstones as your marker, brake in a straight line. Because this is on a downward incline, be wary of overspeeding. Use the bank on the inside of the corner, and accelerate out of the corner smoothly.

The first corner of the Nürburgring Nordschleife is Nordkehre, a downward descent that requires proper deceleration. Turn tight around the corner, setting your apex on the far side of the turn to raise your exit speed. At the exit, be mindful of the kerbstones as driving over them will disrupt your car's balance.
Once past the first corner, a series of mid to high speed corners follow. It's important to maintain a high speed throughout this section. For the first high speed right hand corner, go flat out in a large arc. Be wary of the tall kerbstones on the inside.
Hatzenbach is an S-bend that turns right-left-right. Set your apex far into the turn to get ready for the next corner, and connect your driving line smoothly. Utilize the wide kerbs here to pass through the corner at the shortest possible distance.
Hocheichen will affect your top speed on the flat out section leading up to Flugplatz through Quiddelbacher-Hohe, so you need to raise your top speed on the flat out section as much as you can. Reduce your speed properly for the first right and make a tight turn around it, then go around the following left corner in a loose arc and accelerate out.
