Blind corners and hardcore G-forces make the AMP circuit like a mini Appalachian Nürburgring. I’ve driven on some of the world’s fastest and most challenging circuits and this one really surprised me. It has one of the longest, fastest corners I’ve ever tackled – you can take it flat, just, but probably not every lap. As for the twisty stuff, it’s FULL ON.
The helmet camera couldn’t cope LOL and flew off into the footwell so you’ll have to settle for a birdseye view which doesn’t do justice to the vision in the cockpit or the activity inside haha.. Most of these corners are blind. If you don’t have a plan before you arrive, you’re going off.
I loved the track and the racers that inhabit the place – the Praga R1 was exceptional. We set it up just right with enough mechanical grip in the sharper corners, with a consistent balance for that insanely long high speed sequence. More to come 😊 1min 15.29 seconds
