Sabine Schmitz ain’t got... 😂 First time driving on the Nurburgring and as you can tell I’m visibly terrified and laser focused haha. We had two laps in the brand new 2019 Hyundai Veloster N - 275 HP hatch weighing around 3100 lbs. Our second lap was 10:01, which I know to many sounds like an eternity, but for my first time out there it was a stressful pace haha (we’re running lead follow). For reference, Jeremy Clarkson did it in 10 minutes with the diesel Jag, and the queen of the ‘ring Sabine did it in 10:08 in a transit van. I did two laps in Forza 4 before coming out here (two laps is plenty to learn a 13 mile track, right?) in the Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8L and my second lap was just under 10 minutes. So to get anywhere near that in this car in real life, I was shocked haha. As far as the Veloster N, it’s hard to give impressions based on a track drive because I’m focused mainly on not crashing, but I will say I was surprised by the relatively low amount of understeer, and also how well the lsd put power down to the front tires without much fuss coming out of corners. This thing is fun and capable, but I’ll have a better impression tomorrow after the road drive. Can’t believe I was on THE ring!!!
