Terry,
In my experience, the "Ring" is actually pretty smooth in comparison to Summit. The original Carousel and the "mini" Carousel are a bit rough and unchanged (concrete). Unlike our tracks they built the foundation extremely well. The biggest challenge on the Nurburgring is elevation changes and very late apexes (over 70 of them). From the couple of times I drove a 7 GT3 (yours included thank you), I thought the power was intoxicating and easily a handful. If I had the chance again, I think I would try and push the PASM system with hot corner entry and little or no exit throttle. I think the system is so well designed that if driven correctly, it is faster on than off. I don't think slow in fast out works well with the massive reserve power the car has. Kenny experienced this when Chris drove his car at Tbolt. More entry, more apex speed and no acceleration required till the corner was basically completed. Anyways, I think the GT3 is an awesome car and I enjoy seeing them out there tearing up the track. I am not sure I would be comfortable really pushing one hard at the speeds they can go.
