Ever wondered how a DeLorean would fare on the most demanding racetrack in the world? Well as I was driving past it on the way to Austria, I thought I'd find out - and make a film about it whilst I was there!

My kind of thread. We have a crazy good place to go drive cars here in the usa called Tail of the Dragon. But I am too scared to take my delroean and always take my miata during the yearly trip for "miatas at the gap". Ima watch your video right now!

Tail of the Dragon is a ton of fun! Easy to get sideways though.... On one of the hairpins my DeLorean did a 180 and I almost lost it!Originally Posted by Riley88

Awesome thread, reminds me of all the time I spent playing Gran Turismo 4 on PS2 when I was in college.

The Ring is one item I regret not doing when I was in Germany. Even to just be a passenger on it would be great. The Tail of the Dragon is very fun. I got sideways a few times, wife punched me for it too :-). But the dragon is slow training wheels compared to the ring.
