About Flugplatz

Notes

There’s a bridge [9:54:09] right after the start of the video. Steer towards the middle of the bridge (Quiddlebacher Höhe sign) to line you up for Flugplatz.
“Flugplatz” means “place of flight.” This is the quick uphill near the beginning. Cars going at speed get very light (or airborne) here [9:53:20 - light]. umm... try not to turn if you’re in the air.
Immediately after uphill is a double-apex right-hander. Apex a bit wide in the beginning, keep your arc, and apex the second half.
There’s a few turns and some hills, After a bit, you’re actually gaining quite a bit of speed heading into Schwedenkreuz (Swedish Cross - 9:54:59), the left-hander towards the end. This can be deceiving. It should be an easy turn, but I’ve known of some people really losing it here (rollovers).

Lift off the gas or do some moderate braking (depending on your speed) as you turn left and set yourself up for Armberg. It looks like I’m early apexing this corner-- don’t do that.
Armberg is a tight turn. There’s quite a bit of braking for this right-hander, and the turn-in [9:55:12 - my early turn in] and apex [9:55:16 - apex] are both very late. I think I early apexed this one, too. Go figure.
