Re: Strap in and hold on.....
The more of these "Ring" videos you see you wonder how it is (probably a testament to driver's skills/luck/?) that there aren't more people killed (estimated 3-12 people die during "public days"/year) every year.
So many blind turns--taken at speed--that you could come up on a tour bus or motorcycle ( as this video shows) in a blink of an eye.

Here's a link to one of my favorite "ring" drives--a race involving a Viper and a GT3; the first time I saw it I saw leaning in the turns and squirming every time that GT3 cut in front of the Viper--great racing :):
