Thoughts on Ex Muhle

[DuncanR]

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Over the past few years one or two cars have come to grief exiting this bend, and I started wondering why, in particular 2 incidents spring to mind involving the same type of car, this may of course just be incidental but its what started me off.
The question is, why can you bung a car around that bend time and again, pretty much in the same place, then come round one time, and have a problem, well, how about this for an idea, bearing in mind the bad camber and hump on the inside line at this corner. The filling station at Breidsheid is a popular one, particularly for anyone with a JK, so .... quite a few cars get back on there, with full tanks, go uphill, and then throw a hard right, possible fuel spill area for some ?? your thoughts !
Some interesting vids from my research !

It was the scene of a big oil spill on the thursday, plus like you say how many people actually hit that particular apex???? I know its not the one I'd put a bet on hitting

Shame about the guy who on one wheel went past her died later that day after falling off on an oil spill.

BMW's Jorg Muller's comment on Ex-Muhle :- No sooner have you mastered the lowest point of the Nordschleife in Breidscheid than you are literally catapulted back upwards: the right hand Ex Muhle takes you around the hill as if on a ramp. The task here is to find the optimum entry speed: if you overdo it, you understeer and slide up onto the high curb, if you are too catious, you will hardly make it up the steep climb, especially with a less powerful car.

Approach Ex Muhle to the left of the track, give only a short, hard stab of the brakes and keep close to the inside curb at the apex. Beware: at the exit, front wheel drive vehicles will tend to understeer heavily, rear wheel drive cars will oversteer - be sure to accelerate early and cleanly but never too hard.
