The North part of the Nurburgring (Forest racetrack) is best driven not by letting the front wheels drifting (that will increase lap times) but by ensuring a smooth transition between corners (the track has 150 turns, after all). So braking and acceleration has to be seamless, not aggressive. It's the car that's making up the times, you just optimising the way the car does its work. Easy stuff. Not!

It's NOT easy. I guess now this Megane R26.R can be called 'Lord of the 'Ring'! That’s really cool I’ve tried Nurburgring on my friends Playstation. It’s NOT easy.

A lot of aggressive wheel turning to achieve front wheels drifting. Godlike grip also for R26.R. This is awesome :)
