I Tried . . . And Failed

[GM]

Seeing I had lots off spare time I thought I should attempt to drive around the ring in a Mercesdes patent motor wagen.
Avraging 8 mph I was thinking lots off spare time wasnt enough as I reached the first turn after around 40 seconds.
I was'nt giving up until I reached the series off straights and light turns, after 10 and a half minuites I approached a small hill, and rolled back down.

So if your wondering if its possible to drive the ring in a patent wagen, your answer is, It is'nt.

I think it could be possible if you have muuuuuuuuuuuch time round about some weeks
I also came until this hill with both 1886 cars. You can come on top if you drive to forward and backward but this takes much time.

There is a few tricks I have read about. You can go in reverse up the hills If I´m not mistaken (strange, but hey...), and hitting the handbrake momentarily lets you freeroll downhill, thus having more speed coming to an uphill section. Another trick is to do deep zigzags going uphill.
I haven´t tried this myself yet, but I will eventually get to the Mercedes cars in the list. I´m testing all cars in their order in the manufacturerlist, and is currently on Honda...
