2006 European GP Technical Review
Craig Scarborough analyses the technical updates seen at the Nurburgring
After the point-and-squirt nature of Imola, the fifth round of the championship moved to the more flowing Nurburgring circuit, host of the European Grand Prix - although the track is anything but the typical fast flowing European track.
The track is tightly packed with a sequence of corners - some of which are longer and faster sequences; but it is primarily distinguished by slower corners. This places the track on the high downforce end of the scale, in order for the cars to grip in the tighter corners; but mechanical grip is also critical, albeit on a smoother and relatively kerb-free track in comparison to Imola.
