BMW Motorrad Superbike rider Troy Corser and F1 driver Nick Heidfeld exchanged rides for a day event for fans and partners of the BMW Sauber F1 team at the Nürburgring circuit.
Heidfeld got a chance to ride the S1000RR that Corser races in the WSB series, while Corser tried his hand with the 700bhp F1 car.
Troy Corser:“It was just awesome! The car feels so balanced and the brakes are fantastic, the tyres have unbelievable grip and the steering is very direct but still has a lot of feeling.
I can’t believe how hard and late you can brake.
I know I was braking too early and I really would like to have a day or two with the car to really see what I can do with it.
I’d like to thank everybody involved in giving me this opportunity – and I hope I can do it again.
