One of the more dangerous sections of track, a twin apex corner, is known as the "Flugplatz" due to it's ability to upset the suspension on even the best set-up cars.

Well, they have redeemed themselves and done so in an amazing way. The following documentary is 28 minutes of extremely well edited and produced video that shows just what goes into preparing a car and team for the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
