Mercedes SLK R170 Touristenfahrten Nuerburgring Nordschleife 06.04.2022

My first and only lap in 2022 in an old Mercedes - Benz SLK R170 I took it easy because it was the first lap and the track felt quite greasy/green. The SLK was mostly stock, except foe the Exhaust. The SLK was a surprisingly good car to drive on the track. The only downside was the brake system. I had pads explode at Wehrseifen and Brakepedal to the metal at exit of Bellof S. (Not in this Video though) Pascal who is now at Auto Finesse helped me to get that fixed. \o So if you intent to use the SLK as Ringtool you should definetly upgrade the brakes. Other than that I was just wishing for stiffer/adjustable shocks and bigger wheels. I used Maxxis Premitra tyres and they worked fine. The automatic transmission did a great job of delivering the power smoothly. I was amazed how well the ESP in this car worked because it would still let you have some fun with doing Powerslides before it would ever so gently take away the power and work its magic. The older AMG test drivers would always tell me how much fun they had test driving the SLK back in the day at Hockenheim and I can see why that is. I sold the car later on because I just feel more at home in compact FF cars. Also a Roadster is not really practical when it is you only car.
