The route hits several spots to indulge in the state food of Indiana, the tenderloin.  There is a charity event tomorrow involving said food and the route called the Tire Squeal.

You haven't spent much time at the ring, the terrible drivers is why they call it green hell.

One interesting thing I've noted about Touristfahrten videos is that everybody keeps right and passes left.  Everybody.

It's central Indiana.  They still use concrete for cryin' out loud.   It's not like they get frost heaves so bad that they have to use asphalt because asphalt is cheaper to repave every five years.

Part of that route is about 25 minutes from me. There are some decent driving roads there. It's pretty wooded with some decent elevation change (still Indiana, we're not talking Pikes Peak here). I'd compare it more to driving on The Tail of the Dragon than hustling around the 'Ring but it's cool that it exists.

You know what you call a Kentuckian on his way to Chicago and his car broke down? A Hoosier

I have seen nothing classy in Indiana in any of my visits. As such I think I fit in pretty well.

You must have watched videos when the French were stuck at work.  Both times I got stuck behind a car, in the left lane, with a left blinker wrong (I.e. completely backwards to the way it should be), it was an French plate car.

But, that was ~5 years ago, so maybe it’s gotten better?
