Nurburgring 2009

Dave-Ellen · July 20, 2009

much as I love the place its getting very expensive.
fuel to get there / hotels...........you really want a 4 lap ticket mounts up....

probably get 2 full track days over here for what you pay....

howver will still probably go !

A track day around a very small track @ RAF base is just not the same :o i can see why you like it mind ..... its cheap :P

think i've done more track days and trips to the ring than you old boy

hope to see you at the ring at the weekend as my car should be ready for wednesday

BTW its not a track day you refer to its a competition there are places available so you can always bring your lexus along to show me how its done.............

think the phrase is "put that in your pipe and smoke it" if you go once a year to the nurburging for 2 laps max then maybe its a cheap option.................if you do it more often at varying locations then hey ho

Nothing to say then Gord ????????????????????????

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm thought so

Well yes Dave i do, the only time i can last was what against ? your 420bhp aristo ? or all the other more powerful cars of the day, but i seem to remember doing rather well the last time in went to such a track day big old German slug i think you once called it ? seem to remember getting much better times than your 370bhp lexus

I did note, you not said you came last in the time attack series or anything else you may or may not have entered

Nice to see you can respond....

tis a shame coming last but at least you tried................and your car was not the least powerful you were spanked by a 67 bhp Toyota Aygo but hey ho think you had more than double the BHP

Regarding Time Attack..................At least I entered ...in a road going car fully trimmed but again hey ho (may have ago next year in the Soarer and if last then will admit defeat)

Also was never last in TSS indeed 10th overall at Teesside i believe

Last event with your german barge was in the wet at barkston when 4wd does give a bit of a helping hand .......think you were 2,5 seconds faster which is not that much all in all..............however

Hope to see you this weekend...will give you a copy of the letter you keep texting me about :winky:

Ay my mate sent that to me today.

price is a bit steep. £49 would be a better price, £100 for the weekend.

Gord · July 28, 2009

Well we all back, safe and sound :D even seen a Lexus is350 @ the ring :o good time was had by all :D

Some of the lads even went around (not driving) in a GT3 RS :o B)

Dimitris Papamichail · July 28, 2009

Glad to hear you had a good time Gord

oedipus · July 28, 2009

I had a super time at the Nordschleife. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to talk to all of you guys and check out your cars in detail. Loved that Electric Orange ST and the lovely S200000000000... :shutit: . But I did get the occasion to meet up with Stav and his legendary TT. Man, what a sound! I thought my car was loud with the Blueflame. Couldn't hear it for a second when I drove behind you for the lap! Excellent! If only we could do such engine swaps in Belgium. (To compare: it took me 6 months to get my Eibach prokit approved here. :duh:)

Next time, I really MUST experience your drive from the inside of your car! :winky:

For very good pictures go and click on "Bilder" (=pictures) on this topic (posts 259, 265 & repeated in 268):
