Nurburgring This Weekend

///M.aster · 04-21-2011, 09:27 AM

Hi Fellow Forum Buddies,

I'm off to the 'Ring early in the morning and was wondering if anybody else was venturing over...
Weather is looking good and the track is open all day Fri, Sat and Sun! Be nice to bump into and meet some other members so feel free to say Hi!

I'll be in My E46 M3 (Silver with CSL whels and bootlid).

Have a cracking Easter Bank Holiday, I know I will!!!

Matt.

Hmmmm, cheeers.

I'll be at home doing chores.

zltm089 · 04-21-2011, 09:56 AM

Thats kinda late notice!!!....we need to know at least a few weeks in advance so we can get the cars ready, especially the brakes!!! ;-)

But enjoy mate!!!! I'm travelling up north on sunday...so gona blast it on the M1!!!

marcel b · 04-21-2011, 10:28 AM

will be there on Sunday and Monday.
On Monday the track is open as well, even better, the track is connected to the GP-track, enabling you to drive the VLN version of the track (Ring+GPtrack). All for the same price as a normal lap

335iLondon · 04-21-2011, 12:43 PM

Ill be there next friday! 28th

ADV.1 Matt · 04-21-2011, 04:13 PM

You guys don't know how good you've got it! I'm envious!

scooby-tc · 04-21-2011, 05:03 PM

Gits.......i am not at all jealous

i havent been there since 2009 and i cant wait to go again even if its just for the Argentinian Steaks in the Pistenklause and the fine German beer

Just got back from there.

We had initially planned for Easter, but we went a week early to avoid the Easter rush. So our paths almost crossed! Have a great trip! We had absolute brilliant weather and it didn't rain once, so I hope it stays the same.
Btw, you can buy the lap cards at the petrol station on Döttinger Höhe, but note that they charge a credit card fee (€3 on a 4 lap card) where the ticket office doesn't. In hindsight I wish I had bought a bucket load of the Redline October issue and got a bunch of lap vouchers from that... would have saved me quite a bit.

335iLondon · 04-22-2011, 07:00 AM

Good info thanks, anyone else have gd tips for ring newbie ?

Alpina_B3_Lux · 04-26-2011, 05:09 AM

How was it? I was there last Thursday and it was great, not too many people, fantastic weather and no closures due to accidents. Just a Porker shredded later in the afternoon, but well, Porkers.

I heard the Easter week-end was very busy, which was to be expected...

What a fantastic weekend!!! 25 degrees all weekend and it was absolutely mobbed. It was difficult to get a clean lap as there were just so many cars / yellow flags out on track but managed to beat my personal best.
Only a couple of track closures but they didn't last long and they was plenty of eye candy to dribble over between laps.
Decided I need to invest in some Cup tires or maybe some R888 for the next visit and already looking forward to going back. If you've never been you're missing out on a serious adrenalin rush that will leave a smile on your face four hours...

Matt.

Just received some excellent pictures from Jochen AKA Frozen Speed...

///M.aster · 05-01-2011, 11:41 AM

Going back on the 18th of June so pencil it into your diaries!!
Gonna speak to Tone if he's car is ready to see if he fancies taking it for a blast.
Hope to see a few of you!!

zltm089 · 05-01-2011, 03:05 PM

nice pics!!!....damn i wana go!!!

ed335d · 05-01-2011, 03:28 PM

Great pictures

Especially like the first one...

///M.aster · 05-01-2011, 04:07 PM

Have uploaded the vid now of my personal best. I'm afraid I still haven't got any audio sorted yet but you can just hum the engine noises

zltm089 · 05-02-2011, 08:42 AM

wow!!! very good driving mate, good lines!!! and quite fast aswell....

what was your lap time?

wikipedia: 8:22 BMW M3 E46 Horst von Saurma ...

Think I might be able to take you tho ;-)

///M.aster · 05-02-2011, 11:28 AM

Oh.. I'm only 22 secs off then as I got an 8:44.8 (according to my Performance box).
It is gradually coming down each trip but generally only do 4-5 laps each visit so next trip I'll be happy with something in the 8:20 to 8:30 region. Kev... You've got to turn up to beat me!?!

335iLondon · 05-02-2011, 12:03 PM

Bloomin testing for 24 hr race meant track was closed for the most oRt of Friday!

Ah well plenty of fun to be had on the autobahn

Gps verified 155, at the point I dared take eyes off road!

you are a bit more off

The time of 08:22 was for a FULL lap, and not BTG. So count another 25sec on top.

Don't focus too much on the time, just try to drive nice fluent lines. A car is thrown away in a heartbeat. I unfortunately had to experience that myself.
