Just in case you didnt know already, most of the guys that put the ring photographs up on the web will send you a hi resolution version suitable for printing. Some charge a bit but you never know.

The third title sounds like some strange homosexual S&M thing or, a scene from Deliverance.
I really dont want to know...
Just so long as hes happy I guess its OK.
A name for the ring and this car as well. Green Hell in English...

Nick,
In a real car you would notice that you do need to slow some for most corners. That car was just so slow that it did much of the lap at cornering speed, Kesselschen in in particular. It just didnt like going uphill, did it?
I was a bit worried when I saw the car had drums at the...
Nick,
It really is very good value, isnt it? Check out Ben Lovejoys site, and hook up with the ringers. Sometimes you might even find someone to share the cost of ferry and petrol for the trip. They are a great bunch.

If I upset or surprised the British Clio driver who I overtook with possibly a
little too much haste, around the outside on the righthand bend into Adenaur
Forst, please pass on my apologies. I was carrying alot of speed out of
Fuchsrohre. ;o)
It was good to see you all there though...
Stuman,
The whole point of the place is that they do not have seperate time slots. There was some talk of seperating the motorbikes as they always come out second best, but not many wanted that.
There are no nannies out there checking on you. It is unique and I hope it stays that way for...
Have a look here. I think it is the only Clio. Not sure who is driving...

Billabong,
Tyres make more of a difference than anything else. If there are different tyres on the front and back the difference can be quite pronounced. Also if otherwise identical tyres are old, even if they are unused, they can be quite hard.
Once the variable of tyres has been...
Rich,
Alls well that ends well. It is easy enough to get out of shape on the track. Happens to everybody sooner or later. For you it was just a bit too soon.
There are a lot of places out there where the damage would have been a bit worse. Just ask the Seat driver...
Keep us posted on...
Well it certainly looked like people enjoyed the ring bit. The drinking and such sounds like fun as well. Im sure there will be plenty of tales to tell and some probably not for public consumption.
Im glad to hear that the one eyed 172 made it home without incurring the wrath of the...
Are the front and rear tyres the same? Have you tried swapping fronts for rears? Even if the tyres are the same on both ends, there can be a difference due to tread depth and even the age of the tyres. Provided that tyres were all you changed, that is where to look for the answers.
Ragnotti is a cup. The Cup is only a Cup in the UK/Ireland.
Not sure that anyone used a watch, but if someone videoed a lap, it is easy enough to time. Nobody was in a position to go for a time. It generally takes about 20 to 50 laps before you can string together a decent sequence. The...
It is called the "Money Shift" redline it in any gear and drop her down a cog or two. No rev limiter is going to help you there!
Usually the synchros will give you a little warning as they really dont feel up to synchronising things under these conditions but the ham fisted do occasionally...
Mine was popping out on jumps and in the Karrussel. I checked the dog bone and it was fine. Drove a 16V yesterday and the same thing happened in Karrussel. I think it may be that all of the mounts may get just a little worn allowing this to happen under extreme loads, not just the dogbone...
Figures that after there were 17 British Clios at the ring, a couple French ones turned up today. In over a year of going to the ring Ive only seen a handful and thie weekend almost 20!
One of the French cars was a Ragnotti and they are very subtle. The only place that Ragnotti is written is...
You cant blame them for that can you? You should have sneaked over on your own just to take the piss.
There were some well driven Citroens there today.
