Thought id share my pics from my trip to Ze ring over the weekend
car performed perfectly no sign of trouble, ate up the miles and was reasonably comfortable.
i did a total of 1174miles with an Av MPG of 34.4mpg thats including 6 laps of the Nordschleife and a bit of a blast on the Autobahn...
hey guys
Im off to the Nurburgring in July with a few mates from uni :)
We are staying for a week, so plenty of tracktime available.
But I can't decide if I want to take my clio or my bike?
Standard Clio 172
Suzuki SV1000s
My mate says I should get a towbar put on the clio and take both :D
I...
Going to start planning a trip but the only opening times calendars i can find are for this year. I would have thought the 2011 calendar would be up by now for people planning to go at the start of the year.
I remember reading about this in EVO, years back, but never watched the onboard footage. Driven by Nick Heidfeld, at BMW at the time.
Bear in mind it's running maximum ride height, hard tyres and a 275kph limiter, to reign him and the car in, and protect BMW, since it was a PR event. It's still...
Think it's some sort of track day. Mostly standard motors.
LOLing at the people falling out then just getting up and carrying on.
Also lol at 6:57 on the second video when the guys coke bottle explodes!
Alien Green 200 with black front and white wheels, in Bournemouth around 4pm Sunday.
Had a big nurburgring sticker on the rear bumper with "ClioSport Nurburgring" written across it.
Has anyone got recommendations for insurance which provide cover for the public days at the Nurburgring?
I have tried a few companies today, all are saying noto cover for the public / TF days, meaning the only other options are getting cover with someone like Moris Trackday insurance, and...
Went to the Nurburgring for the first time over the bank holiday weekend, had a truly excellent time, it rained on most days but in the dry it was really something else.
I'll do a proper write up when I get a chance, but for the meantime here's a few of the photos I've found on the...
A friend of ours paid approx. €300 to have a passenger lap in the Aston Martin on Sunday 9th August 2010.
For a few extra €'s, he was able to take the in-car footage on a USB stick and I have uploaded everything from it, which includes a couple of vid's of him, one being very short, but...
Just spotted this video on youtube, one of the worst crashes at the Schwedenkreuz corner (i think
thats the corner)
The guy is ok which is the main thing but poor car :dapprove:
Another harsh reminder to the fact that the Nurburgring should be respected.
Went to the ring last friday-tues unfortunately the guy that organised the trip wife had become very ill and he couldnt go.
To make him feel even worse than he already did we sent him daily pictures to try and make him less suicidal.:eek:
It appears our trip co-incided with another CS members trip as I have just seen the other thread :)
I spotted a few CS's during our stay and managed to get pics of a few with the Cup staying in the same B&B as us.
I was in the 172...
My mate was in his Evo 6...
Just a few of them that I managed to grab photos of at the Ring this weekend. The 200's were extremely popular but mainly foreign plates
^That looked to have an intercooler on it and also a broken splitter after a lap? Was f**king low aswell!
There was also a silver...
Patrick Furstenhoff (Ghostrider) has announced on his facebook page that he will soon be running a taxi service around the nurburgring in his impreza.
He's meant to be quicker than sabine in the M5 Taxi :eek:
Talk of some new movies too :cool:
Just got back from a 4 day trip to the nurburgring, had an amazing time and recommend it to anyone!
There was a heatwave and it reached 37 degrees at one point
I have loads a photos but have tried to pic the best, im sorry they are so damn big!
On the way:
Hotel...
I spotted a fair few Clios over the weekend, and I have quite a strange request. I crashed my Mazda 3 MPS and somebody in a Clio drove past filming, I wanted to try and track down this person so I could grab a copy of the video from them, thanks!
Great fun. Lots more pics to follow as bought some from Frozenspeed.
Clio was set up by Mark Fish motorsport for the trip and was simply incredible! didnt skip a beat and got HAMMERED around the track by lots of different drivers all weekend! Brilliant little car and very quick around the...
Had not planned on going to the 'Ring much this year, but then 2 friends from the US decided they'd come over, and both wanted to go to the Nordschleife with me as guide, 1 last weekend, 1 this weekend, so I went (going again this weekend) :D
Some of the nicer shots from the weekend:
