7 second ring king
- Thread starter Lee

182cup & 172 racecar
Ages old Lee,but still funny,fancy going to go around the ring with your packed lunch on the dash!I should think he spilt his coffee and chocked on his muffin.
Thought it may be a repost but couldn't find it.
I see in the description they claim it's a yellow Audi S3, which anyone but a blind man can see isn't the case!!!!
Apparently it's an E30 325i BMW it certainly looks like.

Yep, 325i. Love the way they're so excited, then...........awwww s**t
If you had never been on the thing before, why go when it's pissing down?
my first lap was at 6:30 in the evening, misty and drizzling. You just have to adjust your driving for the conditions.
What's the driver doing after he crashes.... seems to be lighting up the wheels but not actually going anywhere!?

Last time I was there my cuz had his 320bhp 330d, fair enough we were probably still drunk from the night before, but at silly low speeds it would just try and spin.
Couldn't take it anywhere near quick, I remember doing about 50mph round a corner I was taking at over 70 in the clio in the dry, and it just wanted to slide. This was with 275/30-19's...
It's no-ones fault but the driver for either not knowing, or not appreciating just how slippy that track is when wet.
Would be a lot simpler with FWD, as you just come off the throttle..
325i will just have an open diff which won't have helped either.

looks like he might of even caught his offside wheel on the banking, could that have been the cause of the slip also?

Probably not, it's like driving on glass when it's wet.
TT 225
ahh right. what a numpty :race: 7 seconds later :banghead:
BMW M4; S1000 RR
High 5 indeed.
I was a passenger in the BMW doing 50mph round a corner that I had previously driven myself at over 70 in the Clio.
I don't know.. But a 330d M Sport with CSL rims is quite nice

Lol my first lap was in the pissing rain, 3 passengers onboard, full of luggage and car was full of crap, had just arrived and was looking for the car park and ended up going straight on the track!
Don't get why you'd wanna use this entrance as you'd only get half a lap.
Elise/VX220/R26
Feel a bit sorry for them but at least they got hom in one piece lol.
Its really is terrible out there in the wet. My first trip over in the VX last year was great in the dry but on day 2 it was totally pissing it down. Any amount of lock/power the back end would just go straight away. Less than no grip.

Read my previous post?
I know exactly what it can be like in the wet, very very slippery. But if you put your foot down, you should be aware of what the car can do. Someone said the car had an LSD which doesn't make it the hardest thing to catch at that speed.

it's possible there was a scotch egg or similar savoury rolling around in the footwell - maybe the gas pedal became stuck?
who cares - he ditched the car in the first corner; luckily he video'd it and (luckier still) decided to share it with the world. i just can't help but laugh every time i watch it. it's genius
