Cliosporters at the ring!

[Tom]

Guess who!

 

[Lee]

Looks like y0z on the right. Not sure about the middle but left looks like Ian, y0z2a's mate.

I missed a call from y0z earlier. Probably stood in front of the cam again.

I see they are still there.

 

[Tom]

Zonda behind them

 

[Ian_182]

Lucky buggers

 

[Batman]

[Batman]

[Tom]

[Batman]

think i'll go next year when the cars built give it a god test i've put loads of time in at the ring on forza

 

[Day]

They rang you too...

Spot the Irishman

 

[Ian_182]

I thought it was a lot more than that.

So its the same as going from wolves to glasgow roughly.

apart from you cane your car to it limits before driving it home

 

[Tom]

Nah you dont, its nothing like a track day.

 

[Batman]

i just wanna drive round the sloped corners thats about it, any cars that give it full beans down the back straight?

 

[Day]

By the time you hit the back straight it's time to cool those brakes down so not really

 

[Marky_]

That's pretty cool.

I wouldnt follow TomTom to the 'Ring... it will add 35 miles onto the distance, taking you on the motorways all the way there.

The most direct, and probably preferred route is via Eupen, and the 'bumpy road'

 

[Day]

The bumpy road is marginly better than it was in 2006...

Good old Belgian diversions while they were doing the smooth section - I kid you not

Correct google map link

 

[Marky_]

Lol. Class. Straight through the forest!

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'm the one in the middle!

 

[Maz]

^ you look like you have been tangoed lol

 

[y0z2a]

Is the irish one the one surrounded by the white glow ;-)

cheers Tom...

JonR is behind us too with Steve, Piers and John? I think.

/y0z

 

[172blue]

Yep, that is me and John with our backs to the camera in the second pic. They were taken when the track was shut and we were bored. I think the guys phoned several people to get the webcam prints!!

A taster photo of the trip, many more to follow, this was taken coming through the Eiffel mountains, approaching the 'ring...

Many more to come...

[CHRIS172CUP]

tomtom's, i sh!t 'em

 

[y0z2a]

can anyone tell me who the hobbit is between ian and me?

anyone from middle earth identify him?

/y0z

 

[TheJesus]

weather looked okay at least Yoz, as it started shitting it down when me and 9 lives left the hotel! Oh, did you finish all that as well? If so I'm amazed you got on track! lol

 

[Steviant]

tomtom's, i sh!t 'em

FPMSL,

When I can actually find a bed to go to sleep in Chris!

Mr Pagini was there too. I was about to have a word cause his car woke us at 8am, blasting down the main straight and rattling our windows, in our hotel.

That was the F1 varient (Tom speak), all in unpainted carbon fibre.
They broke the clutch in the morning, so had to go to Halfords for a replacement.

Missed you Waddle.

Next time.

Had a great trip. 30 laps of Spa on Sunday really made it. The most amazing track day yet. Eau Rouge and Pouhon are incredible corners.

The 4 laps of the Ring were a bonus. Shame it wasn't more. Rain ended play, plus a BMW dropped oil everywhere.

Yesterday was good to watch the test drivers in some very interesting cars, including Jaguar, Aston Marton, the new Impreza, those Skylines (still) and
the new Alfa and CLK.

Pics to follow...

Happy Days
