Nurburgring 2008



Well, all i can say is thats its the most amazing place i have ever been. If anyone ever thinks about going, you have to just do it!!! Some of the roads on the way are amazing, and the track itself is savage!!

We stayed in london on the thursday night, and went down with my mate in his Focus RS.

We arrived at the ring on the friday afternoon around 4pm, and decided to head straight on for our first lap.
The clio handled awesome, considering the tyres wernt the best, after its first lap the outer edge of the front tyres had taken a beating, and pedal travel on the brakes increased, clearly boiled some fluid :)
Awesome track, its so different being on it, it throws you around left and right, the cambers are crazy, and the carousel is bumpy as hell! 7:30 came and track was closed, headed back to the hotel, then out for food and drink.
Saturday morning, woke up nice and early for a blast down the autobahn, M3 hit its limiter at 170mph!! Focus managed 150mph, scooby hit 145 and clio got 138 (Soon to be improved sunday ;))
We then went to watch the 1000km lemans series i believe at the F1 track, sureal being there!

Left there around 5:15 and headed back to the Ring for opening at 6pm, 1 more lap in the clio and it had destroyed the brakes, brake fade was crazy.
Managed to hitch a passenger ride in the M3,sooo much torque, especially up the hills. Managed a 165mph on the last straight and a lap time of around 10.5mins ish. Headed back to hotel, food and beer again.
Few snaps of cars there

A61 on sections is the only bit of bahn, just about going back towards England. My caught by the police LOL never

Friday was glorious, the BMW had some amazing laps, including harrassing a black 997 through brunnchen, while Jim C waved him to get out the way in the passenger seat, 888's FTW. I also Ran out of electricity in brunnchen 2 on friday, and had to stop to put the battery lead back on, and sort the immobilisier out lol

We were doing 160kph and a police bike ame along side and just said slow down, speed limit was 130kph. Very nice of him

Im still laughing now at the memories of that thing on its door handles trying to keep up going round some of those bends on route to the ring, Cant believe how much roll it has.
