[badinvincible]

Hmm, sauerkraut.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

i f**king love the loon

 

[jon_r]

That guy in the Clio only did one or two laps! Very lame. Fancy going all that way and only doing that many laps!!

Maybe he got owned by a standard Cup and left!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

that is ghey, bless him.

hmmm, i want some super dooper coilovers now.

 

[Turkish]

Suspension was so hard his poor ass probably couldnt take the pounding any longer. Something you gheys would never suffer from.

 

[jon_r]

Agreed, but I can do it in 9:01 without the fancy suspension, so thatll do for now

 

[Tom]

OWNED!

I can do a 9.30ishmaybe with no skill and no grip

 

[Day]

Coilovers are ghey!

Air supension is the future

Is that all

I thought you said you could knock 15 secs off easily

Dave

 

[jon_r]

Was too busy. Ive had a re-think anyway, maybe 8:50 is possible one day in a (standard) Clio but no faster! lol.

 

[jon_r]

I did manage 9:35 ish with 4 up in a standard Clio though! Probab;y the most enjoyable lap of the whole weekend, oh apart from the one with the GT3 following!

 

[Clart]

not even with the woodscrew beast?

 

[Tom]

lol. you had to be there. traffic was low but it was the get in way kind of traffic.

very frustrating.

 

[davyboy]

I was there the week previous, and believe me it was even busier!

I heard one of you could not ever pass a diesel skoda

I think an 8.45 is possible in a Clio. My mate can do an 8.52 in his 205 gti, and the clio is a fair bit faster than that. Although you will NEVER do this with a passenger, I think a passenger add around 5-10 secs per lap.

I am taking the Clio over for a week in August, so Ill have a damn good go at beating 9 mins.

Dave

 

[Day]

That bloke with the skoda was a nice chap.

Bit of a come down from his usual mount though?

Boxster > Fabia

 

[davyboy]

He still has his Boxster.

I did try and convince him he needed a Clio........he didnt listen

Jon did a 9.03 with me so without my fat arse sat alongside him an 8:33 is possible

 

[Day]

I really need a posting to Germany!

 

[jon_r]

Good luck with 9 minutes Dave, I think its possible as well. Everytime I timed myself a biker or something decided he wanted a certain apex! It did get bloody annoying, kept getting 9.03s etc..

Guy with the Skoda was a really nice bloke, we had a long chat, (he did get over taken though ) Funnily everytime ive been before he had been as well, quite a regular!!

Not sure the Clio will ever go to the Ring again, but ill be back!!

 

[davyboy]

Beating 9 mins will be easy if I can get a lap without a passenger jumping in. I have never done 1 lap alone in the Clio.

I dont time every lap I do, in fact its rare now, but I think the 944 turbo is 8 secs slower per lap with a passenger.

Dave

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

I wish id have timed my runs when i was out there. my mind was on the bear though!

 

[edde]

How did that cup racer even get a number plate was it road legal with lights and all?

Be intesting to see how long that took to make legal.

 

[Weeman]

I did 9,40 3 up, Ill have to do a lap without the ballast next time

French, they dont give a fcuk about anything concerning rules and regulations

 

[Ali]

Whats a good time round the ring?

 

[Weeman]

anything under 10 is fair shifting, 9 is fcuking quick in a standard clio /cup. 8-8.30 is a quick M3, anything under 8 proper lunacy.

 

[jon_r]

And the good thing about the Ring is whilst money buys you a decent car it doesnt buy you a quick lap, I lost count how many M3 owners thought they were quick, yet were taking rediculous lines.

The quick guys are usually in a Passat Estates!

 

[davyboy]

Pah....M3s up your arse!

On my last visit, one dived up the inside of me in to Hatzenbach on our first lap out....I have to admit I call him the C word, then overtook him up Kesselchen despite having 50 bhp less

I agree with whats been said above - the circuit rewards knowledge rather than power.

 

[edde]

Under 13 is good for a 1.2 IMO.

 

[jon_r]

The rule about BMWs not moving over seems never more apt than on the Ring. lol.
