Nurburgring trip...
- Thread starter rick c
- Start date
We were there Thurs, Fri and Saturday. Did see one other red RX8 but only briefly. Would love to see your vid on track if you can get it on youtube or something.
Yeah getting the RX8 into the 8's wouldn't be too difficult a few more laps would have done it. Not having had many laps on track I couldn't believe how fast 9 minutes felt though, absolutely bricked it being passenger!
Was quite disheartening to learn that with a perfect lap you could probably get round in about 8:10...

i was there thursday to sunday, think i may have seen you in the car park and at various times when watching around the track,
there were 3 cars in our group, joe itr in his dc2 with orange wheels, his brother olly in his ek9 civic R and mad Geof p in his little mini cooper.
was an awesome weekend and great weather, with minimal track closures.

Couldn't miss the dc2 with orange wheels! Definitely saw the other two cars as well.justinteg said:
We where there on Saturday afternoon as well, when it absolutely peed it down. Went out on track and the owner managed a little spin :|
Yeah cheers Dan can definitely see where I could have gone faster but as I'm not a regular track goer and that was my first time driving an RX8 it all felt outrageously fast enough to me as it was!
Good target for next time, try to get into the 8's with the Teg

Dont bother with times.. only makes u anxious :|
Just steady away smoothly, so many people buy 8 laps and 'have to do 8 FAST LAPS'
:cry:

the nurb scares me with the amount of overturned civics on youtube! though not seen many tegs on there. In fact all i see is countless of vids of civics loosing control by what seems like nothing out of the blue, strange.
i did a track walk with rsrnurburgring while i was over there this year and that shows you just how some accidents happen.
in a car you just dont allways notice the camber changes and inclines your driving.
it was very worth while doing the arranged walk ( mini buss tour with stop offs ).
totally puts a lot into perspective and really opened my eyes.

Quick B road :? :?
Its just so different than that, drive it like the ring and u will be fine. More u do more u learn more u enjoy- less u care about times.
