After the grilling you gave Cally for buying a sticker when she had only been round as a passenger (cause we were in Johns car and she wasnt on the insurance) i have a feeling this might annoy you a little!!!

That is a fuckin disgrace!

(I bought mine when I was a passenger too )

 

i had one bought for me - but i'm reluctant to put it on the car untill i've been

 

 

And you should remove the writing aparently, as anyone who needs the name on there to know what it is isnt worthy of talking to anyway.

Mike told me off for putting a sticker on john's car with the writing on it

 

It would be really putting it on when you havent been.

Oh, carry on then

 

but how many of you that have driven the nordschelife have the complete sticker on that includes the gp circuit? if you haven't driven the gp as well (like us lucky people did at easter ), then you should cut that portion off the bottom.

 

Nothing but a bunch of wannabes!

You shouldnt be allowed the sticker unless u have done an 8 min something lap.

RW

 

yeah mike remove the stickers now

now be honest who bought one when chip liked the add

i recon its mike whos selling em to fund his trip

 

My instructor from the rally school did sub 9 (barely) minutes lap in Toyota Corolla with 3 people inside So it must be disgrace to do more then8 minutes in a Cossie

 

 

My mate did a 8.40something lap in his 1.8T FWD golf with only 200bhp, and its not stripped or anything, just a perfectly ordinary road car.

Doing 8 mins is pretty easy with a bit of practice.

TBH practice on the track actually counts far more than being a decent trackday driver, even a very average trackday driver could get an 8 in a reasonable car with a few dozen laps practice, but you would have to have balls of steel to manage the same on your first ever lap even if you were a very competant driver indeed.

How quick you are round the nurburgring is mainly dependant on how many times you have been round it before, more than how good you are on other tracks etc.

 

??????

 

That's why I always said that being fast on such a long circut on first laps needs rallydriver not track-day or even circut racing driver Decent rallydriver in Gr.N Impreza would do sub 8 minutes in second lap with no problem probably

 

Steven,
Shouldn't be allowed unless you in the 7 mins .

Almost as bad as Novas with "Turbosystems" stickers .

 

was ment for mike not you

but i forgot to add



unless your wheels are gold aswell then

 

Azrael, only with good pace notes and balls of steel.

 

At least they're proper ones! You should see the dodgy copies that are kicking around on ebay!

Yes, it is a discrace to have a sticker unless you've driven it, thats what I keep telling my two passengers from the trip anyhow!!

And, if you think you can do a sub 9min lap in an 'average' car after a dozen laps then you're either very much mistaken or talking about someone who's a complete nutcase behind the wheel, with a deathwish!

 

when i was 18 i bought a r5gtt and there was a white one with torbo systems stickers all over it so i asked the guy what was dont asn he was saying it was 200bhp tunned by them and the do all the work on it and its tone of there show cars ect

so i rang turbosystems to get it booked in for 2k's worth of work, group A carb, uprated ( read strapped ) and get 200 break and get it chipped like there show car that i had seen

the guys reply on the phone "was we aint worked on them for over a year, we dont have a R5GTT show car either, sorry about that"

i kept seeing the car about and never spoke to him again but he should be shot for false advertising

 

Well you are taking me out on the Ring in couple of weeks remeber. So I can make my pacenotes Anyway when I talked to this guy who did this sub 9 minutes in Corolla he was such a happy man He was so happy he's business partner (who is rallydriver too) almost fainted

By the way - this are two quickest drivers I know. They don't look like that, do they?



(The one of the left is the Corolla one)

 

I've sent him a note

 

i got one of the M25 on my car cos i been around it loadsa times

 

I'd stick it on my steeringwheel Then i know the track layout is and pull a 6 minute lap off

 

I'd b impressed if any1 could do a lap of the m25 in 8 minutes! hell 8 hours would b impressive!

 

My mate had the idea of sticking a fucking huge Ring sticker on my front windscreen, then as we were going round he'd point at it following corner by corner!! This is, however, the same friend of mine who suggested he should by a velcro suit so he doesn't fall of the seats when going round on track, nuff said!!

 

So i better cancel my one then............

You lot'll batter me!

 

Azrael, sorry mate. no can do until my cossie parts are rebuilt into another shell. haven't managed to find a workshop to do it yet, so could be some time. maybe in september? 10th is a big meet at the 'ring, the day before the european ford event in holland.

 

VW golf, 1.8T, fwd, mild tune (chip only) to 200bhp

Fully loaded, with 3 people in the car, compelte with stereo equipment etc
8:fortysomething after less than 12 laps.

Bmw M3, bog standard, less than a dozen laps, 8:fiftysomething

Thats a couple of the lads that i knew who went over when we went last.


So i stand 100% by my statement, good driver in average car = sub 9 mins

(i mean of course average car for a trackday, not a 1.4 corsa)

Although saying that, i know someone who after 6 laps was almost under 9 mins in his 1400 nova too, but thats far from standard

 

Well then we're going in mine I am coning at Dortmund on 5th of July and stay here untill end of August. So there will be plenty of time to find convinient time You ever read pace-notes from memory?

 

Was that an AMD chip?? That transformed my Audi A3 1.8T......Talk about a well made engine! So easy/cheap to tune, i've always ranted about it

 

fpmsl

 

Franco, no idea mate, probably either that or a REVO one, they all do pretty much the same thing anyway!

 

"TBH practice on the track actually counts far more than being a decent trackday driver, even a very average trackday driver could get an 8 in a reasonable car with a few dozen laps practice, but you would have to have balls of steel to manage the same on your first ever lap even if you were a very competant driver indeed.

Chip,

I did one reminder lap to make sure it was the same as i learned from the video and then did an 8:43 3 up with damp sections of the track.

Velcro Suit .... now theres an idea

 

Yes Stephen, I was with you on that trip, but you're a nutter behind the wheel!!!

 

Steven, fantastic stuff.

 

Azrael, OK mate, keep in touch and we'll meet up there one weekend. i can tell you where on the track that you should be flat out when i guarantee that normally you will not be.

 

what about if ya got a playstation and done the ring in the car on ya screen

can i stick a sticker on it then

 

.... but as I keep trying to explain to people, you have so little fear that death actually shits himself when you get close

 

Thats one of the features of proper racing driver.
