Without a doubt - the new engine will see to that (up 50-70bhp), combined with the chassis mods as well (Danny B's floor bars, front and rear strut braces and some track oriented tyres). All of this won't be ready until next year though.

Plus I am CONSTANTLY learning more about the track with each time we go .

I have no idea what is the quickest tuned Ford.

My dream would be to partake in a 24 hr race (in a proper race car)......
So the pink bunny mod worked well then

Anyway the ring is not the only well kown track.
Zolder or spa or assen and zandvoort would be also cool.

They're just roundabouts compared to the Ring, and I HATE roundabouts .

According to my sources the track will be closed to the general public, mid 2008, for a number of reasons.

Dr. Schlecker is the Mayor of Adenau, a small town in the heart of the Nurburgring.
Mick would you like to race the 24hr in this?

I know where Adenau is .

I would do it in ANYTHING that had more than 200bhp and was either rwd or 4x4....

Oh so that fwd is no good then!
What set up is best for Nurburgring. What tyres etc can you use, as you can't use full slicks on public days

Mike Rainbird there's plenty of independant teams that compete in the 24h race that would gladly sell you a drive as they need the finance. you would need your race licence first though

rubbish. a stg1 sapphire in full road trim can easily manage sub 9 minute laps.
