If anyone has or comes across any pictures of the following 3 cars, please let me know, or post them here so I can nab them.
I forgot to take my camera!!

 

frog, if you know that section of track, you'll know you'd never have expected him to do that, i just got caught out by thining the guy had a brain. imagine being on a long straight on a trackday, you wouldnt expect the car you're indicating to pass would anchor on!

unfortunately passing at the ring often has to be done a lot quicker than on a regular track, as you have to carry your speed and not slow down. waiting behind someone and hoping to power past them on a straight just won't work unless you've got huge horsepower. (especially considering there aint many straight bits... lol) it's often done on the inside of a left hander when the slower car is keeping wide to let people past, you'd never get that on a trackday!

it's hard to understand unless youve driven it really, as it sounds well dodgy when people say it, you just think they're driving like a c*nt

it's why you have to keep an eye on whats going on behind you and make sure you allow people plenty of room to pass you.

 

Fair enough Jim, can't say I totally agree, but let's leave it at that and avoid an unnecessary argument on an otherwise brilliant thread

 

Greg,

You wont agree until you have been. Its far to difficult to put into words what Jim meens mate

 

i understand mate, wouldn't argue anyway as i hated overtaking things there, really scared me. was only this last trip where i was comfortable passing things.

ze germans do NOT do health and safety, you shoulda seen the driver briefing for the GP circuit

 

rofl. No crash helmets required. If you see a yellow flag just slow down a bit. was proper amusing

 

18000 + views...got to be the thread of the year so far

 

Agreed

 

Cracking thread guys.

I'm getting even more excited now, cos were off on the 19th july for a similar sort of break!

Keep the pics coming as well!

 

greg, you're right it is stupid. but jim is also right, it is just what you do when you're there and 'in the heat of battle' (even though it is not a battle).

it is very hard to stop the adrenaline taking over and keep it totally sensible, but the more times you have been, the easier it becomes. you realise that it's ok to try and do a fast la when it's quiet, but if there's other traffic then you should all give each other plenty of room

 

I wasn't travelling all that way on the RL's as there cracked

Needed some 17's & got Richie's set....wasn't bothered on condition or colour just needed to be straight & have good tyres.

Job...Jobbed

 

lol comedy 17s then

 

Dunno if these have been posted...

 

Any of my car Andreas?

 

Wow great pics!


there was a funny looking bald bloke taking pictures when i drove percy round... where do i look to see if he got any pics?

 

nick, you're one to talk, i remember how fast you went round in my sierra

since you know that particular section of track, can you see what i mean about staying left and indicating? and also if i slowed behind the 911 i could not then overtake as i don't have the power to pull past

When is the next trip? I would be keen to go on this, more so for the experience than actually acheiving lap times.
