Nah wasnt on purpose getting thrown out.

They have a scoreboard that shows times as you are racing, and i was 2 seconds a lap quicker than everyone else in my session so i was arseing around trying to drift it on the bottom corner and kept sliding into the outside tyre wall, i didnt realise that in germany they REALLY dont like you contacting the tyre wall (most places over here only care if you hit other drivers) and they got in such a stress over it they stopped me in the middle of the track and made me walk half a lap of shame on the way out, lol


He kept pointing to a sign saying "do not hit the barriers" but it was in german and i dont speak the lingo!

As for you kicking my arse, like that ever happened, or are you on about that one time we were exactly the same till the session i got given a duff kart and suddenly you could beat me?


The karts at this one were about 1 second variance i think cause when me and craign went out in one sert of karts he was .5 seconds quicker than me and then when we swapped to different karts i was .5 seconds quicker than him, so all fairly even really.

Only a bit of fun anyone of course and no one really cared about times a great deal

Chip, I took round 12 passengers, I didn't know the names of half of them - which included the random biker . Apparantly he has it on video (front AND rear cameras) of me blitzing his Konica replica CBR1000RR Blade (with Ł3k worth of Brembo brakes plus Ohlins suspension ). I SO want a copy of that, and I forgot to get his email details (the guy that bought us a drink in Pinochios).

If anyone sees a post relating to this on any forum, it would be most appreciated if you could point me in that direction.

PMSL @ cossymad

Bikes in the rain really are pathetic at the ring, they are just complete mobile chicanes, utter waste of time them being on it really, but after going all that way you are going to have a go no matter what i suppose.
