8:32 BTG lap time and toys out of the pram

 

but fair play to him, they were riding like cunts

typical bikers

 

Always 2 sides to this sort of thing, yes it's a race track but it's NOT a track day.

Clue is in the name Touristenfarhten (Tourist drives) you get fast cars, fast bikes, slow cars, slow bikes, coaches, motorhomes,vans ALL sorts.

German road laws apply to the track and vehicles should keep to the right, it's common courtesy/decency to move to the right for slower vehicles as per 'track day' rules.

I can't talk really,as a few years ago got a stress on when a Toyota Corrolla wouldn't get out of the way.

 

He looked seriously committed as well

 

Always difficult when your in the zone. Can easily get annoyed on a track day or ring weekend when you feel your being held up. End of the day the circuits open to everyone at the ring on TF days and he needed to chill out as thats when he takes chances and causes accidents.

 

fair play to him he was on a flyer.to get that frustrated he was obviously going for a pb.i get a bit commited to lap times on track day and i get worked up by some people but not this bad lol.

 

True, the overtake on the BMW touring? exit of Bergwerk, on the kerb was a bit 'committed'

 

He sure could pedal it.
The bleeping out could have made it sound worse than it was, he could have been saying anything lol
Rich

 

That bloody car was flying.I thought he had a bit of an aggressive drive style.

 

'a bit'

 

Total arsehole he is, driving like that will end up bad someday
Thinks he's alone on track and everybody has to move over

 

To me it sounded like "hurry the f##k up as I need to complete my f##king lap so I can have my f##king siesta" ?

Although don't quote me on that as I'm probably wrong.

Best bit of the video was when the RS Focus stood on the throttle and pulled away rather quickly.

But all credit to the CRX driver, he did well, I wish I could say I was sat behind him in my ST170 doing the same but alas no lol.

 

Fair play, he could pedal that car well! Always fancied a nice CRX.

 

I couldnt be bothered watching it to the end he hasn't got a clue how to drive just watch what he is doing with his legs and hands he is on the way to his own accident- he was so close to rear ending the white TT at the start. Pretty stupid on a tourist day to be dicking around like that its a crash waiting to happen.

Its fools like this that put me off going back to the Ring on a tourist day.

 

Sure he has done this thing before. But as said before, the ring is open for everyone. He needs to behave like that.

Lol when the Focus RS steps on it

 

A couple of times I thought it was going to end in tears but surely under the circumstances that is still a quick time for the power.

Wouldn't of been comfortable being his passenger though

Good watch though

 

I did wonder were the focus had fucked off to, if he caught the Audi that quickly the ficus would have been flying if not for the slowing down after that off

 

The Focus RS was obviously being careful when behind the bikers at Pflansgarten,not aiming to kill them .

 

i didnt see the feet control untill you said. he comes off the brake to blip the throttle on downshift instead of heel and toe. never seen that trick before lol

 

My heart was in my mouth a few times and I weren't even in the bloody car! Some of his entry speeds and late braking was immense!

 

Looks like hes doing 200mph most of the time when really its half of that lol still he drove it like he stole it, fair play

 

Aggressive driven like an ashole....sorry but on the Track are beginners too and most of them drive normal Road Cars. This called Touristenfahrt not Terroristenfahrt!

 

 

Spot on, people like this guy should be banned from touristenfahrten

 

Yes he was driving aggressive but the idiots should have moved over, when i had a mk1 clio i done a few track days with MLR i would slaughter the evos in the corners and then come out of the corner hoping they would move over, but no they would just use 1000bhp and no talent to pull away, only to slow me up again at the next corner.

 

It's not a track day, but German road laws apply so slower traffic 'should' keep to the right.

 

For you lads that know the Ring, would he of shaved much time off as it didn't look like they held him up too much, 10secs max ?????

 

He was going some thats for sure, but i drive very differently.
Hes time was very good and there is now way i would have got that round as fast, simply as im to much of a pussy and i treat my cars too sentimentally to ever drive them that aggressively, but much like Sinbads question, do the real 'ring dooers' think that if he had gone a little smoother and slower in he could have got a better time?

 

He may have gained 'a few' seconds as he wasn't held up until the last section on the track, it was a good time regardless but he was fooking dangerous being so close to the bikes.

I'll see if I can find some similar (safer?) laps..

 

iv never been to the ring but id love to go. but my opinion is you dont go one the worlds most famous tracks to be a baby and drive like a girl. tourist day or not its the ring and id be flat out.

 

...into the barriers on lap 3

 

8:21 BTG mk2 Golf 2.0 16v 150hp at hubs. Nige has done 1300 laps of the 'ring over the years. (shit sound sorry)

This was on a private track day not TF.


Nige's son Matt, 328i modded, only his 14th lap driving but he's been going to the 'ring years with his family, done 800laps as passenger, learnt well... low 8mins! Also on private track day.

 

7:33 BTG Z4M Lap timer finishes a tad early but still rapid whatever.

 

The driver was a little out of order there.... you can't arrive on a tourist day and expect to treat it like a track day. To be honest, it's guys like that that scare me the most on a touristenfahrten day. And as a bit of a background for those of you who haven't been, there is no kind of pre-track talk/guidance/instruction prior to entering the circuit so a lot of people probably don't even know trackday etiquette.....

Personally when I'm on a lap and come anywhere within 100m of a motorcycle, ill happily drop ten seconds back and merely deduct it from my overall lap time. One thing I wouldn't dream of doing is hustle them like that to get out of the way. A laptime isn't worth another mans limb or life.

Shame really, as the guy could obviously pedal, which leads me to strongly believe he really should have known better.

 

Spot on!

There isn't much,if any room for error..

 

lap 3 thats not bad that. thought someone would say 3rd corner.

 

Too much credit Gary, he'll end up like this

 

That's the way to drive on touristenfahrten

I never time my laps and the only way forward on the Ring is to watch your mirrors for the faster GT3's etc. and if you're quicker i always wait with overtaking till they signal or go to the right, it's almost impossible to go for a quick lap time these days
The only quick free lap i've done was in the passenger seat with Phil Allanby in his Scooby, this was after a closure and we got on track 1st, only car that overtook us was a GT3 and i think that was low 8min lap

 

lol.

im an xbox expert on the ring lol. 5 yrs of forza and i know every corner off pat.
surely that would make me awesome on the real thing?

edit, just incase some of you dont have many brain cells that was a joke

 

Ouch.
