Nurburgring times

[TooTall Paul]

Whats your time around the ring


7mins 49secs
Subaru Rally Car

[thetruemackie]

Only did 1 lap in a stock Monaro at around 9 minutes. First time ever on the 'ring though

[L100NYY]

I've only managed a 9min lap (so far) in the NSX Type R

I think a wee bit more practice is in order!

What a game though

[tonyhetherington]

Never been round the ring before at all. Tried a caterham fireblade and found myself changing up way too early (bloody bike engines! ).

will try and get a good time tonight, me thinks!

10 mins 1 second in a Ford Ka

[thetruemackie]

I actually found myself being a bit panicky taking the not-so-straight-or-flat sweepers at 140mph! To do it for real must be a big, big rush

[Ahonen]

Managed 6:31 with the Lister on Arcade mode - but I fell off hugely on the section before mini-Karrussel. There are huge chunks of time yet to find though.

Did the final licence test (with the DTM Merc) in 7:31.

[TRACKDEMON]

WOW!!! Never driven the nurburgring, watched many vids. Got a good 15 or so laps in last night:-

Best times, all in standard spec (rounded to 0.5):

NSX-R - 8.06.5 LOVE THIS CAR, sounds wonderful but the high speed lift off oversteer is quite scary)
Skyline GTR - 8.11 Surprisingly slow down the straights, little twitchy @ high speeds but quite forgiving through the slower stuff.
TVR T350 - 8.01 Bit more understeer than I expected, gearing too short pretty stable otherwise. Good throttle adjustability

[Tim Netherton]

Never driven the 'ring before either

Went round in a Vanquish last night in about 8.11 I think.

[hiasakite]

8.36 in a Supra....

Managed a few 180 mph crashes too! Glad that wasn't for real!

[stooz]

which mode? arcade? you havent bought these cars in turismo mode yet have you?

[L100NYY]

Agree with you Trackdemon about the NSX-R, it is absolutely superb!

I think I spent more time drifting than actually going in a straight line though!
The lift off oversteer was a bit hairy at first but as long as you nail the throttle as soon as it starts sliding you can hold it at ridiculous angles until your hearts content

Indeed but you must be super quick to get the lock off when it comes back lest you spin the other way. At 140mph+ :HEHE: Had one huge moment on my 8.06 through a very quick right hander towards the end of the lap, stepped out at 130mph and stayed there. I swear, time actually slowed down managed to catch it, drifted christ knows how far and exited full throttle pointing the right way - felt like it couldn't possibly have gone any faster.

Best in 'my' car (450bhp Nissan 300ZX, with rear wing and front splitter): 7:58.692

Best lap overall: 6:32.459 JGTC Motul Pitwork 350Z (awesome car)

[mr_yogi]

11 mins dead - Manual Box
No Driver Aids
Road Tyres
In a Beige Volvo 240 GLT Estate

Love the sparks from the front bumper when you slam on the brakes at speed

and 11:52 my first lap of the Ring in the Honda S600

It's not fair as soon as I have a car which can do more than 130mph the back slips out on the fast corners and I fishtail into the armco

[sj78]

just did one lap in my 'real' car. 8.52 in a Fiat Coupé

[mgv8]

7.48 Lister (and was so mush fun toped out 194mph)

[bad boy]

7:38 in my 550 bhp skyine:cool, and 6:20 something in the lister on arcade

>> Edited by bad boy on Thursday 10th March 14:38

[Graham.J]

It took me about 10mins to get to Karussel in the Ford Model T, I gave up after that.

[whittaker52]

8:28.268 in a standard Elise 111R and i would say there is still room for a bit of improvement in there too.

will post up a few more times later on with my various other cars.
