Not thinking of a change are we Piers?
No way. Have only just got to grips with the RS on track and really enjoying it.
Was wondering just how far off the pace I am at the Ring......a lot!
Plus, the way it's going up in value I can't afford to sell it!
Good man!!

Can't believe you'd get sub 8 mins on a public day no matter whos driving (just due to traffic). Mid 8 mins should be do-able I suspect but I wouldn't want to be timing myself around there because it will end in tears and a large repair bill.

sub 8'30" is possible on almost any public day. And that's in a caterham FFS!! You GT3 boys should be able to put in 8'20"s regularly (BTG), even on TF days....
I was only guessing.. as I say, I don't time around there as I think its a pointless exercise. You can have a lot of fun driving at 7/10ths.. who cares if there is someone quicker!

when the track was fully open i can remember he was doing 189 mph flat through the first kink at the end of straight..
No he wasn'tkleonard said:
yea the Fuchsröhre..... takes serious balls.....
The first kink at the end of the straight is the fastest part of the circuit. Considering that a GT3 Cup car that is optimally geared for the NS, is on slicks, and produces >425bhp can only do, at the absolute best, 179-180, perhaps your friend's speed was a bit less than 189.
Edited to add: The fastest that the same car will go in the Fuchsrohre is low 160s, so your friend's max speed def wasn't there.
