nurburgring trip 29/5 - 3/06/09

[teabagger]

What a trip!

Around 1600 miles in total with 6 cars- E30 m3, vxr astra, civic typr r, vx220, vx220 turbo and my E36 m3 evo.
We didnt have a single issue with any of the cars which is good considering the age of the beemers and the build quality of the vx220's!

The trip has highlighted to me how bad driving in the UK is- there are more cameras than I can belive now. The main north-south roads are peppered with 50mph restrictions. The driving in france and germany was like a breath of fresh air. Good average speeds, the odd high speed run and good driving from all road users.

My previous best BTG was 8.48.
This time i've got the car running and handling better and I drank less Bit Burger. I pulled out a 8min 31sec BTG.

I didnt think a time like that was achieveable so I am well and truely happy!


Is there anybody else from PH that was there over the previous week?

I really think the E36 M3 is the best looking M car - ever.

The car looks great in the karrusel pics. I was very pleased when I found them.

Had a similar experience when I went last year.

Your E36 is really nice, my mate used to have an Estoril one, was awesome on the track.

Did you have a play on the Autobahn nearby??

Great pictures and videos .... Moby was a great choice.

I'm off to the Nurburgring at the end of July for the first time, and really looking forward to it.

What camera were you using for you videos, and what mounting did you have on the bodywork?

[teabagger]

Thanks for the comments

we had a little on the autobahns but not as much as I did last year on the autobahns when I cruised with a 911 at around 160mph!

I have a 12 lap ticket for sale if you want it, £150- drop me an email

My camera is just a standard cannon md101 mini dv
My mounting technology is very simple and cheap- a tomtom suction mount and electricians tape and hand held for the outboard shots which is probably a little naughty.
