Ring Taxi

[neil]

I know most of you on here have probably passed it :hahaha: but has anyone been in it? I've tried to get tickets for July for Mark's first ring experience but none are for sale on the ring taxi website. I dont fancy waiting in that waiting room all day ;)

Also, is the new museum open yet? I went in 2007 and it was really good then but I hear its now been flattened???

[bryce]

Im considering this too. Should be a right laugh.

Whats the price per person?

[neil]

iirc, it was about £40 each last time I went over, that was in 2007

[E46ACS]

Its 190euros for a lap for 2009. But that covers up to 3 people.

[DazBlackCSL]

It was 50 squid last year , and i was booked to do it , but as the snow stopped play so did the taxi's ...

Prob good if youve not been round before , but my mates who did go on my ticket the following month said it wasnt worth the money .. but then they / we have done quite a few laps now between us , and they are as quick as the ring taxi ..

Will ask where he got em tho :thumbs:

[bryce]

they are as quick as the ring taxi

I might just thumb a lift off of you then Daz :hahaha:

You buy your ticket (which is valid for 2 years) and then book you taxi.

[DazBlackCSL]

Thats probably where !!!!:whistle:

[_Nathan_]

Normally have to book a year in advance - I doubt you'd get a place for July this year?

[Mark CSL]

you cant book july yet :banghead:

[_Nathan_]

I haven't seen the online system before, when I tried to book before you had to use the phone :D

Less impressive since they've been told to slow down anyway.

[csl_mba]

Ring Taxis are pussies.... i went out in the torrential rain in my scumball car when the Taxis cried off :gayfight:

[neil]

ive already tried that link, it says you cant buy the tickets

Donkcsl & myself got a lap with Sabine, normally you’ve to book months in advance but we went into the Ring Taxi office on the of chance there’d be a cancellation & they showed me a list almost 4 pages long. A man over heard us & said there’d be 2 seats free in his taxi as his wife had decided not to go, only problem was, there was 3 of us.

I was talking to one chap who had been in the Ring Taxi many times & had yet to get a lap with Sabine so you can imagine how thrilled he was with our stoke of luck, many feel disappointed after their Ring Taxi experience but Sabine didn’t disappoint!

[2bar boost]

She certainly can pedal :smokin:

[glendog74]

I was very tempted my first time there but never did. I too found that there were slots available as there are usually cancellations.

I wouldn't bother now, partly due to having been round a fair bit myself and partly due to the cost and that i'd rather spend that money on more laps for my own car :thumbs:

[Mark83]

The laps aren't that fast but it's the experience I think people want.

I've only see Sabine driving them a few times. Some friends of mine managed to sweet talk themselves into her car much to the annoyance of people who were due a Sabine lap.

I saw a cracking vid recently of some lads in a ring taxi, infact here it is

[SpineOnABap]

I remember when the BM3W/Mtorque lads went a few years ago they had Hans Stuck give them his number and he said "any time you want a lap give me a call".
I think i'd be on my 1,000,000th phone call by now :hahaha:
One of them got a lap in the CSL

[_Nathan_]

Sabine told a mate of mine who knows her a little bit that she'd take us out in my CSL but it never happened :(

[dave1]

that was well funny matey should do stand up :hahaha:

Lucky git.

[neil]

My mate holds the production lap record at the ring, if we chip in and fly him out he will drive you all round in your cars ;)

here he is in action, with commentary :thumbs:big kahunas !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzxW51EyoWY

he took me around donington in my old csl, that was an experience

[bryce]

Thats amazing. Scary stuff at 5.40 with all the blind bits.

Would be superb if he was prepared to come out and drive our cars :thumbs:

[_Nathan_]

You are mates with Vergers? He is one quick mo fo.

[glendog74]

Nice - good commentary too :smt023

[Mark CSL]

Now thats fast and the car looked out of shape on some parts
scary stuff :thumbs:

[neil]

Would be superb if he was prepared to come out and drive our cars :thumbs:

If he isnt racing the weekend we are all at the Ring. he will come out if we get his expenses. I can probably talk him into 1 on 1 tuition around the ring if people are interested for a nominal fee ;) he doesnt like being a passenger though :hahaha: He will drive the arse off your CSL for you :blalalala: I know he is racing in Le Mans series this year as well as running a Formula Ford team, so dates may clash.

You are mates with Vergers? He is one quick mo fo.

Yes, I have known him since he was driving in Formula Ford. He is the godfather to both of my kids. :smokin:

[bbigman2000]

Really cool vid !! Thanks

Would not thank you for that little thing he was driving though! Quick or not
I wouldnt be seen dead in it.

[_Nathan_]

Lucky you don't care about going fast and have settled for a lardy cruiser then ;)

[Radders]

wow fantastic lap and great commitment, i think there was 3 more seconds to be had out of that lap :hahaha:

[neil]

he told me an extra 20 secs if he had been on slicks :hahaha:

[SpineOnABap]

I remember seeing this when it happened and thinking how cool it was to break the record wearing jeans and a jumper :thumbs:

[neil]
