Destination Nurburgring July

[DazBlackCSL]

Boys

As im doing a duncan ballantyne and ouut for this trip now, just want to check numbers and see if anyone else wants to take rooms at the tiergarten ?

Currently my booking is for 6 rooms for 3 nights.

16/07/11 - 19/07/11 so that's the sat / sun / and monday nights all twin rooms in my name.

Need to cancel or amend so just a show of hands

Lawsey got you down for 4 x twins for Sat night only.
Alex needs a twin not sure what dates outside of saturday
Shim think you needed Sat and Sun ? or can you can share with alex sat / sun ? Just let me know what you both need.

Anyone else ??

Daz

Im not booked up anywhere as yet mate, so may be looking, as Saturday TF times are shite, I may travel out then arriving Sat pm, and chuck a couple of cheeky ones in between 5 ~ 7pm, need to save tyres for Mon & Tues so wont be giving it the beans all day Sunday ... but ... on the other hand I havent used my JK as yet !:banghead:

[shimmy]

Sunday and Monday night for me, my own room is fine :hahaha:

[DazBlackCSL]

Shane Lawsey - 4 x twin rooms for Sat 16th ONLY
Shimmy - 1 x Twin room Monday 18th Only

Chaps, as some of you may know, Brussels is now even more of a traffic fuck up than normal. Big road alterations there at the mo. So I suggest you avoid.

I usually go via Antwerp to miss out Brussels anyway. One of my biggest clients is there also but that has nothing to do with paying for fuel on the company credit card. :whistle:

There are other alternatives such as a Southern loop via Lille but either way avoid Brussels.:thumbs:

Happy travels and see you in the bar.:beer:

[DuncanR]

Route I will take will be Calais - Lille - Mons - Namur - Liege on E42 TURN RIGHT (SARF ) - Verviers - come off @ Prum - onto B410 - Kelberg - TL B257 - Ring !
Via Brussels = 286 miles
Via Liege = 299 miles .. go figure !

Sure thing, are they in your name?


>>>>> I will be cancelling these two rooms tomorrow morning. If anyone needs one, or both, let me know before 10am.

[Pip1968]

If anyone is cancelling last minute please let me know.

Due to work I am usually unable to book anything well in advance. In short I did a CAT Driver Training day with Colin yesterday who mentioned the DN event and although he tried to get me on last minute it is fully booked for Monday/Tuesday. The wife gave me the thumbs up last night after I told her it was all booked up.

Either way I hope it all goes smoothly, the weather holds and there are no 'offs' :thumbs:.

I'm sitting in Stansted departures with 20 Team Lotus techies all around me trying to talk to me and pick my brains, but I'm letting no trade secrets out! ;)

[Johnnywb]

Just popped back to the hotel to download pics. Not on track today, but out with the camera, got a lot of CSL ones. Will post up a link when i've compressed them a bit. (not now, later!)

Here's a quick one;

"Strewn" I take it that is in a good way. What about the weather. I have been trying to console my lack of attendance with the fact that the weather is not ideal.

Pip

[DazBlackCSL]

Weather looks it's usual changeable conditions, judging by the pic ..

Wish I was out there regardless :smt090

[Johnnywb]

Yep, pretty changeable, rain showers then sun. Session closed early due to the level of barrier damage today.

Don't believe any CSL's were harmed though *touch wood*

Good to hear :thumbs:

Did the hotel thing get all sorted ? Was playing golf / society thing for three days, so no phones allowed ( far too serious for my liking ) :hahaha:

[Pip1968]

So where were the danger spots in the wet weather? I kept my eye on the Nurburgring camera today and believe I saw two new blue XKR-S parked on the track side of the chain link fence towards the end of the afternoon. Were they in the mix too?

I was offered the chance to fill a gap on Tuesday but declined due to the rush it would have been to get there all for just a day in 'changeable' weather.

unfortunately strewn like discarded fish and chip paper:bigcry: I didnt see the gt40 accident, but it was a pile up......

weather is actually good, a brief shower at lunch but the track was shut anyway, and by the time I'd queued for lunch it was dry and open again:beer:

It lashed down just as the evening tf opened, so I waited for an hour before taking Alex out, foxhole and bergwerk were the last places to dry out:smokin:


I was woken up by the gumpert boys cracking up one of there 3 cars outside my window at 6am this morning - better than birdsong anyday of the week!

Why would rain stop play? Unless someone totalled it big time of course!

[shimmy]

I left about 11am and popped to the fence at Flugplatz and Brunschenenenene and the weather was absolutely gorgeous, Alex and Titan out and Northern Monkey Jim blagging as many passengers and drive rides as he could.

Not sure about after I left though

[shane@mbtech]

Them jags are slow:whistle:, I duffed them up in Duncs CSL.

Had a great weekend, absolutely love the place.

Special thanks to firstly Jim, for teaching me quite a bit. And special thanks to Duncan for teaching me quite a bit more, and for letting me learn in your car. One awesomely set-up car, its perfect and just inspired so much confidence.

Me and Duncan had a good few fast-ish laps together, him following me with camera recording, great great fun.

Ill post some vids up tomorrow, im off to bed now, I am absolutely fucked. :beer:

A scirocco hire car totalled itself today and I think that ended play. Dunc said it was a complete write off.

Yep it was a proper mess, three wheels pointing the wrong way and the inside looked like a pillow showroom. About a hundred yards of debris but no one hurt. (although it did ruin my flying lap with Dunc :banghead: , although Duncan's commentary after the red flag just after the old pits was very useful!)

That closed the track and then it started to rain hard just before it re-opened, so most people called it a day.

Excellent weekend and good to meet a few more people and see some faces again!

Will sort my photos out when i get home and get the link up.

Just got back and absolutely exhausted. Another quick run back, but quite why there are always queues at the French side of the tunnel is beyond me. At least it gave me plenty of time to admire Titan's new toy on its trailer!

Here's some links to the photos i took on Monday. I've shrunk them down, so they shouldn't take too long to load. As i said to those of you i managed to meet, if you want any, just let me know and i'll email you the hi-res version.

(btw, i've not had the camera long and this was my first attempt at taking photos at a track, so they're a bit rough, but managed to get some advice from Jochen after a few beers on Tuesday night, so looking forward to the next trip!)

No worries!

It was the guy driving the Italian car in the first photo with his arm up. Just as we got up there, the session was red flagged as an alfa had punted the barrier. Whilst we waited for the session to restart, i tried some Macro photography for the first time...

Suntan, not enough driving Jo ;) .

Perhaps I should have taken your offer after all. It is just that it is a long way to go for just one day's driving and I think I would have struggled with accommodation. Possibly look at Touristfahrt at the end of the month if I am still around.

Were most running on Cups - CSLs can carry both but Porsche have to commit.

Pip

[AlexGTT]

Great trip chaps. Had much fun on and off track.:thumbs::beer: Sorry for late reply. Been hard at work since back.:bigcry:

Have a few vids on vbox so will put one or two up as soon as I figure out how.;) Can't wait to get back, August I hope.

Dunc, thanks for dinner in Comfy Corner. That was a great night with the Team Lotus boys. :beer: I owe you and the boy dinner next time.:thumbs:

Jim................get a CSL. NOW.;)

[glendog74]

Jim................get a CSL. NOW.;)

You're wasting your time Alex... :banghead::whistle:

[rstoughy]

Yep what a great few days. Nice to catch up with Dunc, Adam, Jim and Nick Johnson again and great to meet Shane and the crew, Alex, Kev, Craig, Grant and Johny. (along with a load of RS nuts from my Ford days as well)

Was a bit of a treck only getting in the door Thursday around 15:30 so been playing catch up since.
Car is all cleaned and put back to normal with it's road wheels on but has received a couple of battle scars. Lots of quite big chips out the paint and the dog got over excited when i got home and ran into the feckin door so that has a pretty big dent in it now :banghead: :hahaha:
Front wheels are needing stripped and re painted due to smoke damage, guess i over cooked the brakes a little :whistle:

Have some car park pics and plenty of vids from my near on 30 laps of the couple of days so will get them uploaded soon. The vbox vids seem to take an age to upload to youtube so will try from the office on monday and see if thats any quicker.

Only gripe of the whole trip was my warning light issue but I managed to work round that for the trip. Never done it on the road, only on track.

All in all a great few days of petrol fuelled fun and banter :thumbs: roll on the next time :smokin:

[northernjim]

Cheers for the Laps Paul:beer: great driving by the way, very smooth indeed:thumbs::thumbs:




Jim................get a CSL. NOW.;)


After becoming ever more deeply indebted to Dunc:smt055:smt055:smt055:smt055:smt055 the argument is becoming even harder to resist.:bigcry: but.....


You're wasting your time Alex... :banghead::whistle:

[glendog74]

I still can't afford both, and you know project 8 mins isn't quite there yet!:bigcry:

I didn't know it was a 'project'... Just get it sold and buy a CSL with BBK and Cup tyres - then 8 mins will be there for the taking young sensei... :thumbs: :smokin:

[rstoughy]

Yeah punt the "project" Jim and get yourself the car you NEED ;) heck I done an 8:30 with destroyed brakes, 68,000 mile old suspension, wonky gears in "safe mode" and only my 2nd visit so with the right tools you will smash your 8min target :smokin:

[shimmy]

Jim

If you have a goal forget all these 'get a CSL' muppets and succeed in your goal of 8mins, then move on and sell the RS and buy a CK then. You can also at that point sell your Burberry cap, all white puma trainers, and panties. :smokin:

Hmmmm - a 'standard' Focus maybe... Not your 'slightly stroked' (and somewhat light and over-braked) car!

Your FRS lacks a little in mid-range and top-end speed but which only really affects you on a couple of sections at the Ring. The rest of the time you were able to stay with me just fine on the twisty bits... :whistle: :birdman:
