Who was at The Ring last weekend??

Hi all, I was at the Ring last weekend for the Porsche Classic weekend, and obviously took the opportunity for a few, well 9 in total, laps of the Ring. I noticed a whole load of CSL's there, a few British cars and a couple of Irish, one in particular that was flying! Obviuosly his first time!!! Lol. I was managing, just, to keep up with him, although he was good to follow as I didn't have a clue where I was going at first, till he passed me, but following someone with some knowledge of the track helps in a big way!! Anyone else over there last weekend???

I was in a Speed Yellow 911 C4S.

Whopwhop (Irl reg) and Fez (NI reg) are both out there often...

I wouldn't be able to differentiate!! The car I was following had a white plate, with I think, 2 characters, 2 characters then 4 or 5?? With a badge to one side with "IRL" on it, silver grey car. I had more on my mind trying to chase him, he is obviously familiar with that track! Lol. I love the Porsche, but must admit, I still miss my M3!!

Most probably Whopwop then!

THAT is a MINTED photo of Whoppum right there. Look at the outside tyres!!! Cracking shot!

That pic is Whopwop - Woppum has/had the River Island CSL

I was there weekend of 8/9 Aug... UK car going fairly slowly

Counted 8 CSLs there that weekend, and saw Steve Gill on Sunday evening going fairly rapidly

Hi Mole, I remember seeing you over there. I passed you at one point, you weren't going that slowly though!!

How did you enjoy it? Is your car standard?

Saw you as well mole, you looked to be going pretty well yourself

Did hang about on Sunday evening to come and say hello Steve but you were out lap after lap and I had to shoot off.

Jim, had a really good weekend, forgot how good the ring was as haven't been for a couple of years. Only managed 2 busy/foggy laps on Saturday due to the late opening/fog but did 6 on Sunday and loved every one. Seems to have gone up a few € a lap, plus the dodgy exchange rate made it quite dear per lap compared to previous visits. Car is standard!
