[glendog74]

I'll be at the Ring for the first time this coming Sunday and Monday (10th/11th)- hopefully i will keep it on the tarmac...!

Just been touring round the Alps the last few days - the Stelvio Pass is awesome and a must for any petrol head. Will post pics when i get back next week!

Hi glendog,
Was it you I was speaking to in the car park on Sunday?
How did you get on during your 2 days at the Ring?

I was gutted to find out a Veyron turned up 1 hour after I left on the Sunday. The next day Black Falcon brought down some very cheap cars. An Enzo, a Carrera GT, a Maserati MC12 and a Koennigsegg.

Hi MaKSiNG - yeah that was me, i was hoping you might be there the next day as the weather was good with only one 30min closure all day! I did 16 laps in the end and felt a lot more comfortable on the Sunday and was harrassing Porsches nicely! My rear PS2s have seen better times though!!!

I saw all those cars - lovely! The Enzo was on track also as well as a Lambo Gallardo Super Leggera - which sounded awesome!

I'm certainly hooked - as you said on the Saturday, lol!

So wish I could have stayed for the Monday.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the trip. I will give you a shout next time I go to see if you are up for it

Nice one, no worries

I was at the ring for the first time a few weeks ago and lost the back end in the wet at Hatzenbach. I managed to touch the armco and clip my rear quarter. As I was 'taking instruction' at the time the third party rang up the armco police who charged a call out fee ~£50-100 (I do not rightly remember the exact amount). There was no damage to the armco but some expensive repairs have just been completed by BMW.

I too cried at the damage and it was the only thing that ruined the four day trip. The second day it was warm and dry on track and so was ideal.

The small morale booster was hearing some small boy on the balcony at the ring cafe saying "Look daddy a CSL".

Small things.
