Here's a few pics from my latest Ring visit. Had a great weekend and met some top blokes from the Ford RS Focus owners club who had brought 14 cars over - all of them staying at the 'Ringhaus' where we were. I took 8 of them out in my CSL and they all loved it - i've even converted a few due to CSL induction roar alone! I also had a ride in a Focus driven by a madman which was 'interesting'...! :eek:

The BMW Driver Training School also pitched up with over £1 million worth of V8 E92 M3 - 22 in total! There were also a few Nissan GT-Rs testing there, an RCN race, a few CSLs, as well as the usual stuff and Sabine in the M5 'Ring Taxi'.

Hi Rob,

its the ..... err madman here

I did want to have a little chat about our respective rides....as we didnt get chance as i had to go to the airport..

HA so thats what you really thought

I suppose i do push my car quite hard? But I do know that my AP's will slow me down in time, you'd have had a better idea of their capabilities on a regular trackday, they just work better the harder you go.. every lap all day long

nice pics too

Hi Madman - i mean Jim!

I see you've joined the CSL forum! I've been snooping around the RS Owners Club - i think your Madman moniker is quite accurate...!

It would have been good to have had a chat about the cars afterwards as i was genuinely impressed by the Focus after my lap with you Has Womble bought a CSL yet?! I have a couple of small vids of my lap with you too if you want them sending on.

Oh, i may be going out there in 2 weekends time if you're up for it!

Hi Rob,

yeah fancy my mate wanting to come out to join in the fun.... spoiling my sunday afternoon blast

well here is my appraisal of your car......


very very very nice

all the rs boys were very impressed with your car.. womble went to see one on his way home ....

when we went out in yours first, i was surprised how easy it felt, yet you were driving quickly, i know you could have pushed harder your car def has more left in reserve then mine...to be honest i felt a little embarrassed, i knew you would find mine a very different experience entirely...

and then we went out in mine.....


bumpy noisy slidey with too much tyre squeal!

i realise i do need to raise my ride height on my coilovers to let my sus work a bit better.... the ring highlighted that for me!

oh and a bit more power would be nice too



yeah i'd love to see any footage you may have? I'll pm you my info if you dont mind?

when do you think you will be going back? i've had a lot of hols already... but I know I won't be able to wait till next sept to go back....

cheers jim
