Perfect day - We're Back!! Mission accomplished at the 'Ring

[Poppa Dom]

I recognise that ATP prepped Evo, lovely car!

Whats that silver blur on all those photo's???  






















Oh that must be Hurdy flying past!  

[T88OMM]

That video is extremely impressive Hurdy!

Nice one lads, great footage John,    M3

John was it still stripped out? weight saving must make a big difference

Hi Neil,

The ED30 did have the rear seats out and no spare steel wheel (had 4 in the car!!). I reckon by going for it I can strip the car below 1100kg.

The M3 is a lovely car.....just not faster than an ED30

All day I was overtaking M3's and only once let a seriously modified CSL pass just to follow his race lines (even then he didn't get away!)

If you seriously want sound and speed, get a MKV R32 DSG and either supercharge or turbo it (£30k will get you the car and 500bhp!!)

Good that you lost it safely though Robin, you'll know exactly what it feels like when it's on the limit again next time and correct it before it snaps.

....I'll be keeping the ESP on for a while on the Nordschleife though and go for road-legal track tyres and a tad more frontal camber with TT arms (Hurdy's advice).

Earlier, George suggested the option of going slow with ESP off and building it up over time.

your car will be an absolute weapon with them on RR.

Sy, are you going back to germany after coneheads?

So long as I'm not worse off with 2 increments this year and
getting a pad in august, the ring will be 2nd home :)

....Not as powerful a weapon as Master Hurdy's though! I just need to learn to exploit my car's handling a bit more. I want to go to the August private trackday at the Ring if I can. But also Oulton Park.

So very jealous mr hurdy.

EDIT: I just noticed I'm giving my usual one-finger greeting!

Love this pic Robin, it is very dynamic. 

Looks like you had a blast chaps, with amazing track conditions. 

[SKAVIA]

Great write up guys - well done! 
Hurdy - that video is stunning! You seem to know exactly when to brake and which line to take for the corners 
It was like watching The Stig!!
It shows what can be achieved with a fast car and a good driver....'supercars' are put to shame!

Love this pic Robin, it is very dynamic.

....That Mercedes grandstand is such a landmark. Can you imagine driving there when it's full of people!

We were so lucky with the conditions - As you know, the weather there is predictably unpredictable and there could even have been snow!

I bet you're so looking forward to your May trip - Not long now

Yes very much looking forward to it now, especially going with the youngun's as well, Joe Tom and Jay. 

Robin how come you said earlier in the thread, that you may not be visiting the ring any more.

Robin how come you said earlier in the thread, that you may not be visiting the ring any more. 

....I meant that I might not go to any more Touristfahrten days and only go to private trackdays at the Ring (there's another being planned for August).

I'm not anti Touristfarting - It's just that with my limited experience I felt so much safer without the bikes and buses and that inevitable percentage of drivers who don't actually have much clue how to be safe.
