Golf R @ring time
« on: August 02, 2010, 08:58:46 am »
Hans Joachim Stuck has just set a time for a full lap of the Nurburgring of 8 min 23 seconds - still slower than the R26R at 8 min 16.9 seconds :sad1:

Hedge pointed me towards a discussion on the R32 forum in similar vein yesterday.  http://www.r32oc.com/general-chat/23978-raced-renaultsport-megane-last-night.html

The Renault is a flimsy piece of sh1t that will likely fall apart around you in 3 years time.  It also weighs a lot less than the R.

IMHO that is a pretty good time for the R in comparison to the Renault.

Daft to compare it to a light weight Renault on 888s, the FRS would have been a better peer really.

The R had more chance of plaiting fog than beating the R26R round the ring. In fact i'd be suprised if it's beat the R26 TBH. Totally different cars. 8:23 is still pretty impressive though.  :happy2:

I put the R26R up there as it holds the FWD production car record :happy2:

7 seconds isn't bad for a car that weighs nearly 300kg more!

Ahh, I worded that wrong - I didn't mean you were daft for comparing it, more it's a daft car for the R to aim to beat..

Tis a good time for the lard arse though, what's the S3's time?

No worries.

The S3 doesn't appear to have a time for the 'Ring. Comparisons put it at around the same times as the Focus RS on other tracks though. My guess in this case would be between the R and the RS.

Well, I suppose the acid test is seeing what the Rocco R does it in, so we'll see exactly what 4WD buys you?

....The Rocco R needs to be driven by the same driver, Joachim Stuck, though for the comparison to be more meaningful.

That's what I was getting at, Robin.  :happy2:
