Yup got VERY close to one at the Nurburgring when the dodgy old duffer who was driving it (who clearly couldn't drive it properly) was adamant he didn't want to let a 'Golf' past!  :laugh:

Got past eventually!  :evilgrin:

BTW, I genuinely wasn't trying to race him, he was just holding me up! 

....[Note to self: If I ever get a Porsche and drive it on Nordschleife, make sure I don't get in Nathan's way - He'll be calling me a dodgy old duffer!]

I call you that whether your in my way or not!  :signLOL:

Like Nathan, I too overtook a 997 GT3RS in the "old ED30" at the Nurburgring - Unlike Nathan, I have a video of it  :P :driver: :signLOL:

....The TVR's are stunning too, but in a different way to the Porsches.

It's actually the recognisable '911' body shape variants over the years which I think are very clever and which I like. Porsche keep managing to serve a new tasty dish but on the same plate.

I love that red TVR colour, of course.  :happy2:

Had a similar experiance when i did a track day at croft 997 Turbo wouldnt let me past. I was WAY faster but he had a slight power adantage on the straights. And this is the surprising thing - it was just a slight power advantage!

I was driving one of these at the time

I raced a porsche at the ring, didnt over take it though, come to think, i never saw it again after 1 corner :grin:

Almost got back ended by a lambo at the carousel.  fooked a gear change up, went from 4th to 5th instead of 3rd lol.

For me a TVR is a blunt tool where as the higher end Porker 911's, i.e. GTS, GT3 RS, are more a surgical instrument.

2 ways to achieve a similar result.  :wink:

I've had about 6-7 laps in gt3 rs's around the Nürburgring and they are awesome. Thye make sense on the rIng, I don't know about owning one in the Uk though. Mind you if I did, I'd be hooning over ton the ring every other weekend!

Im not sure I could agree with that, cant get more raw and involving than a TVR. No nannies or electrical aides to help you. A big bad road going go kart that will put your life in danger

GTR, Evo, Corvette, blunt tools imo.

GT3's, Ferraris, TVR, surgical instrumenys
