80's tyres made from coal and chronic understeer = soon as you get chucked out of that camber, you're in s***!
Sideways yo!

no definately not, but looking at the speed of the car and degree of corner, id say with the advances in suspension, chassis and tyre technology, youd get a modern hot hatch around that.

Subject to a clean dry track obviously!

Clean dry track? At the 'Ring?!  :signLOL:

I reckon the rental Kia Pro C'eed 1.4 I last took around the 'Ring might have just barely made that.

I gave it back to the Hertz guy in Frankfurt stinking of clutch and brake and wheezing slightly... He sez to me "car was alright?" (from a distance), I sez "better than expected", toss him the keys and head to my flight :P Good thing he didn't inspect it before I took off!

Mat has just posted in another area - So he is around. But he does 'disappear' occasionally - Perhaps he has more of a life than some of us do!

So, I'm setting off early tomorrow morning as I have a couple of people to see en route to hooking up with Hurdy tomorrow evening.

Are we all ready?



My car is : -



See you guys sometime over the weekend as I'm going with another group. Also I'm not coming back to the UK until Tuesday.

Have Fun but Safe Journeys!

....I just read this ^ - What a bummer!! :sad1:

The only consolation is that he's at least been there lots of times and there'll be other times in the future.
