Which hotel are you in Simon? The Dorint? I'm pretty well all set as well but am gonna book a Hotel today.

Got a choice of three I think - Dorint, the one opposite Gus's place and another one about 5 miles out
Need to stay in the same sort of area really, if only for the up.


Gold 320i, BBthrottle body and chip, Jamex susp, 14 inch BBS wrongness. And brown interior.

[psychochild187]

dorint is well exspensive i though
go on to ben lovejoys site and then his where to stay page

[MasterBates320i]

Something will sort itself out!

BTW how the hell do you get an image on here? I can't believe you can't just upload an image off the PC.
You got a link to an other server?

[MasterBates320i]

Just had a call from the Doring - Ԛ£100 a night excluding breakfast.


make a sentence out of this:

Be you fukking must joking.

[Brianmoooore]

anyone fancy going late august........

I'll probably be passing back that way sometime in late Augus, so I doubt if I'll be able to resist calling in for a couple of laps.
For anyone that's not been before - Practice on a Playstation or similar to try to learn the corners before you go.

[psychochild187]

thats good

iam not wrong then about the dorint


edgars is about Ԛ£33 for a double with breakfast and a garage to store all your crap in.

[psychochild187]

oh i know who it is now master bates 320i

[Brianmoooore]

For the skeapskates amongst you, there's a Formule 1 hotel at Koln. (Not too far away). About Ԛ£20 a night for two. Turn up after the reception has closed, and you can sneak a couple others in as well.

[psychochild187]

[psychochild187]

koln thats miles away
like 50miles
youl save petrol money by getting one in the ring its self

[SwirlyE30]

Are you keeping the brown track bitch for a while more then ?

[TouringMatt]

There is a campsite that borders the track, not the cheapest and not the best facilities but you can have huuuuuuuuuuuge fires - nowt beats kicking back with a few beers round a fire IMO - esp after several laps of the 'ring

Oh and i did practice on the PC before i went - and forgot instantly nearly every corner.
After nearly stacking it on the first lap ( i was so lucky i came off where there was some grass to go over ) then frying my brakes and rear tyres ( this was on a FWD car! ) my favourite was to drop my pace and watch GT3's and similar do what they were designed to do

Oh and the locals that use the circuit are insane

Scary place - but feck me is it good

Matt

[psychochild187]

matt bet it was adenau- forst u ran out of road! if it was


i saw a nova do it on his first lap ..common spot !
eveyone turns too early there and runs out !

[TouringMatt]

It could be!

I cant remember the corner, it was not too far into the circuit, fairly fast part, quite a sharp-ish rise and from the tree line it looked like the track went straight on - its was a left right hairpin affair and i realised too late.
Hit the brakes but there was no way i was gonna make the corner - and launched the car off the curb via the sump guard

Back on track, me and my mate looked at each other and i uttered "maybe i should take it a bit easier"

The feeling of dropping into the Karussell and hearing the front splitter catching under suspension compression will live with me forever, the crests and drops is what nothing could prepare me for!



I wanna go back

Matt

[Lordschleife]

Oh and the locals that use the circuit are insane

No they just know the track very well!

Yep thats Adenauer Forst, newbies go off there all the time (so much so they've put concrete blocks down over it for this year)
There was a classic video made years ago (70's?) called Rhapsodie in Blech thats just loads of cars going off/crashing/spinning/rolling there

[psychochild187]

hehe yeh adenau .lol

lordschleife how many times you got there or been theres then, how you know about the blocks!
u another ringer then?

the rise and falls you kinda forget about wen your staring as far aspossible to see the tarmac.
but go passenger and u remember ! there are mad !

[TouringMatt]

No they just know the track very well!

True, but the one who undertook me and then went round the outside of the 205 Pug Turbo i was following, inner rear wheel lifted waaay off the ground was definatly not all there!!

Matt

[Lordschleife]

hehe yeh adenau .lol

lordschleife how many times you got there or been theres then, how you know about the blocks!
u another ringer then?

Yeah been 6 or 7 times, went 1st time in 1998! I'm on the Ringers list so hear quite a bit of stuff

[Lordschleife]

Matt

They should know better than that, you#re only supposed to pass on the left

But the locals do tend to have beaten up disposable ring-toys, usually stripped and caged

[Lordschleife]

just make sure you do it in under 10!!

Pretty easy in a 325 provided you get a fairly clear lap trafficwise

[Lordschleife]

4 shocks upside down bilstein sport things part oil/gas and springs -35mm H&R (Before u ask H&R are all out of cup kits and theres a bit of a wait until they make some more)

Just watch you don't ground out if you take the Fuchsrohre compression flat, or going through th karussell

Wish I was going
Have fun

[psychochild187]

na- wont ground out anywhere i was flat through that comprestion and did 55+ in the karussell . and i had a 40mm drop on spax!
and i did 5 up too

[Lordschleife]

Ahh Ok, just that I knew someone that had H&R cup and found it rubbed in Fuchsrohre

[Davenotouring]

Can't wait, hope the Civic is up for the crack!
