10:04 BtG is impressive, you weren't driving like a dick and there were track incidents and traffic.

I clocked a 10:50 with one yellow flag and an idiot in a Celica with no rear view mirror. - Can't wait to get back in July with the M52 in...


Had a few mates there same weekend and I know how busy it was. - Was dead on track in your vid. - Were you first there?!

Guidance was very good, no idea who it was but they seem to know the layout well. - Bit cautious with you for some turns, but safety is better than an armco bill!

Look up Dale from BTG or Ron Simons, who has the 75 Experience school... - Blag a pax lap if it's the last thing you do. - Ron has been driving the Ring in anger for 25 years and I learned more from his commentary and lines in one passenger lap than I had in my previous 10 laps!
On such busy weekend there's no need to get the stopwatch out. You'll be driving your wheels of and in the end it will show something silly slow and you will only be disappointed. I have done a few laps in the past and just by lifting of once or twice to overtake a slower car, 30sec added. And that was on a failry quite track. So imagine the time penalty on this weekend.
Even moving out of the way for faster cars will cost you time.

don't worry about the laptimes, you had a lot of fun. That is what I am looking for, sod the laptimes.

Was good to meet you fella, your M3 looks very well :cool:
Likewise, shame we didn't have more time to chat during the weekend.
I am going back 27th June - 30th June. Anybody else going that weekend (the inofficial german M3 meeting, but unorganiseed)? I am happy to take you out for a PX lap if the passenger seat is free.

Sounds like that will be a great weekend and would love a pax lap but ill be a Glastonbury that weekend, very kind of you to offer though sir. :D

Yeah get your lap up dude!!

Ok, its a year late and its the lap before i binned the tech1, was my 21st lap out there, the car was down on power slightly and we had roadworks on the carousel.
We had a fairly clear track and gave a new scoobie a good run for its money, far from perfect but my best so far.
Wasnt really aware this was being filmed, i told my passenger on this trip, if your going to film anything, dont tell me just do it.




M20's sound better :D
