Default The ring this weekend

A couple of pics from this weekend at the ring. After the fog lifted it turned into a gorgeous sunny day


8am before the track opened




then it was playtime






and all too soon it was time to drop the cars off and fly back home



Large video of Dave getting amongst it in his 944 turbo

4 1/2 hours from Calais unless your a biker friend of ours who used to make the trip in 2 1/2 hours ever week. That was at a constant 170 - 176mph....Oh and before you ask it was an R1 and he now flies EVERY WEEK.

Excellent shots, love the first 2 arty shots.

Wish I could afford to go as often as you guys, in fact I wish I could afford to go full stop - new house has put a stop to that

I will make it one day, oh yes

Obviously that doesnt include you driving the track but as my brother said last weekend (his first visit) where else can you see so much exotica playing. Its a buzz just to watch, let alone to drive too.

Gary

If your interested in costs etc then pop over to www.northloop.co.uk and I will help you out.

I'm pretty sure webby doesnt mind me telling you the address as its to give out info not to compete with Scoobynet.

Some very nice shots there! And I like the fleeces, better go check the Northloop merchandising page

Will download the 944 video tomorrow when back at work on a fast connection.

Don't see many 205's on the Ring. What sort of spec is the car?

I thought you maybe interested in this,a lap of the ring in under 7 mins in a BMW gtr, a special car but equally a superb video.
The first 1.5 mins is on Grand Prix Track.

http://gamelle71.free.fr/m3_gtr_nurb...tdrive.org.wmv


On a seperate note G.Pug where did you get your sun roof plated?
How much?
I have just bought a 205 and found out the sunroof leaks, not sure if to repair sun roof or just seal it up!!!
But does seem a shame to ruin what is actually a car in good condition.

Hope link works ok.

My sunroof isnt plated. But if you want it done any good fabrication shop will be able to help you out I should think.

Have a look on my site it shows the spec of the 205 etc. I wont bore everyone on here with the details, they have heard it a 100 times in the past.
Merchandise is very cheap
