Great looking car, like the front mount too. I'd love to do the 'Ring in mine one day. What speed did you get on the long straight?

I didnt really clock the speedo, but at a guess i would say 130-140ish. It was the first time I had ever tracked my car apart from 1/4 mile, and only my 2nd lap round. Was really enjoyable, and would recommend evryone does it at least once.

I reckon that had it not been for the few track incidents, a low 9 minute lap (bridge to gantry) was on the cards. I was very pleased with the way it went, I thought i was more nearer 11-12 minutes. Looking forward to going again, and maybe pushing a bit further next time round.

Nearly 10 minutes? I did a twelve minute lap in a 1600cc Skoda Felicia full of tools and camping kit and a co-pilot on this years Scumball Rally: and it was a cold and wet morning in April!

This was my 1st ever track experience, but a most enjoyable experience I was very impressed by a lot of drivers out there, and some could really pedal a car. Looking back there were certainly sections where I could have kept my foot in, but inexperience dictated otherwise. Gives me something to aspire to, if I get there is another story

Ultimately the fun factor far out weighs chasing times for me

The sites I found were

Ring Fokus - Willkommen
http://www.sportfotoart.de/
54 Photography
Nurburgring Nordschleife Webcam Log - ßeta

The basic mods to my car are

Apexi Ecu
FMIC
Full exhaust/headers
18g turbo
Bigger injectors
Stoptech brakes on front
Eibach street coilovers.
and one useless driver

Enjoy mate !
BUT forget the lap timing, learn the track and keep an eye in the rear view for those race prep'd 911's....
