The ring with RINGA...
#1
You clearly had a good time.
When I went to the 'Ring with WheelTorque, myself and my mate were taken out in a Volvo for a couple of laps by Willie Green.
Can this man drive! I have never enjoyed a drive so much. Simply awesome.

Yesterday I had the privilege of being the "co-pilot" of Mr. Gardner...
What an experience!
I've only been to the ring a couple of times, and I've had enormous fun there! I've even driven a couple of laps myself...and I was bloody fast... or so I thought
Untill yesterday!
I know Ringa was at least 5 minutes ( )a lap faster...(I had the impression that we lapped everybody twice! in one lap!) and it felt great!!! At one moment he said: "I always try to be as smooth as possible"...and smooth it was!!! He never seemed to go that fast, untill you saw him whooshing past everybody...everything was so calculated, looked so easy and calm... I'm still overawed!
And all that, while trying to have a bit of a conversation with a nitwit (me) who was "playing" the controls a bit (unknowingly)...
So,
If you ever get the chance of having a ride with Mr. Ringa... take it! You won't regret it! To me it was a real eye-opener... I still have tonnes of things to learn!
Mr. Gardner: Thank You!
