To all you Ringers

Forget the fastest lap. Have you seen a tour bus going sideways round the ring, and an estate car with THREE mountain bikes on the roof!!!!!!!!

I HAVE. Beat that!

You can't actually do a flying lap at The Ring as you have to come in each time.
My time of 8.26 is from 'bridge to gantry'. The problem with this is that you're not a full chat when you pass under the bridge. They reckon you should add about 25 seconds or so onto your time, not allowing for this fact. Therefore I would guess that my 8.26 actually equates to about 8.48ish.
Still not bad for a first-timer though eh?
I hope you'll be coming yourself next time?

Fastest full flying lap with a scoob till now is: 8.37 , it was Horst von Saurna from Sport Auto in a STANDARD UK.
What do you think is possible with a RB5, STI, P1 or 22B with a top-driver?
8.10 - 8.15 ? Faster??

I read last year that the Skyline GTR V-SPEC R34 did it in 7min 53 sec....fastest ever...
I just bought a new MY01 WRX..is it really that much slower..?????

To the best of my knowledge, the best time at the ring is (was) held by a heavily modified 'blitz' twin turbo supra.

I wait pateintly to be corrected.

I've seen the above car a few times tho, and its not something you could go and get the shopping in!!

PT - 'was' is the correct term. Current holder (IIRC) is a modified Porsche, which lopped a second of off the 7:49 set by the Supra to post just over 7:48.

Nice article:

robski

what sort of time do the big bikes post?

thing is, driver knowledge has got to make a big difference to this, if you know the track absolutely you only have to get used to the machinery. Thats what test drivers do, they know 100% of the track, so they are testing the machinery, not themselves.

I heard Harj likes to play around with rings

Surely a Mclaren F1 would do the fastest prodution car time by miles. Anyone know if it's been timed round there?

Matt Oz

Arron,

I think the rings that Harj likes are normally of the doughnut variety!!

went to the ring last year and saw a Volvo estate going round towing a trailer with a bike on it! (Ducati I think).

Is that any good?

I went round the ring with an Instructor who timed me at 8 mins 47 secs including the Bridge and Gantry. Shame I didn't get the lap on Video as the fastest on Video was 8mins 55secs.

This was without pushing the 22B to its limits as max power is only 6000 revs.

Harj...

I think the posts that Matt Oz likes are normally of the double variety!!

Dunno what i was doing but it was quicker than the 22B by a fair margin.

Sadly my video camera stopped working well before my fast laps, bugger
