Default My Nurburging and Spa trip

Just back from the Ring and Spa last night, awesome trip! I should be back to the ring very soon! After 3 days in the Ring, Spa became pretty boring as the track is so wide so I ended up drifting at most of the corner in Spa.

So here is my first ever lap at the Nurburging, did 8mins 40ish. Did much faster in the afternoon but always got block with accident or traffic.

Nurburging in Wet, Did 10mins 23, can be much faster but mate beside me nearly fainted...

Part 2- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JNbl0OUKd4

Spa video will be up tonight!

Everyone else in the world uses the Bridge on the main straight just after you exit the toll booth, to the gantry after the last corner exit onto the main straight as the timing points for public days. Hence BTG (Bridge To Gantry).

Lap times are irrelevant but I've watched the vid and if that was your first time round it's very neat and tidy. Seem to know where you're going just a few confidence lifts in the faster stuff. Great driving.
