Destination Nurburgring 2011

[glendog74]

A few photos from my trip to the Ring this week where the weather was awesome and there were some nice machines although unusually few CSLs. :whistle:

The Destination Nurburgring private track days were superb and very well run/organised. I will definitely be doing more of these in the future vice the TF that i usually do as it was so much safer/quieter on track with considerate drivers rather than the usual clowns that you see on the public days... :thumbs:

My car had a geo check at Raeder prior to the first day and i ran -3.5 degrees of camber on the front and -1.7 degrees on the rear. I am now happy with my BBS wheels setup although i had to run with DSC fully off :smokin:

I met a few familiar faces (Jim, Curly, Ian, Jez, Craig, Simon & the boys) and met a few new too (Johnny & Mick) and we had a fair few laughs & beers in the Pistenklaus each night! :beer: I also saw mattCSLnut, monkeycsl, and Clayton at the TF but didn't get the chance to speak to them!

-3.5 butt boy!

When i say not many CSLs, i was referring to the track days. There were plenty on the TF :thumbs:

I'm waiting to see Curly's video too...! :whistle:

I thought that but somehow the backdrop doesn't look right for that corner?

I don't think so - doesn't look right for there either!

They recommended -2.5 for the Ring but i had -3.5 set for UK track days. Cup tyre wear is fine as i carry them in the car on the trip over - as you well know!

285 rears make DSC cut in a lot more even when in M-Track mode so i had to disengage it totally as it was unsettling the car too much. DSC off with SMG in mode 6 is great! :smokin:
