Destination Nurburgring July

Why would rain stop play? Unless someone totalled it big time of course!

Spill the beans then Glendog74. You cannot go making spurious comments like that without hard facts...... or beliveable rumour :whistle:.

A scirocco hire car totalled itself today and I think that ended play. Dunc said it was a complete write off.

Yep it was a proper mess, three wheels pointing the wrong way and the inside looked like a pillow showroom. About a hundred yards of debris but no one hurt. (although it did ruin my flying lap with Dunc :banghead: , although Duncan's commentary after the red flag just after the old pits was very useful!)

That closed the track and then it started to rain hard just before it re-opened, so most people called it a day.

Excellent weekend and good to meet a few more people and see some faces again!

Will sort my photos out when i get home and get the link up.

Them jags are slow:whistle:, I duffed them up in Duncs CSL.

Had a great weekend, absolutely love the place.

Special thanks to firstly Jim, for teaching me quite a bit. And special thanks to Duncan for teaching me quite a bit more, and for letting me learn in your car. One awesomely set-up car, its perfect and just inspired so much confidence.

Me and Duncan had a good few fast-ish laps together, him following me with camera recording, great great fun.

Ill post some vids up tomorrow, im off to bed now, I am absolutely fucked. :beer:

Sounds like the Ring Bug :smt055 has bit Shane :hahaha:
Glad you had a good'en and kept it shiny side up :thumbs:

Just got back and absolutely exhausted. Another quick run back, but quite why there are always queues at the French side of the tunnel is beyond me. At least it gave me plenty of time to admire Titan's new toy on its trailer!

Here's some links to the photos i took on Monday. I've shrunk them down, so they shouldn't take too long to load. As i said to those of you i managed to meet, if you want any, just let me know and i'll email you the hi-res version.

(btw, i've not had the camera long and this was my first attempt at taking photos at a track, so they're a bit rough, but managed to get some advice from Jochen after a few beers on Tuesday night, so looking forward to the next trip!)

No worries!

It was the guy driving the Italian car in the first photo with his arm up. Just as we got up there, the session was red flagged as an alfa had punted the barrier. Whilst we waited for the session to restart, i tried some Macro photography for the first time...
