Project: S2 Coupe Continously upgrade

[Rusty]

Sweet, I think I've emailed to see what the postage is over here. If it's reasonable then I think a CroMo rear cage might be coming my way...

CroMo

The inboard movie was ok, but not great quality... Anyway, its a approx 8.40 btg lap with heavy traffic and yellow flag. + some "easy" driving at Breidscheid and Plafzgarten due to some loose items sliding beetween my legs after the Flugplatz "accident". Stupid me leaving these items in door side/panel

While the movie is uploaded I can post some pictures from the trip:

First ones of all the cars that joined this trip.

And then some pictures I took Monday when Aston Martin had rented the track. Awesome sound from these cars

You have one real nice motor there. It is one place i've always wanted to go too,but there is time yet for me to get there. Sounds as if your a nutter on the track!!!!!!!!!

The pics you got are good,not a lover of the Aston Martins but i have seen the green one with yellow on it race in the GT cup over here. Like you said the sound is awesome from them.

8:30 is a bloody good time so it really must be coming together nicely I reckon the S2 and other heavier cars will get more out of the R888's than others because the risk of aquaplaning should be significantly reduced.

How slippery was it in the rain and where are the worst sections?

Forgot to answer this one
It was quite slippery especially when it was pooring down. As Andy says, The bottom of Hatznebach and beginning of Hocheichen are bad, as is the right hander at Bruenchen. Adenauer Forst and Wehrseifen can also be tricky. You really need to feel your way through the first laps in the wet.

Great photos reckon some carbon B pillars would look great on that colour S2.....

Yeah wilst not a real fan of Aston's, there is something really mean looking and sounding from those DB9R's watched them at Le Mans in 2007 and they just sound fantastic with that huge V12, would have been great to see and hear round the Ring for sure.

Nice going

I Like your rear silencer.
Do you have a better picture of it ?

[s2driveruk]

You mean some non-road legal ones?

Good work Magarv. But where are the videos?

....ah yes forgot its a public road

[magarv]

Thanks I only found this old picture... I have now replaced the rear Magnaflow silencer with one from Ferrita. (3,5" custom made)

Not if you have £795 for a track day there

Video time

I have a little mixed feelings when watching this movie... I realy hope they split up bikers and cars next year as the rumor says...

The biker at Flugplatz checks both his mirrors just before we catch up with him, then he kind of sits up and relaxes just as we pass him. I was 110% he was letting me pass him. Then he just turns in

I'll guess I just have to learn from the situation and keep in mind how some people think and react... (including myself on the other hand)

And I realy need to do something with my pedal assembly. As for now it is just impossible to use "heel-toe" with my small feet...

But it looks really nice

Ahhh, I see.

Maybe this shows it better. It is just a 3,5" bend cut in half.

nice clip - totally see what you mean about bikers.....be interesting if thy do end up sessioning bikes and cars then next year. Having seen the result of a bike smash at galgenkopf on my first lap it's probably no bad thing, though IMO 90% of the bikers I saw were pretty curtious and did signal for being let past or allowing me past.

[magarv]

I agree that most of them give signal. My consern was also about how vulnerable a biker is compared to the car. A little "bumbing" will wipe them out instantly, with two cars you would in most cases just be presented for a big bill....
The signal/not letting passed problem is just as big when it comes to cars.
