Not too much traffic on the Ring! Nice when it's like that. How many laps have you done?

Thanks to Sonic for the pax lap at the Ring. Funny we should bump into each other there.
It was good to get a lap in a car with some decent power. Those R888's gripped well, and the brakes had me suspended by the seatbelt a few times.
I always like the fact that, like me, Andy drives the Ring relaxed and up for a bit of chat as we go around. Although searching for a phone while going from the Karussell up to Hohe-Acht was a bit of an assault on the senses.
I'm so glad the car made it to the Ring and performed well, after all the troubles. I am looking forward to Andy having more time to get used to the car, then getting another ride in it.
Nice weather? If you like it 35°C. I'm not sure Andy does since his AC has been removed.
I find there seems to be less traffic on the Ring the faster you go.SS

Nice video Andy, getting ready for the next trip now...?
Stu, I know what you mean with the aircon, I sometime wonder if I should have fixed mine rather than remove it a few years backGreg

Just to confirm that it was you looking for the phone at Hohe-Act, not me whilst navigating the ring
The car was absolutely fantastic, the lack of ac not so, and although i have all the parts somewhere in my garage, i don't think i'll be re-fitting it.

The ring is a special place, but given the costs involved in getting there, the increased cost of laps/fuel, the fact that it's busier now with less predictable tf hours and the insurance stakes have never been higher.... i'll be complimenting my ring trips with UK track-days and doing the odd run to the ring as and when it takes my fancy and funds allow.S2Forum.com Administrator

You'll hear me lifting quite early and braking/cornering without to much aggression, but even then i reckon this is a sub-9 lap, just... i guess i'm getting soft in my old age!

Yeah that lap wasn't massively quick and you can see i wasn't pushing it at all, that said, i was on the power pulling out of corners but it was taking a little longer than expected to spool up the turbo, something which i'll have to get used to with the car now.
Also there is a big "jump" when it hits 4krpm and goes up to 2.3bar, between 3 and 4 it sits at 1.6bar.S2Forum.com Administrator

Oh yes, the fast sections from Quiddelbacher Hohe all the way down to Adenauer Forst are just epic.
Keeping it WOT down foxhole, and only breaking on the uphill section into the first left-hander is a real buzz with the combination of both power and braking ability
I was doing similar timed laps when the car was stock, but my god was i pushing it to its limits.
It now feels like it easily does a 9-minute lap, so i'd be interested to think what it can do when pushedS2Forum.com Administrator

I got a garage for another £30 also.S2Forum.com Administrator
