Been to the 'Ring? - What Time?
I'm sure there's a boatload of you who have experienced the best weekend away possible by tootling around this amazing place.
Question is - when & what time did you manange. I've only completed two wobbly laps on my Firebalde, most of which were spent checking my mirrors. Time was about 12 minutes and 30 seconds. Scary on two wheels, but then I do have small bollocks. Can't wait to have a go in a car.

Having said that the guys who can hustle a bike around in less than 8 mins have to be seen to be believed. What have you managed (in what?)

How about 6.15 in a nismo 350z racing spec? (PS2 GT3)
This is not going exactly to plan......

The buses I find OK, they`re big and keep out of the way, whats annoying about the bikes is they all think they`re quick down the straights and up through the forest but then brake so hard for the bends and refuse to move off the racing line that they ruin your lap. I understand that everyone wants to have as much fun as possible and its annoying having to move off the racing line but I think it would be better and much, much safer for everyone if the bikes and cars ran seperately (maybe an hour each, or something ?) I went twice this year and on both occasions there were biker fatalities. Don`t get me wrong bikes can be great in the right hands and watching the one or two truly skilled riders keeping up with the Zakspeed vipers is awesome but I find most of the riding there terrifying. |

Have to agree with you about the speed in the corners and the idea about separating cars and bikes. I think after riding around the circuit, keeping the cars and bikes apart would probably benefit both camps. (Personally, I spent most of the laps on the right hand side of the course, and as I said at least two eyes on the mirrors.)

Fucking Magic. The A & B roads from Spa to the Ring have to be some of the best around. Autobhans? waste of time. Good camping and entertainment at the ring as well. Top Weekend
