Anyone who knows about the ring, knows if you hit the barrier, you pay for it!

and the title of this one is : motorsport is dangerous

That's why the track demands respect

I saw the first video on the Ringer Forum, they reckoned he turned in too early and lifted a bit causing him to slide

All I know is I'm going over there next year in the GTi, helll yeeaahh

on the first 1 i think he caught some air very slightly and it just unsettled the car. but that was a citroen diesel. a zx i think..............

ive seen the second 1 b4 and it was goooood!! deadly but gud.

That was the general consensus, apparently that bend has a slight bump which is more pronounced where that guy turned in which is why he caught air slightly

Impressive save on the first video and very lucky avoidance on the second!! Guy in the broken down car is an absolute idiot though for leaving his car there and not warning anyone!

I'll be taking the Golf round there next year - few slow laps i think first

it is called the 'nurburgring' in germany. the 'nordschleife' i think, and it costs about a fiver. im going on what ive heard and not experience so anyboys who's been there will probably know better.

All you should need to know is on here, the Nurburging bible made by Ben Lovejoy.

www.nurburgring.org

A single lap is â‚¬19 (Â£12.79)

I'll be going for a 15 lap ticket, which comes to â‚¬220 (Â£148 - works out Â£9.87 per lap)

can your laps be spread out over the day ora couple of days or do they have to be in 1 go??

ModifiedMadness · Post by **ModifiedMadness** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 9:16 pm

You can spread them out until the ticket runs out afaik (within reason anyway)
