9 Minute and 8 Seconds

donovan · 02-13-2011, 11:45 AM

Not to bad for 42 degrees/slightly wet on PS2 for my second lap of the year on the Nurburgring(first lap was a trial run). :thumbsup2:

It was a nice day today on the ring, I saw maybe 2 people the whole time driving and I held my own decently with a few older Porsche and juiced up Minis. It was about 43-41 degrees fahrenheit today and overcast with a hint of sun from time to time to burn up the moisture on the track. I've been 8 min 23 second in a friends CSL last season and that was my fastest ever and we were moving.. I hope to break 8 minutes before I leave Germany in May

Ciao everyone...

I also like the cruisecam mounts, but use the longer version that connect both headrests. My logic is to avoid having and exposed spear in the car in case of an accident.

lol ^ good idea, who wants a spear in the neck.

no video allowed on public lapping dono. the ring however will rent a webcam system which has been in the works for months. latest date it will be available is now in March sometime.

donovan · 02-15-2011, 05:17 AM

The one that connects to both is a good idea, you can also attach it to the drivers headrest so the spear points the other way, this way it just puts the passenger at risk.....

I hope this is the case and in place. If I make it to the ring I would definitely want to record my experience.

I watch my laps at least once a month. Used a GO PRO HD.

OP good time btw, I was just above 9mins. Temps were closer to high 30s.

Under 8 mins is quite a feat, be careful. I skipped out on my last two laps on my Ring Card after a quick four wheel drift. I didn't want to push it anymore, The Ring will bite you no doubt.

When you come out let me know, I have to hand my abilitiy to get a 9 minute lap off to two special people, both on this forum
