Hi,
im interested to know if anyone has timed their laps around the ring.i went last year and after 4 laps managed a 10.15 sec lap.Cant wait to go again this year.anyone recommend any hotels as we drove there and back on the same day.

9.59.2 - no kidding (I have a witness eh MissyC??? ) After 7 laps but weather was wet. Will be back again this year (hopefully in the dry) to smash that time

As for hotels - there are loads - check out www.nurburging.org for loads of useful info

 

I got 6min 57 sec!!!! On Gran Turismo in an SLR. Sorry couldn't resist

 

www.northloop.co.uk is the site/forum to go to.

 

m going there this year With my brother (shippy) Going to take it easy as i will want to get the scoob back in one peace.But ill also want to beat the time he gets As for hotels sod that were camping

 

8.05

 

Best bit of advice I can give is to play GT4 with steering wheel in a similar car to yours. Play it till you know your way around and you'll be amazed how quickly you get to grips with the real thing

 

i'm going in may/june time! i have been told not to time my laps......

i might time them... but not going to push it to hard.

 

was a passenger in a 500bhp supra that did a 8.20

 

Hoping to go in May for my 3rd visit

Ps last year stopped in the Village at the only Hotel thats shown on GT4

 

I don't think timing is a bad thing to do, but chasing times certainly is.

8.47 Clio Cup

8.19 944 Turbo

 

8.52 - 130bhp 205gti

 

Id have to agree; I understand that a very high percentage of recovered cars have a running stopwatch.....

I was probably lapping at around 11 mins plus when I went...

In my defence I did spin 360 on my first lap so the remainder was spent in pslewis mode getting my confidence back...

 

im thinking of going in august do you have to wear a helmet in the car?

 

Nope, you dont need a helmet, you dont need long sleeves, infact you could probably drive it naked if you wanted too. I wouldnt recommend driving in anything other than proper gear myself though.

Did a 10:10 on the 10th lap (standard bugeye WRX). It was just after it had stopped raining so there were very few cars and it was quite dry.

Thanks for the replies.im going back jst as soon as the snow stops!!
Looking at the other times posted on here looks like mine wasnt so bad,but plenty of room for improvement tho.Couldnt believe the variety of vehicles going round tho,buses,vans and the bikers are nutters!!!

 

Averaged low 9s in my turbocharged Clio with a welded up exhaust to keep the noise down. Then it overheated after 3 laps without a break.

 

The moral of the stroy is dont try to do 40 flat out miles in a row

 

looked at your vid with the sti,i only saw one other car you passed.when did you go to get it that clear?Great viewing tho.ill have to buy a ps2 game that includes the ring to get some practice!!!lol.

 

From memory it would have been a midweek evening.

 

I passengered Mrk for a wet lap in his sorted EVO VIII and he did 8.48 - now that was bloody scarey in the wet

 

i feel aweeks holiday in germany coming on.Early spring i think!!!

 

Nice one Terry

 

I hope missyC had her helmet on .......

 

She did mate (you can just see it in her hands). You can tell with the look on my face that I was quite chuffed with that time
