I'm Off To The Nurburgring Tomorrow

[writeoff]

Just thought I'd be a prick and share my joy about going to Germany tomorrow. I am picking up a 2006 Porsche 911 from Stuttgart and travelling the 350km to the Nurbugring where I have four days to watch a Porsche GTP event and do some laps. After that I head to Frankfurt to join a Football Federation of Australia (FFA) tour of the World Cup. I can't f***ing wait!!!

[Mr Italy!]

for those that may not have seen it, this site has vids and pics of cars on the ring…

http://www.8200rpm.com

I came across it on the liberty RS forums when one of the guys there posted his lap on the ring in his liberty wagon.

The RS I refer to is this one..

He has been on this track many times.

That particular video is this one..

right click save as (hope it still works)

If you download it (100mb) you will hear a whole heap of squeeling (potenza s03 street tyres.)

He has mentioned that on the straight he get to just over 240km/h as it is uphill.

Car mods are cage, 2.5 inch turbo back with no cat, above mentioned tyres, lowered springs and a rechipped ecu.. oh and decent pads and fluid. Everything else is stock.

Hope you got lots a downloading space..
