Chatting to one of the instructors that had been involved with the GTR Launch said they are a great car, quick but heavy and will only last a couple of laps of the Nürburgring track then need to have parts replaced :blink:

Like what? Engine and tranny fluids? lol

Ask Tony Quinn what he had to replace on his R35 GT-R after winning Targa (which was over 500km's in competative length on roads a lot more agressive on the car than what the Nurburgring is - I have done both so I know!)

Awesome!

Looks like the R35 GTR is a regular at the N-Ring, hence the N-Ring sticker on the rear.

Im sure you can buy them on line but there is s Nurburring Fan shop in Adenau and another one a little furher down the road close to the track at the cafe/ hang out Fan Shop. I bought some for about 6 Euros per sticker. If you are cool you will have one on your car..... :)

A Pretender How so? I was at Nurburgring I did the Porsche hot laps, with the Ron from RSR. I did the BMW M5 Hot laps saw the two way cool Black R35's and took the pics for you and I do love them and all did was to report on what I heard from Dale Lomas from RSR The guy that did the laps at the Ring for the launch! Nothing more nothing less! :)
