[Snowman]

SAU Nickname - Snowman

Car Make and Model - BMW 135i E87

Circuit Name - Nurburgring - Germany

Lap Time (BTG) - 9.12.3 - Google Earth file of lap here - http://sau.ferni.net/Snowy/20080404-1505-b...ap-1-export.kml

\

Mods - Half cage, Sparco Race Seat and harness, Brembo Brakes and pads and KW Suspension

Tyres - Bridgestone RE050 street tyres.

Power - 306HP

I did one slow sighting lap to see the track and get a feel for the car - which scared the crap out of me.

I then did my 1 hot lap - which really scared the crap out of me.

On my next lap it started PISSING down and then a car infront of me speared off into a wall halfway around the track and with me having a $20K excess over my head I decided it was time to call it a day. (My lap time in the rain was 10.51).

But my god - what a track that place is!

Same here.. I was over there for 2 years and it did not even enter into my head that I should goto the ring.. how f'n stupid of me

[phunky_monkey]

It was that or Le Mans for me, and I chose Le Mans. I don't regret that, but not taking another week off of work and a trip to Germany I do...

Yep - same twin turbo motor out of the 335i. I originally booked that car as I thought it should be fun and light and nimble. When I got there on Friday morning Theo (who runs rent-racecar) told me I had picked the "most difficult to drive" car in his fleet. LOL. I soon found out why. Because it has pretty good power but it as quite a short wheel base so it was EXTREMELY twitchy in the rear - espeically at higher speeds. And there are plently of places you find yourself having to brake and turn from high speeds and boy did I have some moments! Still - no point in not making the most of a potentially one off life experience hey.

BTW - Theo told me I was insane to have run 9.12 on my 1st ever lap around the place. lol

Beat my PB at Winton by 3 seconds today with 35rwkw less than before at 1.41.7-ish

Damn, I know my lines arent the best, and im going in a bit too hot on some of the corners, but I dont think theres more than 2 sec's in it (at my level of skill) unless im doing something really wrong.

Wonder how much time there is in it if I get a proper wheel alignment and some strut braces and sway bars. No matter, I wont be doing anything else to it until get into the 30's. No point spending more money to make up for the lack of driver skill

Whats done to the car? A 1:41 is a prefectly respectable time. Going to HSV/MSCA days there are plenty of good cars in the low 1:4#s

[Yawn]

The car has 280rwkw and Ohlins coilovers and RE55s. I need a wheel alignment, havent done it before, and some sway bars and strut braces might help a bit.

The first time at Winton I did 1.44-ish, which was the time before this. I had 315rwkw at that time with RE55s and GAB coilovers.

Im not that satisfied with the time because of me knowing quite a few drivers in their stock-ish evo's in the 38-39s. And your time too Roy, thats what I call respectable. You've got less power than me but presumably more suspension work?

Good work on setting a PB on that track yesterday - the grip was rubbish!
