Latest trip to the 'Ring

[elsabor67]

Guys and Gals,

Finally got back to the 'ring and i was not dissapointed as there was many, many cars and peeps to enjoy the best of it. Took the 135 out an got some good laps in and was very happy with the Yokohamas and the H&R Sport setup. Next will be sways(maybe)

Enough talk, on with the pics,

My two friends I went with, Matt (L) sad 'cause he ships back to the states with his '08 M3 (batshitfast!!) and eric(R) who owns my old E30.


Yes, I did that. Paint jobs aren't cheap here and the bugs are hard as rocks.

Do most people use their own cars or do they go the BMW Taxi Ring route? And how much does it cost to ship your car there?

On the shipping the car here, I would have to ask around but I know it's in the 14-1800 range, plus other things you have to do. You can do the BMW Ring taxi but by what I hear it's by reservation and there's a waiting list. 240 Euros for one lap(almost 300 bucks)

You can also rent a track prepped car for a day (anywhere from 700-1400 Euros depending what you rent) and all you have to get is the toll ticket and the gas.

So what was your best lap time?

Very very cool! I want to go there one day soon and drive the track, Thanks for the awesome photos as well.

I failed on that one. I have to look at the video since I forgot to ask one of the guys to take time

The 'Ring is a real challenge; I'd need at least a month's practice before anything close to a decent run would be possible.

[RoadsterMadness]

Great shots! What a terrific time! #13 down is my baby's twin sister black E46 M3 (tho' I doubt she has the muscles my baby does.. ). And I agree with the Shark - tough course - I'm sure it would indeed take practice to get a decent run done. You would also of course really want to know the track, and not test the Brembos or suspension with your life unnecessarily.... It would be totally awesome to go - let alone in your own car!
