by its very definition is not braking "hard" in the corner :p

But... I fully support the sentiment of the rear brake upgrade! :P :whistle::geek: and trail braking! :P

Did anyone have to email ADAC their details for them to email them back? Managed to get through first time, they called me back and I jotted the address down. Sent email but it was returned from ADAC saying mail recipient unknown. This was the address I copied down, guessing I've got something wrong..... Adac/regensburg@sby.adac.de

Can anyone help as I'm rapidly losing patience trying to get hold of them again.

Thank you :-)

I did mine over the phone,

Telephone enquiries and to join and pay my debit/credit card phone offices Tel No. 00 49 94 15 23 44 and speak to

Ms Amanda Moser-Wickles, or Ms. Barbara Lorenz.

It is a bank holiday in Germany also, this might affect things.

It might be better on Tuesday??

Cheers mate, I'll give that a go. Did email Miss Moser-Wickles but had no reply. I'll try again Tuesday and hope for success :-)

Try on Monday as Germany have their early May bank holiday on the 1st May so it was last Thursday. Most people book the Friday off as holiday though to get a nice long weekend (i speak to Germans daily as part of my job ;))

Steve_PPP 03-05-2014 05:57 PM

Also, no idea whats going on at the Ring today but apparently its been closed a lot - they had a problem with their emergency phone number working so couldn't let people out.

Also just seen this picture on facebook (from Bridge to Gantry) - insane queues to get off!! :o Not good sitting in a queue like that with hot engines, brakes etc and not able to cool down!

Sounds good apart from the 24km bit.
Having done 14km around bedgebury pinetum several times I think 24km of similar terrain would be a major struggle.

Bike hire is cheap enough though so would consider a less formal ride out.

Steve_PPP 08-05-2014 08:19 AM

I'm interested, used to do a lot of MTB trails etc but i've barely ridden in the last 5 years so not sure the legs would cope with 24km either!

Sounds fun though!

Red Baron 08-05-2014 09:06 AM

Sounds like hell, I'm here for a break, not a work out, I'll wait for you all in a bar somewhere :)

thepieman 08-05-2014 09:53 AM

Can I bring my own bike?


Don't think it would be fare on the drivers though:nono: as steves passenger this year, I know I would feel bad having him peddle me round:sadnod:

Steve_PPP 08-05-2014 10:54 AM

:lol:

You reckon we'd get the bike in the scoob with all of the other gear that'll be in it? :ninja:

There's got to be space for the return journey for beer supplies too ;)

Could well be up for that... Would love to take my bike but not sure the rack on the back would help the fuel economy on a 600 mile round trip!! ;)

Ginola 08-05-2014 11:42 PM

Pass!

Golf too small for extra set of wheels, what with a boot that has shrunk because of 4wd, a rear brace and chunky seats that take up most of the interior.

Feels slow after the Scoob as well now, even with 290bhp. Guess my cams will have to be changed soon, possibly evena turbo conversion.

They're completely fine in damp conditions unless there's a lot of standing water. Then they're not..

555_Si 11-05-2014 09:16 AM

Cheers Greg, I think I have a rain cloud over me when I mention track though.

Also has a nice active support forum.

Steve_PPP 16-05-2014 02:01 PM

Bah, GP version not available for Android yet. Might get the middle version as I want the video overlays :)

I assume its accurate on the overlays? Looking at here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ys.laptimerpro

https://lh4.ggpht.com/inE_iDcyK9yMKH...jsMzVg=h310-rw

The vid screenshot says Schwedenkreuz when the car is at Breidscheid - only about 4 miles out!

my BT data is a little slow but GPS is relatively accurate.. you can plug an external GPS device in via Blutooth/Wifi etc. I think that has 1HZ refresh rate.

Examples on my Youtube channel.. for acuracy of corners etc, (look at SPA) you can of course scew the overlay manually as well.

gutted, I got the Ram mount, got the full version of Harrys lap timer, only to discover the Bluetooth dongle my mate gave me doesn't work with iPhone. cant afford a new one at the moment, Golf has cost me $$$$ to get ready.

It will still do some nice overlays, just missing a bit of engine data, the ram mount is ace!.. I might try an external mic this time..
