If you are still TMIC be very careful on long high speed runs as the inlet temps go through the roof as the scoop becomes ineffective above about 80!

V-Power is readily available but iirc the Belgium fuel is not as good as French or German. The best Fuel is in Adenau!

Experience speaks!

Im On sti Tmic so.. 80mph it is for me :)

Ok so octane booster is really for the belgium fuel.

Its only needed if you get caught short to be honest worth having just in case, I've always got some in the car even over here just in case!

As Performance keep it in stock I use the NF.

Red Baron 05-04-2016 02:21 PM

Scott and I sat on the Autobahns between 80-100 most of the way, we knew we weren't far behind those running front mounts when we found bits of Charlies Splitter, Wheel arch liner and and STI mudflap in our lane.

Red Baron 05-04-2016 02:22 PM

Oh, and the Shell in Cochem had V Power Racing which I believe is 100+RON

Steve_PPP 05-04-2016 02:39 PM

Aral petrol station in Adenau sells 102 ron and is good stuff.
Shell in Cochem sells VPowerRacing (100 ron) as Shane says.

I'd take a single bottle of NF as i think you only use half per tank, only needed in Belgium if you're mapped for 99 ron fuel as the VPower there is only 98. If you're still on a standard map you won't need any octane booster.

On the autobahns we tend to cruise at 80ish with the occasional blat slightly above that ;)

Rdlangy1 05-04-2016 03:07 PM

Sorry which Octane Booster are we on about? NF?

Updated SES 2016 Trip to Nurburgring - 3/6/16 to 7/6/16
 
The Aral petrol station just by Sabines team base (a little way past the petrol station with ring shop and web cam, near the entrance) is 3cents or even 5cents a litre cheaper than the one in Adanau for 102 ;)

I normally take 1 or 2 bottles of NF Formula, other octane boosters are generally very very sub par in comparison.

I don't think the Belgium brew is as high as 98.

It's labelled as 98 but the quality seems to be questionable
