Default Another Nurburgring trip...

72 laps in 6 weeks and counting

Just got back from a 5 day trip. I jumped in with some mates and we set off for Germany. Nice leisurely drive there and we arrived at the house I shared with my mate while I worked at the track.

Eventful trip as, if you've read my post in the Nurburgring Insurance thread, you'll be aware a guy I know had a big accident and his passenger is still in hospital.

Left to right: Dave's 182 track whore, Si's Litchfield T25 and my STi PPP.

The rain came so time for a change of tyres:

Destroyed my brake pads on the Grand Prix circuit so on go the Performance Friction 01 pads:

A couple of the funniest laps I've driven. People were laughing at the viewing areas at me and Dan in helmets in the slowest car I've ever driven on track
