Nige & Worzel Part 1

Here is part 1 of the video of Nige and myself creeping round the Nurburgring last year in the pissing rain on 888's.

I have had to do this as 2 parts, as the whole file was 1.3gb and YouTube was having a hissy fit trying to down load it all.

As I type, it still has about 20mins of Processing time, so will be fully ready to laugh at from about 5.10pm.

The things to look out for are:

1.57 - When Nige nearly stacked at low speed. Thats when we both thought, nope, not a good idea and kept it slow all the way round.

5.43 - As it goes round the left hander, watch on the let hand side for the new crash barrier and the mud on the track. That was where the crash that closed the track all afternoon on the Saturday was.

Guess who didn't read the whole text first!

It's still processing at You Tube mate, will be about another 20mins!

read the title an thought ooow,didnt even read the 1st line

Ready now though

If you have fast enough broadband, or you pause it and leave for a couple of minutes to download a bit in front of viewing. Watch in HD @ 1080. You will see how pukka that little camera is

This year it will be doing some much quicker laps and anchored in a nice secret place

It's really slow i can feel myself going red!

Mate, when you watch yourself close to falling off the track so slowly, you realise just how slippy it was on those tyres.

Plus, it's only a grin at the end of the day. We both know the score in good conditions.

If I can keep up with you, I will try to follow you on a flying lap this year

Great vid .............but wheres the blue dotted line ,like in GT5??????

[ralliart didz]

nice 1 guys,but window wipers was sending me a sleep

nige you should have nudged them 2 white vw not let them by

[tbtstt]

Ah, so thats what the back of an Evo looks like. I've never been behind one long enough to notice before.

Joking aside I've got all weather tyres and I'd be crawling round the 'Ring whether it was wet or dry! Good video Worzel!

[Anger]

After my near off last year with all round tyres... I'd say you made the right decission on the speed

[Guy B]

God vid mate, looks like there was allot of standing water

[Hongkongfooi]

I wished I'd gone out behind you....only chance I would have had to go past you on my wet tyres!

Me too - with normal tyres we were the quickest cars out there on the Sunday morning

Steve - when do we get to see part 2?

[RobEvo5]

Nice Sunday drive vid

[Scooby_Greg]

Now that was wet! ...and also scary. Definitely not the conditions for testing the limits

Oh No! iam very sorry its not my fault honest worzel made me do it I promise not to show the Evo up like this again! Now im really red

[scoobyslayer]

Joking aside its mighty slippy out there in the wet, especially the stripy bits.

I'm trying some new tyres out this year Kumo's. I will give them a good try out here first as they have a good rep & half the price of 888's & meant to be better at moving water. Just hope there as good in the dry. Have you tried them yet Neil ? Ps took your advice on the brake padds. Yes they do work REALLY well thank's.

I have used them in the past and they were pretty good but tyre tech has moved on since then so cant really compare with current.

I will be at Oulton park on March 5th if your not doing anything you can see what 600BHP through the rear wheels feels like.

My fault? How do you work that out?

My words to you as I remember were, I'll follow you round, seeing as it my first time round here, If I don't keep up don't wait for me!

I must admit Nige......... you were holding me back quite a bit, but I thought I had better play ball!
