My sub 10 minute lap of the Nurburgring

Haha. Not sure whether you're complimenting me or dissing Darren.

Either way, good man!

 

What's your average speed there Darren?

 

Well it's 13 miles. To do that in 10 minutes you need to be doing 78mph average.

For 9:38 it's 80.7mph.

For 9 minutes it's 86.7mph

For 8 minutes it's 97.5mph

 

Thanks Darren :clap:

 

140 eros for 8 laps I still got 2 laps to do lol it pissed it down on the sunday :rant:

 

Ha ha Alex that would have taken me an hour to work that out :lol: well done lol :clap:

 

:thumbsup: fucking awesome mate. where did you stay?

that place is deffo on my to do list, how much did it cost altogether roughly for the weekend? including petrol there and back and stuff?

 

My mate took his car and I think it is 40 Euros a lap ? not sure. Ended up staying at a B&B right by the entrance gates.

 

Ok here we go:-
Ferry from Hull to Rotterdam overnight with a room based on 4 sharing is 105 each return.
Hotel/appartment Bed & Breakfast 45 Euros per night per person.

Hull is 120 miles from Warrington straight accross the M62 dead easy, thats one tank of fuel.
Rotterdam to the Ring is 220 miles so thats two tanks of fuel.
4 Laps of the ring is 75 Euros, 8 laps is 140 Euros etc etc.

All in I spent about 650 inc food & beer, its cheap as fuck there and fuel is 1.12 euros a litre so its slightly cheaper than here.

I am organising another trip for July next year depending on the Calender.

 

hahahahahahaha lus:

 

nice one Daz
if you go again you should stay at a place i did
you can walk to the ring and andy carlile works there
He took us round for a few laps for the price of his fuel (5 euro each)

He go's in front and basically you have to try to overtake him
and he waves you faster or slow down-we managed a 9.40 something
(after 2 laps)
I wouldnt go back and do it again on a bike-although i loved it the dangers are incredibly high

 

Chris they are high but no worse than a track day

 

as if !
Trackdays generally have a decent runoff with gravel/grass/bales etc
the ring has armco all the way round it apart from one runoff area-not to mention cage drivers in the way !
as well as the humoungus charge the ring levy on you if you bin it !
It is bloody awesome though !!!
