My Very long Nurburgring trackday report from last week.

I have a great relationship with the guys at BHP (as do most of their customers) and it's through their association with my events, as well as Bilstein and Casio Edifice that enable us to provide all the Frozenspeed pictures to my customers for free!
Understood. Thanks for the clarification.Through previous searches BHP come up as a disti/reseller for Nitron, based on your feedback I will most likely give them a shout when we get to the suspension on our car.
Nice photos by the way.
Humour

Once I`d done I was walking back to the Golf and Tom said "Nige, those French people filming the SEAT`s were having a good nosey round the Golf..."
They asked if they could video the Golf. `Yeah, sure !` so the cameraman set about getting some external footage. Then the presenter asked if I wouldn`t mind talking on Camera. Er, yeah, ok.... He asked about the Golf, how long I`d been going to the ring, why I went to the ring and that sort of thing. All the while the cameraman felt to be about 12" away from the side of my face.
Now I`m sure I`m not the only person here who doesn`t like hearing a recording of their own voice. Neither do I like seeing myself on film. IF this ever ends up further than the cutting room floor, I suspect I`ll watch the interview cringing the entire time and watching from behind the sofa....

The Seat on the Nurburgring clip is from 83:50 and the Golf makes the briefest of appearances at 85:45.
Some good news and even better news. !
The good news ? They did include around 3 seconds of the Golf. This is the presenter pointing to it
A few short screengrabs from the footage
But the even better news ? They didn`t include my interview !
That`s good for me because I won`t be embarassed watching and listening to myself on TV and good for you because you won`t have to watch and listen to me on TV 
I was going to add this to the DN 2016 thread, but it felt like tagging it onto this one was more appropriate.

Blimey Nige: 7.45 !!!????
No wonder you were giving me such a hard time.
I will bring tape to mask my plate next time.
Tom
That was on Cups, it was a fair bit quicker on slicks... No wonder you were giving me such a hard time.

Tom
Make sure you do
It was a fun lap and I`d have liked to post it, you can hear your engine howling over the sound of mine for most of the lap . I was mostly giving you a hard time under braking as we discussed just after the day, you braked more than I expected a few times
You doing any DN`s this year ? I`ll be there for DN14 in April and DN16 in September

I was quick to book a ticket covering all 2016 DN days, but now that he dates have been posted I find I cannot do most (so I wil have some tix to sell at a good price...). I will definitely do 22nd July. See you there....Make sure you do

Slicks is cheating BTW

Awesome writeup and a pretty damn impressive car, with an even more impressive lap time. Top work sir.

Thanks Andy. Awesome writeup and a pretty damn impressive car, with an even more impressive lap time. Top work sir.
I had to go and look to see if I had been too negative with my comments when you said that
Fortunately they were constructive
