Nurburgring rumor

[doctorpepper]

I heard from a fairly reliable source that the britcar series would be competing on the "long" nurburgring circuit (a la VLN ) next year...

...any truth in this is or is it a load of old twoddle?

[p490kvp]

Not heard anything - although if it does then you would imagine it would have to be within the VLN series. Otherwise 30 cars lapping the 'RIng could be a bit thin!

However personally I hope they hold every round on the 'Ring!

Hopefully I will get a better result than this...

At least you didn't throw it into the trees, walk back to the pits, then spend a week looking for the place where you lost it.

I remember Bill Blydenstein telling me the very tale of a chap who did exactly that back in the days when he uses to be the "Crazy English Dutch Norwegian who races strange looking Opels" (according to the Germans at the Nurburgring.

No he made up some crazy story about the front bumper getting sucked under the front wheels - I mean surely any driver hearing strange noises at the front wouldn't attempt the foxhole flat out...would he??!!!

For a brief moment he enjoyed the moment as a fully fledged racing driver... Now facing driving coaching from some Scottish track day bloke!!!

I'll give you £50 for the wheels!

[phatgixer]

Look at all my friends!

You lot, you'll get yours...

[p490kvp]

Where you been mate??

[phatgixer]

Moved house, nearly killed myself in a runnaway winnebago and bought another M3 racer!

[taffyracer]

Does that mean your wheels are for sale?!

Definatly the 'Ring is not on the calendar at the moment although I would be very please if it was. I will let you kow if when I hear any other news.....
