Nurburgring

[billy83]

My brother and i are off to the Nurburgring in early November.
Going to be hitting the 'ring hard for 2 days straight and was just wondering how people reckon the trophy will deal with this punishment on the car and the brakes especially?
I'm lucky enough to own a CSL but really wanna take the trophy because it's never been on track yet and i reckon the ring in November might be a little hairy for a car like the CSL. Also want to learn the 'ring and in a car like trophy this is easier i reckon because i can exploit more of the car's potential as oppose to reigning in the CSL all the time (i'm not exactly experienced at the ring, only been once!)
Any ideas would be appreciated

the ring isnt that hard on brakes, but i advise taking a second set of pads. and maybe some spare fluid and a bleed kit. maybe worth buying some braided brake hoses before you go and use a super dot 4 fluid like motul RBF or use a dot 5.1 fluid(not dot 5).

the clio should be very good round the track. just take it easy for the first few laps.

I took my 172 around the ring in september, we only done 4 laps and the car was fantastic. We didnt have a problem with the brakes as we found ourselves using engine braking more and only simply dabbing the brakes to get the right weight balance in the corners. We let the car rest for 15min after each lap with the handbrake of just incase. I would reccomend taking a spare set if your planning on doing a full weekends worth of driving. My 172 already uses dot 5.1.
