Another Nurburgring Vid - but shorter

[ukkid35]

Since a quite a few people watched the Ring video I reposted yesterday, here's another that is more recent, shorter and more fun (well for us at least).

The car is on it's last legs, as one of the head gaskets has failed, and I can only do one lap between coolant refills.

The lap was Red Flagged shortly after Brunnchen, that's why it's quite short - It's not like I've become some sort of Ring God...

Impressive driving. I need to get my car off roads and work out it's (and my) limits somewhere I cant hit any trees/lamp posts/people.....!

Not sure I'm ready for a track yet....

Nice work!

Safest place to drive quickly.

Get and instructor on a 1-2-1 basis for your first day you will learn so much for the road as well as track.

Steve H on here is very good.

There's a Track Day at Brands this Friday, apparently.

Wonderful opportunity to hoon around in the Kent countryside

What I'd like to know is how you managed to keep those wipers from lifting and moving all over the place

The wipers are not usually the problem. The biggest issue I had was the bonnet itself, but mainly because I didn't understand how the catches work. When it did all become clear, there was an issue with the strength of the alumininium rod ends, but my dad fixed that for me with this modification, and now it's good for 180 plus.

The main reason to be cautious is the Sound Regs, 100dB is going to be a struggle for many if not most Cerbs, especially if the sound tester knows where the red line is. However it would definitely be worth going for some PAX laps and generally getting acclimatised to the regulations and environment if not familiar with track days.

This is true...i have a spare set of Act T/D cans you can borrow used to bring mine down from 106db down to 100db
