I should have completed this a while ago, I blame the kids…… This years Ring trip was set to be different from the other I had done before. Previously I have always driven my own car or a friend’s, but seeing as my friend (Al) that I usually go with was already on Euro driving… Read More Nurburgring Sept 2016
On the 28th of Sept my friend (Al) and I started our journey to the Nurburgring as we have done many times before, we had opted for a different tact this year, instead of choosing a long weekend with 4 days available for public days we went on one of the Destination Nurburgring track days… Read More Nurburgring 2015 #DN13
Audi’s domination of endurance events continues, the brand new shape R8 LMS winning a closely contested race (40secs in the end). I was routing for anything other than an Audi victory but you cannot deny their cars ability and “their” teams professionalism. As with recent N24s the competition was fierce, just 2 laps covered the… Read More Reflections on the N24
This lap has been all over Twitter in the recent week, it is one of the most committed I have seen for a while, huge speeds all over the circuit including over 200mph on the Dottinger Hohe. Fantastic lap, enjoy.
As usual here are a couple of bits from the last couple of weeks, I managed to get a new C-Class rental, granted it was a C200 petrol and it was manual but I drove like a dream compared with the Insignia (still a reasonable car) I had a couple of days before. I am… Read More The World On 4 Wheels

The first video if from the Moskowskaya Manthey 911 GT3R and is the penultimate lap, the second is from the Rowe Motorsports Mercedes SLS GT3 and is the final lap. Despite… Read More 2012 VLN Battle for the Win
I know I have harped on plenty of times about this car in the past but here are a couple of bits I found recently, firstly Hans Stuck talking one round the Nordschleife, secondly Stefan Bellof racing one at Spa and thirdly Derek Bell on the Nordschleife in 2013 in honour of Bellof (perfect tribute… Read More Porsche 956 again…
The Dorr Motorsport McLaren MP4-12C GT3 and Kevin Estre setting the lap record with an 8:10 round the 24hr Nurburgring circuit in qualifying this year. Quite a lap to say the least!
Superb racing from the Nordschleife earlier this year, it is worth watching both laps as both feature high stakes overtakes from Martin Ragginger.
Marco Seefried doing a 7:22 on the Nordschleife, he was at 280kph under the bridge which is a bit naughty for a BTG, but it takes nothing away from the lap (pity about the sound quality of the video).
