Nurburgring - RX7 Lap Record

[royal]

Hmm just thinking about it myself, maybe that was a bit over the top, don\'t mean to be telling stories. He wasn\'t hanging around anyhow. I\'ll edit it and get my taxi.

edit - There you go, not making a fool of myself now

i know that junction well.  I dont think 150 mph is feasible.

Trouble is, at those kind of speeds and on a bend you haven\'t got much chance of viewing the speedo anyway.

There\'s an interesting post on another forum in relation to lap times putting the M3 CSL at 7:50 - circa Phil G time.  I believe it\'s the Porsche Carrera GT which holds the 7m32s time.

7.50 mins is an amazing time, last I heard the Ferrari Enzo laps the Ring in that sort of time.
I\'m only quoting what I heard on the TV tho.

slightly off topic but do any of the members here go the nurberg much?

Many do Ian, if you look in the events bit or do a search for Nurburgring there\'s plenty of threads from when peeps have been. Dave

i think we should have an MRC Nurburg trip!

When i was there, the MX5 club all had an outing there,  not sure what country they were from but there was about 25 of them!

There\'s a few of us off next Friday (21st) if anyone fancies coming.  Me, Max, Rich and Chris (possibly a few others).  Accomodation was a bit of a push though as it\'s the same weekend as the truck GP, ended up being about 30k away.  Nice drive in the morning to warm the girl up though!

There\'ll no doubt be another trip later this year, weekend of 19th/20th August looks a good one, last full summer weekend opening, next is November after that!!!
