Anyone done the Nurburgring?
 

Just been invited to go along with some regulars in the spring but never been. I was just wondering if any orgers have been and what your experiences were like?

Just ask TimInBelgium - he's worn his own personal groove in it!

I did it on the xbox, 6 minutes 24 seconds......

well you did ask :P

Re: Anyone done the Nurburgring?
 

which game was that? Car or bike? :D

Re: Anyone done the Nurburgring?
 

That was on Project gotham racing 2 in a Porche GT1, i was well proud.

Although i still think i could do better.......*fires up the xbox*

Re: Anyone done the Nurburgring?
 

yup

twice

the first time i was on an old £700 fireblade, and loved it, the 2nd time i was on my new bike, and i did not enjoy it as much, i think i was a bit scared of comming off? i dont realy know... seeing a brand new blade upside down at the side of the track did not help,

but i think it has to be done, at least once.

twas about £15 a lap

but the roads around the ring were better than the actual track, (IMO)

but as above........ tim practicly lives there

I must say that is fast!
I tried it on tourist trophy when i had the PS2, i kept falling off.

How about 5:52 ?
Sorry - hours & minutes - on foot - @ Elephant Rally - deep snow

Re: Anyone done the Nurburgring?
 

Yup I have done it on my Zed - one thing I would watch out for is fast approaching locals (car and bike) - not that you should ride looking in your mirrors but there are a lot of very quick machines out there who try and get past you any which way.

Go for it though - its an awesome experience!

It's not at all like a track day. But it is an excellent experience if you go with someone who knows the track. There's no chance of learning it.
You do need to ride keeping a eye in your mirrors for faster cars behind you. (You don't need to just worry about the cost of repairs to your bike if you crash you have to pay for the track repairs, closure & recovery costs - so don't crash.
