Yes yes yes, 2 mango's is win dude :D

haha go for it mate :y:

it's fair to say josh is mental he's a right crazy bastard!!

I video'd a passenger lap but I'm not strong enough to hold my phone in sight Lols theres to many g's moving around and you can't see alot.

that was a 9:21 with traffic and a slide behind a ring taxi I trimmed it on the iPhone.

liking the cheeky overtake near the end ;)

never realised carousel was that much of angle!

yer josh give me dates and info defo in :D

also few inprovements :D

Loved it when you took me out and you said "ill take it a bit easy as its my first lap" LOL

I have to book a passenger seat for an 8:30 next year :D

hahaha, it is pretty mental round there trying to get under 9mins in a saxo mate. Lmao @ the mental crazy bastard comment,

Chasing the ring taxi was great, must have been awesome watching us both get it sideways about a car's length apart lol

Well he over took me near the start so it would be rude not to catch the Porsche up through the tighter sections towards the end and overtake him :D

Good good, thats what i like to hear mate. Shall let you know the rough plans late september time buddy!

I always say that but after the first corner i just cant help myself haha. Your booked in for an 8:30 lap next year mate, loved the ride back in the bergmobile :D

Looks like you know the track well now. Bastard! I should be going this year!

You should easy get a low 8's as standard saxo done it in 8:52 :D

Ha i was thinking, this aint taking it easy surely lol

Sounds good, cant wait!

You kinda forget about all the bangs and rattles in mine when you hit the right pedal lol was good i enjoyed it :)

Haha true, stick at it mate, fix all its weaknesses for next year and rock the ring!!! And yes 150mph and still accelerating was awesome haha

Pfff id love to know how "standard" this was! I might be able to knock 10 seconds off my current time with a clear track but not much more, so no way low 8's with current set up mate.

True dat. Not a lot of time to come off! :D

I keep forgetting. What power is this running?

160-170bhp roughly....

got to love it, lil old mango stickin some of the big boys good time to!

haha damn right, got to be done :D

damn good time was had it seems josh :) think i need to come out with you guys next year! much itb bwapige!!!! very nice time also :D

I plan to get out there next year about July time.
We will have to colaberate Josh so we're there the same time.
I know there will be already 4 cars in out group.

And kev how's it going dude? not spoke on a while.

Been on here a bit lately mate :-) going well tho thanks! Should take a look at my progress thread!

You need a contents page so the busy/lazy people like me can skip to what they want :D

Standard saxo?

Pretty sure this is the one he means -
Completely standard iirc

Heres another video lads


Kev - yeah definitely come with us next year pal :)

Think thats the one though im sure i've seen an 8:52 as well on tube.
Think i should take my 1.4 next year and see if i can do a sub 10 :D

Sub 10 means 82mph or above on average iirc

I thought sub 10 was 60? Or was it 80?
More than happy to give it a go lol R888's in 13's are quite cheap :d

its over 80 for sub 10min...


i think the times you are doing here josh it will be difficult to knock big chunks off but if you had a lot more power you will be much quicker..

its purely a guess but i reckon if all goes well i could be doing it in a lot less than 8:45.. with the new power.

Aslong as your pushing it round the corners similar to me (assuming you are) then id be aiming for 8:30 or lower Danny, I reckon your more than capable of that :)

First straight going under the bridge you will gain 5seconds, long fast part leading up to schwedenkreuz you will gain at least 10seconds, back straight up the hill you will gain at least 10 seconds if not more, theres 25seconds, take that off my 8:55 and theres 8:30 already.... + better acceleration out of every corner will all add up, like up the hill just after Adenau bridge, and also out of Adenau force etc etc. I reckon once you've learnt the power/car with the new engine you will easily be in low 8's mate, not bad for a 106 hey :y::y:

tbh josh i was thinking more along those lines too.. jus didnt want to say it lol

like you say, get used to the car and it will be doing low 8's. i think with a bit of aero, new suspension and a few other things it could break 8mins... theres a few vag powered golf's that have done this so dont see why i couldnt.

hehehee, I know what you mean mate. Id like to see but i reckon with 200bhp NA under 8:30 is possible, so in yours its definitely possible to go under 8:30 lol

i think its poss...
to get to around a 9min lap you dont need that much power, jus good track knowledge an a car that handles.. but to dip below 9 then power is everthing.

ill have a good idea of what mine is capable of soon.. just hope you can make it mate

If i do come then will be as a passenger if anyone has a passenger space available?

I actualy really enjoyed the trip after my car had gone to the garage not having to worry about the car if you know what i mean, just have a laugh like :)

thats a good idea mate, will be good to have you along. im not sure if lea has a passenger yet?

its it stress free as a passenger tbh and you still enjoy the trip just as much.
if you do come then ill make sure you come out for a few in mine.

i do have passenger seat free feels free to jump in mine if you do come in september mate i dont mind.

btw a few photos from the ring trip







theres more somewhere ill find them out later

Thats a really good lap. How many you done now?

I think about 75 laps so far mate....

Cheers for those lea, loving the carbon shots lol

no problem mate :). you thinking about going the ring in september still?

Possibly mate, will be a last min decision depending on money, if you or anyone still has a passenger space, and if I can get the time off work as that's the second week back lol

well as I'm as I know I'm still Jason Durelo'ing it

That carbon looks awesome!!

The boot and roof alone are worth more than most people's cars on here!
