Default Nurburgring Easter 2003

Hi guys

I'll be bringing my beastie over to the Nurburgring for the whole Easter weekend this year. Is anyone from the UK interested in going? I'll be accompanied by a TVR Griffith, TVR Chimaera and probably a BMW M3 for some fun....

Cheers

Ben

Excellent

I know there should be some people from the Ringers group going along, but always good to meet fellow S2Kers.

Thanks

Ben

As an aside, I recently saw a webpage that gave lap times around the Ring in various cars.

They timed an S2K at 9mins 58 secs IIRC, which is interesting as I've lapped it in my (then) two day old S2K in 9mins 40secs.

Hehehe

I'm thinking it can be lapped in a Honda in the low 9 minutes - anyone wanna take up that challenge???

I'm going in my TVR Griffith, with a Chimeara, an M3 and some nutter in an S2000!

Give me the keys Ben, and I'll get it under 9 minutes for you...

ah - now I never said that a brit bruiser is the epitome of handling, did I? I merely implied that it handled differently.

don't go starting a war in here, griffboy

Dubya's forces have got nothing on this lot once they get started
