Wow! What can I say, how GOOD is the S2000 round the 'Ring?! I went to the Nordschleife for the first time about three weeks ago and it was spectacular, albeit I was in an E30 M3 rather than my S2K. But I HAVE to go back now with my own car

Oh, you did.
What, S386 AJO?

A famous shake-down prototype, much tested against the Boxster.

It's LHD though ...

I would have thought that any early UK cars might have been RHD JDM imports ...

It's not an early UK car - it was a handmade one!

If you're interested, his bridge-to-gantry time (BTG) was about 8m 20s (with traffic, in a prototype). Which is pretty effing rapid!!
and the rest..

he had the roof down.. which gives plenty of extra drag on the very long straights..

car filled with cameras, recording gear and batteries...

and probably given a reminder it was the only car they had to test..




btw, I suggest you don't go back to the ring, you won't enjoy it...

but you might want to look here..
