Default Back from track ! Car and driver exhausted. My report

I´m back from a hot day on track and just wrote down my experience to let them last long in my brain. I decided to translate my word so you can take part if you want.
Unfortunatly I was in the drivers seat all day long and had no chance to take pics but sometimes a report/story can mean more than pics.

very nice.

DS3000's and removal of the rotor backing plate will help your brake issues.

Wish I could drive my car on the nurburgring!

Good write up. It's nice to see someone really being able to compare their car with those german power houses on the track. Many people can say this or that about handling and track performance, but you actually got to see and do it first hand.

Good write-up Sounded like alot of fun, and impressive driving

How much does a driving school like this cost? It must be quite expensive?

Default Re: Back from track ! Car and driver exhausted. My report (genuine)

Just to clear up first:

The Nürburgring area contains two different tracks. The Northloop (Nordschleife), this legendary 20km long road where tourist wreck their car every weekend and the Grand Prix track, where the F1 races happen. This now was the first time I had the chance to hit the surface of the Grand-Prix track.

Total cost:
Event: 356 Euros
Gas for way to and back: 85 euros
Gas blown through on track: 45 Euros
Oil: 7 Euros

And now I need to mount a new set of brake pads..
