I've uploaded 3 videos on my Youtube channel
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC99Vd4 ... slSHMm2-4Q the one 8 min 02 and two others chasing a Porsche GT3 and turbo and a M3 schirmer spec car.
We arrived late Thursday afternoon and due to a bank holiday it was packed! I got a flying lap in late afternoon/evening just as a sighting lap, specifically to see any new tarmac and check out the new Flugplatz.
Here is a shot of one of the groups on the way down through the Nederlands.
Its now pretty fast although I didn't ever quite nail it. I completed 14 laps over the 2 and a bit days mostly in the early mornings and evening when it was least busy (which was a rarity this weekend).
I would say I had around 8 of them relatively quick where the rest were either warm up laps or way too busy.
Thursday and Friday were good days for the Youtubers due to the track being closed pretty regularly. I saw a couple of GT4's creamed in at Eiscurve and an E92 M3 at Stefan Beloff essess.
Saturday was a good day and it seemed that the crashing was at a minimum, although I obviously could of missed all the action. My quick lap was set on the 5th lap of the day after my rear Direzzas had got plenty of heat into them. The car was pretty good maybe I could of softened the rear dampening very slightly for the SB essess due to have two oversteer moments in about 20m at 110mph.
A sub 8 is easily on with my car, in fact, the last corner probably lost me almost all of that 2 seconds. I ran out of time and too many cars so I called it a day and settled for my time. Even if the stopwatch said 8:02 I know that it was probably a 7 min 55 is lap. I know that doesn't count but i'm happy in the knowledge.
After her performance she deserved a rest.
As usual the guys I met were friendly and up for a chat which just makes the place more awesome.
Just a few of my favs I saw about the place.
To the lap, Iike I said earlier I could of gone faster, this was due to me being a bit scruffy in a few corners and a few places I lifted where it wasn't necessary. A few more fast laps would of cured that but with only 14 laps under my belt in the EP3 I'm happy to put in the fastest time and I was still safe, I wasn't pushing 10/10ths (close but not quite) especially on a TF where its so easy to crash into somebody else.
The lap.
