Touristenfahrten Nürburgring September 2014

War nen schöner Sonntag, endlich mal wieder Nordschleife gefahren.
Harry und Cathy habe ich auch getroffen.

Benne, any chance to see a video of your lap? I wonder what level of lateral g's are available with such aerodynamic tools.
Thanks,
Sergey

Video is coming soon

Good to hear! Impatiently waiting))

there you go

Benne,

Nice video, thanks! And I like those lateral peaks over 1.5g)) Some good power you've got there also! What tyres you're on?

P.s .damn traffic

Regards, S.

thanks

Tyres are 235/40/18 Toyo R888 and 265/35/18 Michelin Pilot Cup.

Kann man etwas mehr zum Wagen erfahren? Motor/ Leistung, Fahrwerk?

Motor ist Serie, also SR20DET, kein RB Swap oder sowas.
Bloss Ladedruck leicht optimiert
Fahrwerk ist ein KW Competition 2fach.
Auto ist vollgetankt ohne Fahrer dank Einschweisszelle bei 1400kg.

Danke. Geiles Teil.

Tolle Runde Benne! Bei dem lauten Ablassgeräusch bist du vermutlich froh einen Helm zu tragen ? Hatte leider nicht gross Zeit mit dir zu quatschen (wollte unbedingt fahren), das können wir hoffentlich mal nachholen. Deine Silvia ist ja sehr interessant!

Hier noch ein Schnappschuss von meinem STi

Harry,

Do you have a video of your lap? Would also be very interesting to see taking into account the width of your track and tires!)

Regards,
Sergey

@ Serge, no, unfortunately not. I only have an old video with 255 tires without fender flares. It's difficult to say how much better the performance is now, with 265er tires and lighter wheels (I didn't stop BTG).

Harry

Bin am Sonntag zum letzten mal am Ring. Danch wird er für den Winterschlaf abgemeldet.

Ist sonst noch wer vertreten an der Nos?

I also plan to be there tomorrow.

Serge I've seen you today. But in this moment I haven't realised that this is you.
Sorry

I always stay at the parking with my Trailer. I've only done 3 rounds, because of the often closed track today.

Sorry for my bad english.

Right, I figured out it was you and parked on the opposite side of the road. But I was having a bad time setting up the failed GPS receiver, so that next time I saw you you're already departing to the track. And next time you're just gone))

I was actually going to make a good comparison of michelin cup's with federal rs/r (which I was asking here in the forum) for those who are interested, but... The reciever didn't work the whole day. So no g-forces were recorded. Neither direct lap time comparison, since no clear laps with that amount of traffic. Frustrating...

But the grip seems to be good since I've even got a rear wheel out of alignment (tightened to 150Nm) )) I mean without any heavy impact with the kerb. Luckily some guys helped me with tools to fix it, this time with 200Nm+.

But it was not the worst day after all))

Hey Serg, look at 1:12 and 4:00 (after stupid Mercedes driver)

Sven, yes, yes, such a shame to overshoot the corner so much... But I had to steer already and unload the inner wheel and lock it, while braking with the outer. Tire is still round, luckily

BTW, I can't say the mercedes guy is any special stupid, since I believe almost everybody was meeting this kerb in his life if pushing any hard. At least I did))

What I know for sure is how stupid a mercedes front suspension design is, since every time I'm in service with it I have to change some parts. That's just crazy, really))

Everyone makes mistakes, that's not bad.
Just wanted to show the video, so that you have a moving image of your Subi

From the perspective of the Mercedes driver, you could have reacted a little differently.
That's why I wrote stupid driver

At what time round you have arrived?
