The ring

[SAFC99]

Has any one had there zed round the knuurburg ring, if so what lap times did they get?

350doc from the OC has a mate who does it in 8mins 45secs

reckons it's probably capable of doing an 8min 20sec time with a decent driver

 

I can do it on the PLaystation pretty quick

dont time it, go for drifts round the bends in the wet - that's the most fun!

Anywhere near to 9 minutes is a good effort - so much depends on traffic though. Always good to put the wind up a lot of far less committed M3's!

I take it you mean the Nordschleife / Nurburgring.

 

I've done a dozen or so laps in a week-end, all in the wet / damp.

 

If you go, don't time yourself, and then try to improve it.

 

You will end up with a large bill for armco repairs.

 

Go and enjoy it for what it is, you will be faster than some and slower than lots.

 

I was a passenger in a highley tuned RS4 on one lap, and my pilot was "outdriven" by a VW Sharran diesel.

 

Drivers skill and local knowledge make the real difference round that place.

 

If you go, have fun and forget the stopwatch.

I was there mid April. It was very wet so took it easy.

 

I reckon around 9 mins BTG should be fair in the dry, but in the wet ........

as has already been said, try not to get hung up on laptimes. Its all about enjoying yourself.

 

Obviously people do time themselves, I just set the GPS going and put it in the glovebox, then look at the end of the day. I find I put less pressure on myself that way.

 

for info, my Golf MK2 with 170HP has done an 8:46, so the Z should be in the low 8`s with a driver who knows the ring AND the car.
