Calm Chris Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Does anyone who has done the ring care to post the time and the car used? It would be interesting to compare some of these times with TSN member's attempts. Come on, someone must tell all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentandy Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Some of those times were done a long time ago! Assume from the date the Golf GTI was done that it was the Mk4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyDub Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Yep. I dont know if they's done and "official" time in the Mk5 GTI yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, someone must tell all [/ QUOTE ] During the 2002 (can't find any more recent results) 24h Rennen Nurburgring race which is the GP circuit + Nordschleife = 25947 metres Lady T's dad managed a 10:38.033 (E36 Group N M3) - not sure if this was day or night !

Calm Chris Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 No wonder you like Mrs T, not only will she allow a Porker, but her dad will recount hours of driving over a dinner. That's really well sorted. I would have thought any sub 12 minute laps would count as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] oh yes, plenty of driving tales - he's still bang on the pace driving with David Leslie in this years Britcars - not bad for someone in his early fifties - just can't see him playing golf for some reason ! I reckon the combined GP circuit and nordschleife would have taken me about half an hour in the dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I've got a video of me doing a 9'28 (bridge to gantry) in my TT in the wet....although later that weekend I said guten tag to the armco! I can't believe my S4 is only 13 seconds quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TT Coupe in that race had a best lap of 10:52.446 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 The extra distance is ....... far enough to make my time look silly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gren Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Anyone know what the asterisk (aktual.... something or other) is against the TT? Is this an estimate or something? Sounds like actual but surely the rest can't be estimates. PS I know that TTs are fantasticly fast but surely an Exige is faster round the ring?

Gren Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Sorry, its 'updated' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Yeah it is. You're looking at the '00 model but the '04 is 10 seconds quicker. The difference will be that through the twisty sections the Lotus would take time out of the TT and on the long fast sections I'd expect it to be the other way around.

Gren Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Yep, knew it was the older model but still for a fairly twisty track (okay with some straights) that's a fairly surprising figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0to60 Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I'm impressed with the 350Zs time on there, similar to more pricey cars! Now when can i get some time off to go??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
