My second Nürburgring visit..

Alok · 07-30-2007, 01:48 PM

My second Ring visit. I am so tired after yesterday in the rain, got a lil bit sick.

Forgive the order, photobucket screwed my pic order, I'll post all the pics from my spool.

I got a ride with an instructor for Porsche Sportfahrertraining ;P I just went up to him and asked for a lap, and he said its fine if I get a ticket, so I got one and so we went

He was an absolute expert, sliding the car something between 20-30 times. Dont forget mid engined cars dont powerslide as smooth as normal FR or RR, they bite. Despite this, and me straining my neck muscles badly and veins pumping battery acid and heart pumping adrenaline, we did a superhot lap, all the while him giving me golden porsche insight and career advice. On the home stretch I believe we hit 230 clicks a hour :P

The track was wet as hell, had I been persistent enough, I could possibly have managed a ride in a dutch R8 and a Subby Rex, but hey, that's what next time is for....

....which incidentally happens to be Wednesday, the day after tomorrow

I hope you guys enjoyed the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Pictures are wicked. That Gallardo SE is beautiful.

I love the pictures hanging outside of the 1er. Very, very cool.

Superb photography, Alok.

I made the thread a sticky so it will be up for a while. Love all the shots. Damn I need to get myself one of those SLR/DSLR cameras!!!

I can't wait for tomorrow! Trip to the 'Ring PART II.

Camera is fully charged, only the BMW needs to be filled up again!
