Payment done !!

Are you guys all gonna change tires i.e slicks at Spa??? I don't think I would be able to fit in an extra set of tires in my car though réfléchir

Who is Daniel??

Greg usually a 2 sets of (4) tyres in his car ... and one help to change them sourit

I will use my normal road RE050 ... unless I find something else !!
But since I am driving to the Ring on Sunday ... that would be a lot of weight and space ... and work !

Outjer, normally bring one set of slick with him.

PS ... il faisait idem sur le Ring avec l'EVO IX .... clap clap

:heeuuu:

Thats Daniel ... no comments ... chief instructor ... > 15.000 laps of the Nordschleiffe ... and much more ... sourit

He should be presenting the 20 minutes briefing !!!!! a all the years before.

PS: look at "About this video" ... the owner comments sourit

:cool:

Also ... if you got nothing on Sunday ... you can drop at the Nürburgring ... and have a lap in the new EVO X ... driven by Daniel danser

!!!!!! I hope he's got a yearly subscription for the Ring ...with the current lap price choquer

I will definitely try to make it also for Sunday - it would be great to get some coaching from Daniel.

If you plan to go to the Ring some time during March, Baphi, pls let me know as my family will be going to Japan for three weeks - which will allow me some flexibility cool

btw, does it always rain at Spa triste

He doesn't need a subscription, he is paid to drive around the ring to test cars or car components clin d'oeil

Nice job hey.

btw, does it always rain at Spa triste

Nope, only when we have a track day there but it makes it that much more fun

The RX-7 is not that reliable in the wet - or maybe it's the driver sourit

last time at Spa I managed to do 2x360s - in the same bend and at the same time cool

Lets put it this way ... he only drive the Nordschleiffe during 'tourist days' with the MLR ...
and he doesn't need a any subscription as he drive with the Car Industry pool ... sourit

and he doesn't drive his own car ... and most of the time these cars are not yet officially on the road ...
I saw one of his private video on the Ring from 2003 ... when the RX-8 was being tested by Mazda Corp before production ... and he was driving it !
and he still loves it ! clin d'oeil

;)
For Sunday you will be able to be a passenger in the EVO X ... I hope there is not to much people coming !
and also follow the EVO X has Daniel will show the correct lines ... if traffic permits !
... and if the EVO X supports very long Daniel ... nice .... driving ...
Last year EVO IX 360 MR; max 4-6 laps ... then refuelled ... and cool down a bit ... poor brakes !

You will have peek at the visit cards he has ... choquer

There will be a few other driver instructor at Francorchamps ... also very good ones !
I had this one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXtreJMzSr0
... he was not driving ... he was passenger ... the student made a mistake.
He was still injured when he refreshed me about Francorchamps during MLR 2007 ...

The first time I did the MLR at Francorchamps the rain was nearly flooding the old F1 garage ...
You go more slowly ... and you learn more ... you better have good / fresh tires !
Last year rain and then nearly dry .... perfect !

For March, I am not sure that I will go ... but I might have I few friends in Lotus going ... I will keep you informed !

Yep !!!!

La journée est temporairement complète, nous aurons peut-être encore quelques places vers la mi mars si quelques unes nous reviennent d'un groupe qui doit finaliser ses réservations.

Si vous désirez participer, nous opérons une liste d'attente.
