Hey Guys,

For you guys that flaked, you missed another great trip to Nurburgring. Wow, what an great experience. I cobbled a few pics i took, along with others who went along with me for the ride. First, the 'Ring is very addicting. You want to go faster and try to meet the limits of the car (which my sorry ass couldn't do). 2nd, I am now officially in love with the Porsche GT3 RS. They are loud and fast and they absolutely killed everyone on the ring. 3rd, I suck at driving and have lots to learn but had a blast driving. 4th, the Evo X is awesome on the track....I won't believe the hype the naysayers are saying about its handling. more to come on this. Anyways, enjoy the pics:

At a rest stop on our way to the Ring





I saw some badass cars parked outside
Richard Burns Limited Subaru STi



Evo 7

R33

Another one R33 (600 BHP). What the hell is June Hoon? Hoon is British slang for driving irresponsibly..anyways these Brits were really cool to hang out with.

R32

Classic Cobra

Anthony's '03 Cobra Droptop

Genuine M3 CSL

GT3 and M5

R8

Lambo

Silvia

Caterham

Elise



Badass Porsches


Nice GT3 RS

My car

Le mans GT40



Nice stickers


Bunch of E30 M3s









Here I am entering the Ring on left lane, anthony is taking the right lane. You place a card at the tollgate, gate goes up and off you go.


Action shots (courtesy Yan):










Yes, it's a tourist bus:


Last but not least, I met Steve, an owner of a Evo X SSt FQ300. I was admiring his Black Evo X and asked him how the Evo X handled. He said after owning 2 350Zs, he was hooked. He then asked me, "Care for a passenger lap?". Fuuuuuuck ya!

Okay, first some interior shots (RHD babee)


OMFG, it has the Ring on the Nav System (sex sex sex):


Exterior shots:



Here is Steve pointing out the lines on the Ring, even showing the area where Nicki Lauda crashed and nearly died in F1:


Guess who rode shotgun?


Moi


The Evo x handled very well and I was surprised and how good it handled the track. The advans gripped very well and the paddle shifter was very easy to use (per Steve).

Steve has over 100+ laps under his belt and he tore up the track, keeping pace with a very good driver in a 911 Turbo. He is a season pass holder (costs 1000 euros or about $1500 bucks). His lines on the track are amazing and he can outdrive me any day or night (I have a stage 1+ with KW V3s)...plus I suck at driving anyways.

Thanks Steve!


I hope you enjoyed the pics!

Actually got ithe info from wiki:

RB320 (2007)

Subaru Impreza RB320


Echoing the RB5, a limited edition of 320 2007MY cars in Obsidian Black Pearl were released "in memory of Richard Burns", an ex-Subaru World Rally driver who had died in 2005 due to a brain tumor. The car produces 320 PS (316 hp/235 kW) of horsepower and 450 N·m (332 ft·lbf) of torque due to tuning by Prodrive. The suspension has been upgraded with Eibach springs, an Eibach rear stabilizer bar and Bilstein struts. It rides on 18" anthracite alloys. A £1500 option on the car was to have the interior changed to a black leather/alcantara with RB320 stitching on the seat and a new shift knob. The car has silver mesh grilles. The price is £29,995 (around $60,500 USD) on the road. [2]

Thanks for the pictures. It was a nice trip.

My camera was dead, so no pictures from me.

I did have a minor off course though on my 5th lap.

I researched this car and it falls into the "all show no go" catagory. looks good... but not for the extra coin that you pay for it.
