Gon fix it with me hammer

scratch one off my bucket list
Went to the Ring and gave my Cayman a Workout (and it took the workout like a champ)
First 2 laps were wet, first one untimed and slow , just getting around 2nd was 12 minutes 3rd lap was dry, 10m15 last was 9m36 There is more, but i also had all my camping gear on board cooler with beer and drinks.. And well, first time, i think it's better to let it sink in a bit and go back another day instead of over cooking it on the first visit.

I would love to do that with my 911.
Two things left on a bucket list that was pretty long... A Harley Fat Boy . I rode V-twins for years but not Harleys. This one will be in the garage without a battery or gas and I will just sit on it. The other item on my bucket list escapes me at this time. I will have to find it on a note pad. Good luck |

Wow, just getting a ride in the ring taxi or drive a rental around the 'Ring would be a bucket list for me, but getting to drive my own porsche on it would surpass "bucket list" status and go to some sort of nirvana-like status.

What are they charging these days for a lap of the ‘ring in your own car?

That’s surprisingly affordable! I’m not sure the legalities or taking a rental car out there on my next trip to Europe though - lol!

But few people are on the Ring, most insurers (except for the german ones) exclude it

What a gas! Say, did you turn on the wipers even though it wasn't raining?

RSR Price List » RSRNurburg Its a bit expensive as you would expect, but totally worth it. I just rented the Fiesta ST but its a real joy on the track. I actually don't think having a superfast car would make it any more fun. Weekday afternoon is definately better than on saturday/sunday
