mph Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Yes! Getting excited John (@graearea) and I are off to the Bilster Berg on the Tuesday before, so a fun week…--Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptr_drvr Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Still 10 weeks away for me, but 4 weeks til my trackday in Salzburg.There's four days of TF at the end of September, which just happens to also be my birthday. I'm trying to convince the wife that we don't need to go on holiday for the occasion, rather I go to the Ring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mph Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 Oo, what's the track at Salzburg Pete? What a beautiful area to visit. You are a lucky chap being down there in Europe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptr_drvr Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 It's (imaginatively) called the Salzburgring and i'm there with GP Days, limited to 60 cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mph Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 Absolutely cracking day out at the Nords last Friday with @graearea. Great to meet Enrique, @Madriles, the night before too. We saw you heading out on to the track just after 9am, but then didn't see your car again all day. Where were you hiding? Did you have a good day? It's a pity we didn't get to do a three-cat convoy There's a distinct possibility we'll head back again next year. RaceChrono said we managed an 8:07, with an eight-dead 'optimal' time. The heavens opened in the afternoon though, and neither of us were brave enough to push any harder Unfinished business, then.In other news, the Bilster Berg track day we did on the Tuesday before was probably my best day on track, ever. For multiple reasons. Mostly though because it was filthy weather in the morning, and we just did this… Videos coming to the YouTubes channel (below) as soon as I've finished sifting through the GBs captured.

Madriles Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Hey Mark,Yes, it was great meeting you and John, honestly. Pity we could not share more time together.I saw John in the mirror when I was in the queue to go out to the track, it was the last time I had the chance to see you guys, unfortunately.The thing is that the issue I had the day before on my way there, the throttle link and pedal sensor issue, reproduced again and again. I had it happening already in the first lap and opted to go out of the track. Then it happened again on the road, just like the day before. So the rest of the Friday was about getting the car towed and return to Switzerland.Anyhow, not the greatest track day I've ever had for obvious reasons, but at least left the will to come back again and remove the bitter taste left. And maybe combine it this time with Bilsterberg too, based on what you guys told me and how much fun you had.Hope to meet you soon and have more time with you guys, in and out of the track.And for sure I will pay attention to any other trip you organize, as I will try to join when possible.

mph Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 Oh no Enrique, that's terrible luck! *yikes* At least it was only a car fault eh. Glad you managed to get it home!Until next year gentlemens … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graearea Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Oh noes!!! I was worried something had gone wrong but there weren't that many problems on the dayyou had said that there was a problem with it previously. that's such a shame. I turned up at the track, took one look at you and thought.... oh... I forgot my helmet..... and drove back to the hotel...I'd be well up for a repeat, if only there was a cheap/easy way of getting there that doesn't involve 12 hours travel... maybe we should get a double decker beaver tail...https://www.mvtruckrental.com/vehicles/man-tgl-12-220-double-deck-tilt-and-slide-recovery-for-hire-mvb044anyone wanna go halves?I'd be well up for doing the same thing again. maybe attempting one of the dutch tracks as well.it was an amazing week. I can tell you @mph is a nice person and we were roughly the same speed on the track which was good.got some good picshttps://www.instagram.com/grae_area/cheers!J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptr_drvr Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Good morning Nürburgring enthusiasts. In case you missed it, I broke my car at Salzburg and thus missed the Nürburgring trackday I had booked at the end of June. I was able to retain a "store credit" with Circuit Days which I plan to spend on another Ring trackday in summer 2024.So, the main question of this thread again: Who wants a club trackday at the Nürburgring in summer 2024?
