Its great fun. Think JR was impressed, we decided to race and he ended up letting me past. Its just a bit of a heap really, badly sprayed wing, miss match front bumper, wing mirror facing the sky...

I was watching James' mallory vid the other day and thought he was definately granny shifting rather than double clutching. The way he was driving I'm surprised he didn't have to replace the piston rings he fried.
Glad he didnt, otherwise me and the mad scientist would have to rip apart the block

I did think that but wasn't going to comment, that's the reason most people go, just have to be safe whilst chasing, not like the guy in the Nurburg Astra who pushed his and the cars limits

everyone done a lap now only real news is graham had an off costing 3k for barrier repairs  car damage is rear quarter rear bumper and light and front bumper and light. Weather is gorgeus
Whilst I feel my speed was only a small factor to the incident, I did push the cars limits on that occasion, but feel free to comment when you know what happened.

He's ok, the car is obviously still driveable. I knew he made a comment earlier on coming accross a bit cocky so thought I'd dig it up.
Sorry to offend you Daimo 
It wasn't a cocky statement, it was pure fact, he was chasing times...

Sod it, only live once, was good to get out again! The Ring stickers on the damage certainly got a few laughs lol

Was coming down past Hatzenbach near the bridge that goes over Adenau doing about 120, was easy to get up to that speed as it was a fast right hander coming into it then it goes uphill I hit the crest of the hill and then after that it's quite bumpy and the next thing I know before I've even got the corner that back end of the car just comes out I full locked into it but it was already on the grass by this point. I was sliding along side the barrier but as the car went to straighten up the front left of the car just caught the armco and swung the back of the car around and then bounced me back into the track where it came to a stop. Then pushed the car back and ran and kicked the armco, all in a matter of seconds

I'm confused where you crashed?
What do you mean over the bridge near adenau? Do you mean the bridge near the town of nurburg?
I'm trying to figure out by your description and I'm thinking it's the left hander before the hair pin to go back down the foxhole?
almost around here?

Sounds like Kallenhard to me.
edit: actually if your on about the bridge in the fast sections that will be the one that runs under to Quidelbach at Flugplatz. before Adenaur forest.

Flugplatz.
I thought Warren went of at Aremburg; the right hander before heading down and up the hill before adenaur forest.
