Best to put this lot in a new thread, lots of media to take in
Videos first, my rear cam was playing up this year only managed one lap with it
First best was a 9:55 BTG with a small off at Adenaur Forst lol, a fine example of me getting impatient and trying to force the issue on the inside at one of the tightest corners on the track

Second was my best time at 9:40, worked out we lost 25 seconds at the roadworks using RaceChrono from a previously clean run through that sector.

Both timed using racechrono (if anyone knows how to transfer the details or graphs to my laptop if be grateful)
Now onto pics, I shall just post and let them do most the talking

just watched your vid and the majority of the time you appeared to just stay in the middle of the track and not really follow any lines.. i know your car is reasonably average so most logical race lines wont apply but some of those corners were litterally just driven around.
your also very on/off with the pedals and turning in.. you would be better trying to be a lot smoother, do you actually know where the track goes and the way the corners are made up? i know you've been a couple of times but sometimes i thought you seemed to be a bit cautious of some corners and once you knew it was ok you stamped on it.
car sounds nice too.

i was taking lines, but because the cam is so far forward in the car it looks like i am staying quite central as it cuts a lot off the edges of the video in relation to where the actual car is, it would look competely different if i could mount a cam inside the car
i pretty much know the track inside out and anyone who has been with me can vouch i am taking correct lines most of the time
with regards to the sound, again all of the sound is made by a cone filter no exhaust sound so only really makes a noise when you are WOT, you wont hear it even if my throttle is lifted off at 75%
also you try 'just driving' round the ring in high 9's in a 125bhp shitbox lol

you need to get a better cam then, have you got vids of in car? and what makes you think that these people who can vouch for you know what the best lines are anyway unless sabine has sat in with you when i said know the track i dont mean know it like 'there is a left next or there is a long straight coming up' i meant the unjulations on the corners the camer of the corners bumps you feel etc.. you know what i mean?
i recon if you was smoother and not so agressive at turn in i recon your lap times could drop to mid 9's.

Panorama's are really good - any chance of getting the full res pics - would make an awesome full length canvas on my wall.

Someone needs to give me a lift to the ring and back for a weekend... I'm going to rent a Corsa VXR with r888s and spank it round, then come home.
Total spend 200 euros.

Love this, go out there give it a go. Record your lap so we can rip you to shreds as well, oh and done a track day yet?
This isn't like driving on a PS3, real world physics apply.
