Re: Dave and Gnil @ Nürburgring Nordschleife
Kobalt:Thanks guys,
Gnil: You get used to the fast cars. But the speed difference on some parts of the track is just enormous. Especially in the dry. Slow corners they are not so much faster but in the fast section... wow!
The biggest problem for us in our car are the cars that are faster than us but with slower drivers. We simply can't overtake them unless we surprise them during breaking. They can drive slow into the corners just to accelerate out.
Our car has no "turbo-boost-power" button so we must drive with momentum. When they break before a corner we loose so much time. Very frustrating - but in the end fun :-)
I guess you just hold your line and the faster ones need to find their way and you give space when it is convenient ?
Next time you could take the RS ? A bit more punch out of the corners and leave the moving chicanes behind

Joost:Will you be replacing Olive with another nice Porsche Frank?
Of course! Not a GT3 for once but I’m sure I’ll return to that as that feels like my natural home.

Re: Dave and Gnil @ Nürburgring Nordschleife
Frank, congratulations for the new ride ( kid 
) 
This one is being trained right from the start and starting at the bottom as it should be. He will become a great driver 
The mother looks good too

Re: Dave and Gnil @ Nürburgring Nordschleife
waiting for PDK:Is it only America that gets the completely necessary glow-in-the-dark interior trunk release? (I think it's a US law so kids don't get locked in the trunk but it's wonderfully superfluous on a 911.)
A girl I know do fit inside the front trunk of a 911 and the one in a 918.
I put her inside.

Kobalt:Nordschleife this weekend?
As the NLS race that was supposed to be on Saturday is cancelled (bummer) there is now 3h TF on Friday and TF the whole Saturday and Sunday.
Weather looks nice in the weekend.Anyone else going there?
just checked .... my region is on the covid risk area for Germany , so I need to quarantine or organise a test ( negative ) to be able to enter D . Getting too last minute to get organized for me.

I think that's only the case if you stay longer than 24h, isn't it?

Yes, I think that is correct
@Porker: I would find it to be very difficult to check from where people come, unless they check the number plates .

Re: Dave and Gnil @ Nürburgring Nordschleife
Kobalt:Well - maybe safe is better than sorry.
I am on my way. I’ll drive for you too Eric.
Enjoy 👋
next Saturday we are supposed to have an end of the season track day at “ Anneau du Rhin “ , if Covid does not bring in further restrictions by then

Can't make it unfortunately, have fun!Re: Dave and Gnil @ Nürburgring Nordschleife
Beautiful photo.
We were supposed to do Anneau du Rhin on Saturday. France just went into lockdown, so all is canceled 
Germany is a no go for us if we do not have a negative Covid test .
I wanted to end up the season with a last track day.... will most probably just go for a drive in the mountains.....
