I am still undecided about which tires i'll be taking to the ring this year, i'm afraid my PSC2's won't make it until then...But i'll definitely need some decent rubber to try and beat you

PS: Those drone shots are amazing. If that isn't the most beautiful place in the world, i don't know what is. Gosh, i really miss it!

The new Flugplatz is quite a bit faster. I am about 10 kph faster at the braking point.

I also heard the PSC2s were short lived, but I can't tell from personal experience yet. The AD08Rs, however, I know them to be relatively endurant : 15k km + many trackdays on my last set. And while they are a notch below the PSC2s on grip, they're still very very good.

And thanks for the kind words

Thanks for the many times you've replied to my posts with help.

I missed your journal thread. I like the way you put up links to the stuff you did in the first post.

Where do you source your part? Specifically the Centric brake discs you mentioned over here, and the Enkei RPF1s.

Hope to meet you at a trackday sometime.

That's what what a forum is for, no worries .

My Subaru dealer sells Stoptech parts. Centric being the standard parts made by Stoptech (no groove or other marketing malarkey).

I bought the RPF1s second hand, so I can't help you there.

I'm still to chicken to drive the Nordschleife. I need good runoff areas for peace of mind. Maybe we will meet at another Skylimitevent, do you go to Zolder too?

I haven't been to Zolder in a while, I should fix that! And if you want a passenger ride on the 4th, hit me up.

Thanks for the offer! Unfortunately I have to work on the 4th.
It would have been great to get an introductory lap.

I am hoping to go to Zolder on the 22/6, but I still don't know if I will have the day off.

I just checked and my PSC2's have 5000km(200 on track) already, with probably around 50-40% left. So i'll probably get a new set for the ring

I saw today there will be a trackday at the Nordschleife on the 10th of August, very tempting since i'm staying there until the 11th!

@Tor join us on August, you know you want to

I'll might come as a spectator. Nordschleife is too scary for me for now.

Like Guillaume said, feel free to join as a passenger and you'll get to know it

And i'm done ruining his thread

[Tor]

That would be great! Thanks for the offer. I'll PM you once we get closer to the date.

[Guillaume]

Nürburgring trackday ! A GoPro lap should arrive soon...

[Iceman]

What's the time to beat this August? Come on...

[Guillaume]

Not many clean laps.. Between rain showers and closures, I only managed 10 laps, none of which were really clean. I think my old 8:42 BTG still stands

Here ya go :thumbs:
