Racing At The Nurburgring, Come And Say Hello!

RCN4 14th July at Nürburgring Nà¶rdschleife.

A crucial race for me, I needed this finish and a good result for my licence upgrade and Nà¶rdschleife permit required for VLN5 18th August. My regular teammate Jens was unwell, so another proven driver Nico Paffenholz stepped up to the role. Everything went to plan, 158 cars started, 23 in our class (V4) and we finished 7th.

Licence upgrade and permit now applied for, looking forward to mixing it with the big GT3 cars next month. 8)

Just doing some last minute negotiations, but this hopefully is the new F30 328i I'll be driving for my next 3 VLN races.

Thanks guys. :thumb:

International D licence and Nordschleife Permit B now received so all systems go for VLN5 18th August.

A bit of a belated update.

VLN 5 (18th August) and VLN 6 (1st September) now completed and what an experience it's been.

VLN 5 was the 2018 highlight 6 hour race, we qualified 10th out of 28 in our class and finished P7 which meant I received a trophy, a dream for my first VLN race.

Last Saturdays VLN 6 race went even better, we qualified P1 and finished P1 in our class. We dropped to P4 for a while, back up to P2 and took P1 with one lap to go, the excitement within the team was immense.

The new BMW F30 328i was great to drive and I've now committed to also drive the last race of this year and all 9 in 2019, I'll even sell my 997T to finance it if I have to! The bug has well and truly bitten. :D

Next race VLN 7 22nd September.

Wow!! What a great result! Congratulations Martian, that was some achievement :worship:

A word of caution though, when the racing bug bites it can become all-consuming in terms of time and money :eek:








But it is a blast :D
