Yep, Gary takes some great pics but he's been doing it longer than me (that's my excuse!!)

I think you are safe for tonight but as for the Supra being in front ................ well that Celica was and the camera never lies :kiss:

I personally like the picture of the really fast car that is a blur and couldn't be captured properly by the photographer :happy:

As for that pesky Skyline - that bloke is like a bad penny :iloveyou:

Or better still, rent a car over there. With what it costs to commute the 1100 miles, you'll probably not spend much more than us with a transatlantic flight!!!

Yeah, I was only joking before - I have to agree with you on driving your own car, that's what it's all about for me. I don't think I could ever do the rental thing at the ring, it's completely soulless and....well actually it's probably very dangerous as well, alien car, LHD, etc.

hmm...whats the averge time for a Vr4 at the ring though?...whats ur average speed around the track?...whats the highest speed you can get ?

Spirit

I reckon sub 9mins is likely very soon in a VR4 (may have been done already, but 9m 19s is the best evidenced lap)......and you have to average around 80mph to acheive 10mins (according to Clarkson).

Top speed is probably around 130-135......down the foxhole......IIRC /rally

You've probably all seen it before but this is awesome

Her name is Sabine Schmitz and she is the queen of the Ring.

Who ever thought a Transit van would drive so well!!

So anyone in a VR4 who cant break the 10 minute lap must be doing something wrong /rally

I'm sure that would include me/Grrr

This was on Top Gear a few years back , she has over 15,000 laps of the ring under her belt and would bet she would beat 99% of people round the ring in what ever car they decide :D
