Me and Gimmo were in Nürburgring a few days too, equally fantastic in different ways of course. We should all go some time! The Ring is a proper Coupe-track, even more so than Spa, IMO.
NurburgRing in a sunny day. A good day to die. We have to organize a track day next year! Spa+Nurb, all together!

Likewise! We had a nice fight and your Coupe was very inspiring - it would be nice to have a full track weapon one day. Maybe another Coupe..

Thanks Per. Its work in progress as far as my coupe is concerened. Spa has given me the chance to think about a few things for the car. We were blessed with great weather and great people around us. Nice to see you again Per.
What about a RHD track car then?

Hmm well no, LHD please! (I've been thinking about using my spare Argenta (rwd) mated with the 20vt lump - it fits the gearbox and the eng.bay is long enough - but I sold it instead. Should've been a killer though!)

Anyway, a lot of coverage of Magoo, me and a certain fast french portofino blue Coupe with led-lights and a VERY loud exhaust.. Who was it?
His nickname is Fab on french forum. His exhaust is a Cybox.

I have enjoyed viewing your camera footage and the enthusiasm, so thanks for sharing all.
Interesting to see the big turbo cars struggle in 2nd gear corners, could just be the driver has a big foot of course. How did the brakes hold up - much overheating?

2nd gear for me in the corners is traction control working too much. I eventually turned it off. Brakes setup, K-Sport 8 pots, 330x32mm discs, XP8 brake pads, ATE super blue. No sign of any brake fad and even managed to make the car squirm when braking down the Kemmel straight from nearly 150mph

No problems here either, MTEC's with Performance Friction 08 pads, Lockheed 5.1 fluid. The 18" road tires however.. On regular (twistier) tracks I do need better ones. Already bought GTA 330mm calipers, on the hunt for good disc's (and 17" wheels) now.

My brakeing style is a bit late and hot into the corners so i need a stronger brakeing force set up. At the moment i have mtec drilled and grooved discs with xp10 pads with castrol sfr fluid and its ok. I will try to get the car lighter before i decide but its likly to be a compbrake set up or even the K-sport. Removing the passenger seat would help but i am not that brave!

Yours was a car that I thought the brakes were getting hot but I also thought Nismo had a problem in one video. I have no budget for brake mods. right now apart from the new flexible lines.
The seats weigh 20kg each.

The seats weigh 20kg each. My brakes are allways hot as its a track car. The bucket seat is even less but thats not the reason that i am not brave enough to remove it! You havent met Gill yet have you.

No I haven`t met Gill. No track time equals no dinner?
You seemed to have Per working hard to keep up. I don`t think I can afford to do track days or have the skill, but watching all these videos has me keen to try.

Its a good vid by Per and was alot of fun,i only realised i was on base boost(1.15 bar) for the whole session when back at the parking.
It takes time to build up the confidance with your car and yourself to be honest . Just dont let the red mist descend!
Trackdays are not cheap but i justify it by thinking how much longer can i do it?

Sedicivalvole likes to spin That will be Sedicivalvole spinning it again! See my video for him spinning it in the first session Ha now its the big talk from you boys I span once, took my eye off the road trying to watch the European - turned out to be French Coupe behind me as he disappeared into my blind spot at speed, couldn't tell what he was going to do at the end of Kemmel and paid the price. Ah leave him alone. He was only on 2 wheels at the time Too right Limit of the car on standard suspension. No mater how fresh, I reckon the best you can do with a Coupé without any mechanical upgrades. As usual it didn't stop me showing up the boys with much more power and better suspension

Yes, you were slow. Very slow Mr Gimmo My first time on track.. I drove thinking that - I have only Coupé - I have to come back to Italy whit Coupé - I don't want to stress Too much tyres and brakes - I have standard clips!!! - My girlfriend side by me is scared - My Coupé is full stock So.. For me it was a success! In Italy we say "Who goes slow, goes far away"

http://youtu.be/Cwh9UWLCcFkAnother spin at 1.48 aswell.. Was wet though.. Just allows for improvements for next year, Having a ride out in nicks car, I gotta say it is very composed on track for standard suspension so if he spun he would be pushing it or done something stupid. Also very similar to mcmikes car

Maybe its best to be prepaired so there is no spinning on track. Just a wild thought!
