Nürburgring trip with my Ibiza

[Kgroot.nl]

On the 4th of septembre I did a trip to the Nürburgring with some other Seats.

First some pictures on the autobahn (managed to drive 232 km/h or 144 MP/H):

Waiting for the Ring to open:

First lap with the FR ever:

One of the Leon's crashed at the ring. No one was hurt but the Leon is a totall write off
Now I'm addicted
the 30th of octobre we will make the second trip to the ring

Looks like you had fun mate, I had a blast there myself on the 29th August. How much is it costing the LEON owner then? They charge you for all sorts if you crash there right? here are a few spy pics of mine in action at the ring.

The crash wil costs the insurance 20k
13.000 for the Leon en 7k for the ring itself.
Your Boca looks good mate!

 

[jc_boc]

Thanks mate. First rule of the rule, don't crash LOL.

 

[Kgroot.nl]

second rule is: don't try to drive better than your own skills

 

[jc_boc]

LOL, aint that the truth. What sort of time did you manage round the ring? My best i could do was 10 minutes and 15 seconds roughly.

11:.. something was mine.
It was my first lap with the Ibiza so drive like an old man

 

[jc_boc]

LOL. that was also my first ever time but hit that time on the third lap I did. Got 4 laps but only managed to do 3 before packing up and driving back to our hotel. best fun I have ever had in my entire life and will definately be doing it again.

Glad you had a good time! Your lucky your Dutch insurance covers you for the ring. Us Brits are not insured on the ring so if we crash were in the ****!My best time is 9 m ins dead.

 

[jc_boc]

Damn!!! That's a quick time! Something to work towards hehehehehe

Dutch insurance officialy isn't going to pay if you say it's the Nurburgring.
But only one company does and thats the one which I'm insured with

 

[bubbles1]

If your insurance company could insure us lot over here they would have some very good business but in reality i know this isn't possible

These cars look fantastic, real shame about the Leon, it looked cracking

And it wasn't a beginner too.
This year only he made 200 laps on the Nurburgring

 

[bubbles1]

That's the problem with the ring. You think you know it and BAM! it bites you when you don't expect it. I've done around 600 laps over the last 12 years and never underestimate the chance of an accident.

The Nurburgring is very addictive! I go every year and would go more if money was no issue. Seeing your photo's of the Autobahn and the circuit makes me want to go back there asap. I managed 8:50 when I lapped this year. It's a shame that someone crashed, I'm impressed that the insurance will pay out for it too! Must have been bad if the 'Ring costs were 7k!

Well go on the 30th of octobre then.
I will be there too

I'm there on 1st october then heading to Spa on the 4th for a trackday
