Anyone got a btg time and footage for the Nόrburgring in an Omega?

[flexbuttcheck1]

10.20 in a mv6 3.0 auto driving at 8 tenths because it had to get me home to nottingham after, didnt get any footage though, ive just swapped the auto for a manual so i was hoping to go in 3 weeks time, but my mate wants to take his volvo t5 so ill have to wait till we go again in october

This is still on my list of 'things I absolutely must do before I die!!' 

Is it still something like 5 euros per lap?

[flexbuttcheck1]

it would be nice if it was 5 euros, dont know how much it is to buy one lap, it used to be about 23 euros last august, but we buy multi lap tickets and it works out about 21 euros a lap for a 4 lap ticket, though i think the price has gone up thids year

From the website:

Optional extras available at additional cost include armco repairs, safety car attendance, vehicle recovery, track closure, hospital stays and helicopter rides. I recommend avoiding these. If you can't, then the following price-list may help:

Base fee for attendance of armco truck: €150
Removing damaged armco: €10/metre (x2 or x3 or x4 for multiple-height sections)
Replacement armco: €31/metre (x2 or x3 for double/triple height)
Removing damaged armco posts: €5.10 each
Replacing armco post: €39 each
Safety car attendance: €82 per 30 mins (car + 2 people)
Circuit closure: €1,350 per hour
Recovery truck: €190 (inc VAT)
Hospital stay & air ambulance: Let's just say, do NOT go there without travel insurance!
Everything except the recovery truck is then subject to 19% VAT.

Perhaps I'll just stick to the M25 at 3am then!

you need to drive well within your limits there are parts that can easily catch you out and the dearest bill ive heard of was 16000 euros for track closure and repairs  but its still big fun even if your only driving at 7 tenths well worth it and the german countryside in the eiffel region is beautiful

It was in 1988 when I did a few laps 

[allday]

I went in Easter 2001 and shot some in car footage. Unfortunately I lent the tape out. However, it was never returned to me. So lost the footage of me doing my first lap in the snow!

The ring don't pull no punches. It is as hard core as driving can be. I don't think I would go again, as it is just such a place that the mist can descend. Getting you to drive beyond your limits.

you cant film your laps anymore, unless your on a official track day, and they have spotters round the track to catch you not sure of the punishment if your caught but a lot of people seem to put laps on you tube.
