FFS, what's there excuse ? Are they interested in resolving since they've dropped the ball?

Can you not source pads off the shelf from anywhere ?

Not sure will try and look tomorrow these brakes full stop ain't giving me any confidence

Give me some details on the calipers/pads I'll have a look for ya

Cant they pull their finger, get some made tomorrow and pay for overnight carriage so you get them Friday. Its the least they should do

Or at least get some standard ones off the shelf as a back up. Should at least last the trip?

You seen my driving style I take banging gears n harsh breaking to a new level. Hence my poor performance on track but put me on the street in crazy maneuvers and I take some beating

13 of us down for it at the moment.


will also be putting up some general details within next couple days so keep an eye.


this last week is going to drag

What time do you think we'll arrive at the hotel? Just wondering if we'll have time for laps seeing how the ring is showing open for an evening session.

Not a great idea after a early start and a long drive!
You don't want to bin it on the first day....

No early start for me, my hotel is apparently within spitting distance of the tunnel, heading down Sunday afternoon.

I couldn't pass up on laps if it's open,

Conflicting info too,TF is supposed be every weekday evening between 17:15 - 19:00 but Iv just seen bridgetogantry and another site say it's only Monday and Wednesday its open next week

Official site says it's open

Its a well known myth that its open everyday to the public...

It's a canny shank Dan I won't do it first day. Nothing stopping you mate but it's a holiday as much as anything for me having a day where I do jack shit but chill. Ready for it me

im not sure i could pass up on a couple of laps, but I'll play it by year see what time we arrive etc etc

If I had spa booked or it was open more than 2hrs an evening I might not be so eager

I'm just there for the Gp johnny and like you say a nice well earned break with all you lot. I'll probably do the ring once on Thursday if its open, but see how it goes.

How many GTi-R's are making the trip ?

5 I think. Depends how many johnny brings ;-)

3 leons I think as well.

Standard week before a trip whichever car i have decides to be a t**t. Buffet sounds good!

Almost as good as a few laps in the GTR Bob....

Not good mate what's happened with the motor?

Everyone ready to go, been a busy boy washing the motor and sorting a few niggling bits today but should be all sorted and packed tomorrow

Sorry not been on, laptop has gone up the wall, will try and put as much as I can with phone.
Shall we all meet at j11 m20 like last time? I'll be stopping there anyway to fill up with a bit of v power. Its only 1 junction from train. Shall we say from about 10-10.30. Last check in is 11.20 but try and get there a bit before so we get on same train.
Has everyone got hotel address, it should be in your sat navs, if you look on places of interests, hotels, the town is Adennau and hotel is Landhaus sonnenhof.see you all at the services or at the train terminal.
