No front licence plates isn't exactly an advantage for searching pics of your car the easy way :lol: :
www.nurburgringphotos.com
klik on "RINGERS"-text to enter your licence plate number.

At highspeedfotos.de, click on "Nürburgring Nordschleife",
under the correct date (16.08.2009) klick for cars with licence plates "foreign cars",
for the ones without, click "CARS FROM GERMANY" :damnfunny
you'll find pics of your car in the brand topics. Yes, also the mule! :thumbsup
Dave, there a surprisingly high amount of pics for only one lap in total.
bigD, is that a front wheel lifted, leaving the carousel chasing the R8? :shock:

Great shots.

Daft question, looking at Ali's car and the mule at the Carrousell, is there any bodywork contact made with the track? Looks mighty close. :shock:

Dom,
I damaged the splitter last year at the carousel so pics show me just trundling in slowly. It's pretty harsh on the car so I just forego the few seconds but try and exit quickly for the run up the hill to Hohe Acht. On quite a few laps I just went around the outside...

I'm sure the mule has some scars.

btw the outside is much slower and the grip is pretty variable as I found out when overtaking a Punto who'd been a road block since Bergwerk and then pitched it into the inside at the carousel... :roll:

Didn't really want to spin and land on him but needed to get well clear for the exit. :shock:
(I know it's the wrong side btw)

yes mate - more clam go faster stripes than a badger!

But its a track slut, and donkey punching it through the carousel full bore in second was AWESOME :damnfunny I think the 2 Daves can vouch for the severity and ferocity of it - didnt sound or fell good, but it was like being in a bob sleigh on the way round it, and then taking to flight on exit :twisted: Ahh, the mule on the ring, what a f*cking tremendous day out :thumbsup :cheers

When are we going back chaps - I've 7 laps to use :damnfunny

It does mate as i found out on my first lap :shock: All laps after were around the outside as seen in the pic above, and hence my slow times!!
