right, scene as it cannot be moved now as this is a WHOLE MK5 SECTION :happy2: would anybody be interested in going next year?? i think mat is going and a few others, but now theres a thred if anybody fancies adding anything too this, id personally love 1 big forum cruise down, would be amazing :happy2:
even TT can come in his RS4 :jumpmove:
-
I'd love to go to the "green hell". But I would be seriously cautious - I would really want 'ring participants to have done at least one normal UK track day beforehand, as the ring can be lethal.
-
As said before im very interested, but currently in the process of organising one with a few work pals to go during the Le Mans weekend in June as it's supposed to be a bit quieter! :drinking:
-
Would love to do a road trip down but i honestly cannot see myself being able to afford it next year :ashamed: :ashamed:
Be sure to put up loads of pic though to make me wish i went :laugh: :laugh:
-
Very much up for this, never been before and it is something I wanna do before I get rid of the ED30 :happy2:
-
I think maybe we should orgainise sommat closer to home first though. I quite liked the idea of Bedford Autodrome which JV tried to organise.
I really wouldn't want to go to the Nurburgring with any track day virgins - not a safe place if you can't keep yourself under control.
-
i went and i was a track virgin :driver: :P u just drive within your limits

Yebut, not everyone can behave themselves. Just look at that tw@t who pranged the RS4 at Castle Coombe! :fighting:

Ahh, but it is a million times better to drive all the way down to Bavaria and the Alps. The German/Swiss/Austrian Alps really are absolutely amazing. And so are the Pyrennese too. And the Massif Centrale in France. :wink: :driver:

Yup, did you see how "cocky" the little sh!te was after he had got out the car - he certainly angered quite a few at Combe with not only his driving, but also his attitude. :fighting: :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

I think he got someone (his dad, so I heard) to borrow it for the weekend, for an extended test drive (yes, Audi will do that!), but then thought he would be clever and thash it on a track day. So he wasn't even insured to drive it, only his dad, and only on normal public roads.
And I think that it was his attitude before the prang that got other peoples backs up. Off the track, he was just being generally cocky and obnoxious. On the track, before the prang, he kept repeatedly trying to get the back end out, and was generally being really scary, to other cars on the track too. It was said that the marshals were going to black flag him at the end of that session anyway - but sadly, for the car, he didn't make it to the end of the session.
I heard that immediately after the prang, his cocky attitude didn't really change initially, but somone must have talked sense into him (hopefully with the aid of a few size 12 steel toe caps to the 'nads), and he sneaked off. W4nker!

Can't remember. Try Googling for RS4 crash at Audi Driver International, Castle Coombe.

Just watched the footage, oh dear dear, what a complete nob!! I cant believe somebody would be stupid enough to take a borrowed car to a track day and worse still not be insured :mad:

Yeah, that is one, but there were many more on YouTube, but the tw@t asked for them all to be removed. Thankfully, the Dutch chose to raise their middle finger.
