Have any of you done driver training at the Ring? 3 of us are heading to Europe and want to drive the Ring. Unfortunately the timing doesn't work with Spa
did two trackdays at the ring. August 2015 and august 2013. Both days were horrible in context of weather (rain, cold) and we`d not that much track-time because of accidents... But as a proper german, i`ve to come back again and again :-)
For the moment, i prefer trackdays on other tracks with more free room alongside the black stuff...

Takes a lot of ***** to turn without lifting there! Great to see some footage of Gary too. And some 'oldtimers' out on track - I guess they were getting some practice in for the Spa Classic races later in the year. It's given me the impetus to sort out my summer trip to Spa and Zandvoort that I've been thinking of.

BTW...not keen on the auto-focusing with your new camera set up. I guess that feature also caused the blurred footage later on when the windscreen got dirty?

Its a shame I let Grant past so early, it was very entertaining for a couple of laps with Jovial and the C4S after he went by

Thanks, still lots of practice required....an excuse to go back me thinks!

Sorry, I know what you mean. It's not so obvious when you watch it back on the phone

First, and last, time I'm using the phone's video capability with the dalalogging software.....though I can export it and put over one of the other videos anyway, so may try that....but for sure it's either a better mount or just stick with the GoPro for video!

Sorry mate.....I thought you'd all come with me (wanted my moment of glory at the front) and then failed to lift off, heavy right foot syndrome
