Default Manthey Ring Trackday 8/27/12

just an FYI for our european listers:

http://www.manthey-motors.de/nextsho...123&ssid=1Best

If you watch the video of their 2007 track day you may spot a couple of RL "brethren"

One of the only ways to get a flying lap of the entire ring ... not just BtoG!


I wish I was going!

If the weather is good and there are places left I'll be there.

Don't wanna shell out a heap of cash to find a wet Nordschleife when running semi-slick tyres.

don't blame you, its not even fun on street tyres in the wet ... and on MPSC+ ... forget about it ... I recall doing a PSDS there and watching the same Norwegian 997.1 GT3 spin twice in the same lap, both times narrowly missing the ARMCO (mostly) ...

I'll be there for destination nurburgring. Done the last 2 and both awesome trackdays very well organised with a great atmosphere.
Also going spa the day after as well.
I'd love to do the manthey track day one year.

super jealous, never been able to do Spa, came close when I did the PSDS @ the Ring, they made space for me for the Spa event the week after, but I was unable to change my plans to make it

I did the Manthey day in '07 (I am hiding in the background of a couple of shots) in my new '07 7.1 GT3 ... its a great event!

Hey Wurlie I am in Eastern Europe but leaving early so I can be there on Monday. See you there. Very much looking forward to the technical presentations from KW and Porsche.

I sure wish I could make this event. When I do get a chance to be back on the Ring it certainly will be a great day for me. I miss it terribly! There truly is nothing to compare it to

i love the Ring and will report on the Manthey track day. i prefer 2 or 3 day events at the Ring, e.g. scuderia hanseat and sport-auto both of which i participated this year. There are also other 2 day events e.g. by the Porsche Sport Driving School (PSDS) and by scuderia s7 which i have not attended yet
