Yep. Excuses jonger- het is een engelse vertaling!
Jij bent heel blij met hem?

That's a tad bit late for me but I'll try to reschedule so I can make an appearance Will read up on the track day rules, would anyone be able to rent a (track) car and enter or is it invite only?

Very impressive lap! I've managed 8:13 with mine (Pagid RS14 front, RS29 rear, standard suspension and PSS tires). I recently mounted CUP2s and will soon upgrade to a KW V3 suspension. Not sure I'll be able to hit the 8 minute mark though. 7:47 is an amazing lap time!

Thanks very much.
You'll be surprised how much difference the KW's make.
You'll be very close to 8 minutes at least

The fastest lap I drove with my Z4M roady is 8.20min BTG with PSS tyres, Bilstein suspension, AP racing brakes....
Under 8 is really fast and brave with the Z4M....verry impressed!

Did you set-up your suspension rather soft...and a bit softer at the rear then the front?

Suspension is quite hard really, however the rear compression is a couple of clicks softer than usual to make the car a little more forgiving...
Thanks for the feedback.

I'm on the middle setting of my Bilstein PSS-10...any harder and it lowers the grip in my experience...but a bit softer at the rear seems to work better.

Ditto - my Ring setting is 6 front and 4 rear (day to day is 2 clicks lower for both).
I did try 10/10 - but it ends up skipping/slewing all over the place (on PSS) and gets very light on crests (especially at 140mph-ish on the bump just before Schwedenkreuz).
Probably don't see anyone else from here at the track as I've usually done 4 or 5 laps by 10am (leave hotel at 7:45, usually get straight onto the track with the car nicely warmed up).
Routine tends to be:
- 1 or 2 sighting laps
- 1 quick lap
- cooldown drive
- 1 quick lap
- cooldown
- 1 quick lap
- then go off and drive around the area for a few hours
- have a nice lunch somewhere,
- go back around 5pm for another 4 or 5 laps before it closes for the evening

Tend to miss most of the fuckwittery and 1-3 hour closures that way.
