Well, not so much an update but a video catalogue of my trip to the Nurburgring (wanted them all in one place for ease of access more than anything).
First video was filmed by Scott (SicklyPilot) and was my virgin lap (so don't expect anything spectacular :lol: )

After this I did two more laps before lunch, then another lap after a coffee (4 in total). I was then found in the car park and told that I failed a drive by decibel test and couldn't go back out (potentially 140dB plus!!!). But I had completed my 4 laps so wasn't that fussed about not being allowed out. (Thought it was more to do with it being a Sunday; day of rest etc).
I then followed the rest of the TRO crew to Spa, where I knew I wasn't driving, but got dB tested anyway for the hell of it.
**video to follow as can't remember who hosted it**
Then on the way back from Spa, whilst a passenger in Chris' car (MilanoChris), Scott filmed this... :lol:

Later that evening, prior to a group BBQ, it was mentioned that I should drive a little country road in the far off distance to see if the car could be heard from the houses where we were staying. It could. I'm in the trees on top of the hill in the distance in the centre of the video.

The following day I decided to have another go at the 'Ring but thought my attempt was going to be cut short when a marshall told me to pull over after the entrance gate to be tested. A few minutes passed and the tester couldn't be found so I was told I could go. To see the tester chasing my car down in my rear view mirror! I pretended not to see him and carried on. Scott, provided the camera work again. (Filmed on my camera so available in 1080p!).

In hindsight I should have cleaned the windscreen! :lol:
Then, as soon as I came in to the car park, I was approached by two marshalls, and banned for the second time in three days. D'oh.

Seems a hot 70RR can achieve 120dB at 3k rpm! :shock:
...
So all in all a great trip, and very much looking forward to next year!
