Yep - proving the BMW stereotype right!

They were the inspiration for my moments of joy video.

Specifically this video of theirs:

They're both great videos. You need to invest quite a lot of time and thought into getting the right off-bike clips to make it work.

Yeah, these days I'd rather be riding than making videos.

You have an unhealthy obsession with bike crash videos!

Scooby_WR1 · 26 Oct 2016 at 18:25

What a ****, feel sorry for the guy that crashed into his bike.

Diddums · 26 Oct 2016 at 18:40

I laughed way more than I should have at that. What did the guy think was going to happen? That he was going to land properly and all the women would drop their panties for him? What a dumbass. Hopefully he's learned his lesson.

Another lap from this year, one of my most enjoyable.

TallPaul_S · 26 Oct 2016 at 20:14

How much does it cost per lap? I'd be quite tempted to go there for a long weekend and spend a day or to lapping the 'ring

edd1e · 26 Oct 2016 at 20:19

Goes up pretty much every year, when I started going in 2008 it was €17/lap, it's now €29/lap.

It's so busy nowadays, you're lucky to get more than 20 laps in a weekend trip.

Nothing can beat the buzz though, when you're new to it, it's unbelievably scary. The faster you go the safer you are. I'm now at a pace where I rarely get passed thankfully, if I do it's locals in M3's and 911's.

TallPaul_S · 26 Oct 2016 at 20:21

Ouch, that's not a cheap weekend then. Nothing else like it though I imagine. Ring fever

Kreeeee · 26 Oct 2016 at 21:17

They need to up the price as it has so many people there now.

Not really, as most people there have the money to pay much more than the current price per lap. The car park is full of money.

If demand out strips supply, up the price.

They probably need to do something, as they seem to stumble towards bankruptcy every few years.

TallPaul_S · 26 Oct 2016 at 22:06

But then you'll price out the people who don't own 911 GT3's who just want to do some laps and don't live there.

At 29 euros per lap it's far more expensive than a UK trackday, that's before you've even got there and back and found somewhere to stay.

I don't imagine that they're too bothered about us Brexit-focussed Brits and the cost of our travel.
