Geo,

Yr MG F21 looks very good.

What are the specs on your wheels ?

What brakes did you have before MPBBK ? and how do the new brakes compare ?

PD

Thanks PD.

Apex EC-7 18x8.5 ET45 with Kumho Ecsta KU36 in 245/40-18 on each corner.

I have been running the MPBBK for a while, but switched back to M-Sport for sale purposes. But it looks like my car won't get sold so I put her back to my tastings.

Anyway, I have tracked the M-Performance once on Zolder, running my 19" Vorsteiner support and they were great. Heat after heat they kept hanging in there.

The M-Sports on the contrary got some fading after a lap on the Nürburgring. I was really pushing, so can't blame them. I will be returning to the 'Ring soon so I'll let you know how the MPBBK holds up there.

8:20 BTG sounds like an exceptional TF time for a (even track prep) 125d, I would definitely love to see the video of the lap....

About 8min25 in this vid:

Great time! Out of curiosity, is there no requirement to wear a helmet at the 'Ring?!

No offence, but on my screen you are passing the bridge at 0:20 and the gantry at 9:10... I let you do the math....

Otherwise it's a nice lap, but like I sad, a 8:20 BTG touristenfahrten lap is quite quick for a 125d....

@ttimbo No, there isn't, it's just highly recommended

ovekvam · 11-14-2014, 05:00 PM

Seems like you have a lot of mechanical empathy with the car, staying off the kerbs and driving around the Carousel on the outside.

Oh. I thought Bridge was the one near the connection with GP Strecke? At around 0.45min? Where I let the silver E46 M3 go by. Makes a lot of sense though

Actually, that's the only time I didn't take the Karusell that day. And I stay off most of the kerbs due to not wanting to spin. In my second lap, I took a kerb going down Fuchsröhre and if traction control did not interveen, I probably would have spun. I try not to take the jumps for the same reason. Not for mechanical empathy, but to be able to go home later on the day

There are only a few kerbs that are safe to use, and some you should definitely not ride over. Regarding the jumps, it is rather important to keep the car straight over them.

In Fuchsröhre I would stay off the kerbs going down, but ride over the one on the left going up again (at the top of the hill).

Thank you! I am getting rid of the lowering and spacers after the winter break though. My back can't take any more Belgian roads

Went around the Nordschleife 2 weeks ago. Nice track but extremely hard learning curve.

Nice picture. Looks like you missed the ideal line there. It takes a lot of laps to string it all together.

I'm happy with the ride on my adaptive car with H&R springs on UK roads, no doubt no better than Belgium roads......
