Qualify 2

P 4/5 21st @ 8:33.811

Only 6 seconds off of Pole & even ahead of a works Audi. Great stuff.

The car is fast - here's hoping you guys don't get caught up in any trouble!

 

Holy sh.....!!! Did you run her on full power without air restrictions during practice or before on a seperate run?
And where can we find the onboard lap

 

Big congrats - that's fantastic

Its been said before, but you're living the dream!

 

Massive congratulations, that's one he'll of an accomplishment. It's been said before, but thank you allowing us all to follow the progress of this project, it's really a lot of fun to play along.

To be a scant 6sec off the factory boys in race trim is awesome, simply awesome!

And, to have set a record at the 'Ring for a Ferrari powered car is an achievement unto itself.

There's fast, there's Ferrari fast, then there's Scuderia Cameron Glckenhaus Fast!

Roll that Torch! (2012 Edition, powered by KERS.) P4/5CM: it's not a Ferrari - it's faster!

 

That's crazy... big congrats to the whole team, well done! I really hope that you don't run in any major trouble this weekend and then a brilliant result is possible. Forza Glickenhaus

 

Wonderful result Jim - your team's massive effort deserves all the success it can find. I hope your reliability is stellar for the race and your pace takes care of the competition. Have fun!!

That's amazing. Just imagine what the time would have been without the engine breathing through a straw.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Fantastic! The incredible strides you've made in just one year are amazing! If only there was going to be a third year to round out the trilogy....*crosses fingers*

 

+1

H-u-g-e congratulations to everyone involved!

Will certainly be watching over the weekend.

Best wishes, may she run long and hard! [We know it's all down to the stunning pinstripes of course - Must be worth ~30 seconds round there ]

Cheers,
Ian

 

Wow they raised your minimum weight up alot from last year... last I checked you had received the 40kg reduction and were racing at 1210 kg, have they atleast allowed you to take on more fuel as a result of the increased weight

Confused ... is the time 8:32 or 6:51 or are we talking different cars?

Pete

 

No confusion. 6:51 is for the old section of the Ring which is the course used for road car testing and is typically quoted in the magazines. A time here less than 8 minutes is considered fast... 6:51 is therefore exceptional.

8:32 is the time for the combined old section plus the new GP circuit lap.

 

Talking about different track layouts actually.

'The Ring' in Napolis' post refers to the Nordschleife (or North Loop) of the Nurburgring which is the one people are typically referencing when they talk about Ring times. It's part of the original section of track.

The 24Hrs of Nurburgring race actually includes that plus the Grand Prix track as well which extends the lap quite a bit further (12.9 mi to 15.2 mi) resulting in the difference in times you see.

There's a lot more detail on the N'Ring wiki:
