2007 TRD3 DTM Championship - Round 5 Eurospeedway

[Brown, Jon Brow]

yeah an official extension would be cool... I don't have the resources to hop back & forth from Belgium to Germany all weekend.

anyone know how far apart the tracks are anyway?

According to Googlemaps about 750km(469miles) or about a 6 hour drive on the Autobahns

If you zoom in you can see the tracks

Looking forward to see what Piotr can do - he's been very quick in qualifying with these cars.

Yes, but Eurospeedway it's not a good track for me bacause setup is so important in this track. I do my best as always .

One guy form Poland (not Sloma) did 0'58.42 in this track. Do you think that this time is possible?

A 58 laps isn't possible for me

wow that's some cool ****. I didn't know you all had google maps too!

I sure hope to make a trip like that one day. starting in Belgum would be fine, but I don't know if Eurospeedway is where I would want to end up. Maybe another German track, or Silverstone, or something.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

It's only 80miles from Spa to the Nordschleife. Now that would be a trip, especially if you had an Aston DB9, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti or other kind of Grand Tourer

Going from Spa to Silverstone would be ruined by having to get the ferry or train through the Channel Tunnel, you would also have the problem of driving a right hand drive car on the wrong side of the road or vice versa, because like you americans, the continental Europeans stupidly drive on the wrong side of the road

racer, what chances of changing the due date until Wednesday 27th? This will give us a week + V8's are due on Sunday 24th.

No problem

New Deadline - Wednesday 27th June

well look at that! the road goes with through the water!

I would rent my car in europe instead of england for sure then. I don't mind in the V8 cars when they switch me to the other side of the car in cockpit view because my pedals are still in the right place and I'm paddle shifting.

I wouldn't want to drive with the pedals backwards & the shifter on my left.

is that why you use a hand pad? because you don't like the pedals the american way? or do you & the aussies get your own special pedals?

[Brown, Jon Brow]

What? Do you use the left peddle for the gas? Maybe you should get an automatic johnny!

We still accelerate with our right foot and clutch with our left foot (and sometimes break with the left foot!)

I find having the gear stick on the left side of the car helps, as I'm right handed I keep my right hand on the wheel.(I'm better steering right handed than left handed)

Anyway, I thought everyone in the states drives autos?

[johnny shell]

so the gas pedal is on the outside of the car? I mean away from the transmission tunnel?

now THAT is funny! you guys are so silly......

Why?

YOUR silly

What do you drive johnny? Maybe we should buy you a RIGHT hand drive car for you to laugh at.
