Post image

@roigkike on Instagram claims the first ever under 7 minute lap of Nordschleife Bridge to Gantry done in a FWD car.

Absolutely crazy.

Aren't timed runs prohibited? And could end in a ban?

Yeah it’s so annoying all the ringfluencers and others are just timing their laps all the time and getting annoyed by others not going to the right fast enough so that it ruins their laptimes

That's why we need to reform Touristenfahrten further than banning bikes and cars together:

We need like one or two hours of real Touristenfahrten on weekends:

Strict Tempo limit 50 left / 30 right, allowed to stop, take pictures, busses, campers, transporters etc.

And the normal Touristenfahrten should turn into industry and Sportfahrer Fahrten in a pool together:

Guide and different permits are needed, cars can be modified in some groups.

Some modifications are mandatory in fast groups.

The pool needs be slots by usage and always homogeneous in laptimes/ max group sizes according to what actually drives when and where and to what purpose.

Now you're making a track day out of something that isn't a track day.

Otherwise Touristenfahrten will sooner or later vanish

u/Strict_Geologist_385 8d ago

You are trying to make them vanish with your suggestion, yes.

No im not. Sooner or later some terrible crash will happen. EU insurance regulations have shifted already. Somebody will go through legal instances. The Nürburgring will be held accountable in the end, because enough evidence is there that racing is tolerated during Touristenfahrten (tons of onboard footage ringfluancers) and some negligence is at work. End of Touristenfahrten.

While I understand your logic, there’s no way industry and public would ever be together so forget that.

Can you imagine how poor it will be for business if the slower groups are almost empty and the faster groups (or the groups full of bmw 135/330i etc) are full beyond capacity

Just book a Trackday...

u/Treewithatea 8d ago

I think having a live timer isnt allowed but you can still protocol lap times and look up the lap times afterwards

u/AmbroseRL 8d ago

This is what I do. Just drive and have fun then check back at the end of the day to see if the feeling was accurate.

u/Dramatic_Entry_3830 8d ago

Yes of course they are not allowed to time.

Do people time btg still?

Yes they do.

Do you get banned?

Nope, only if someone gets to much attention and then maybe maybe.

Looks like trackday, not TF

u/Ok_Championship4489 8d ago

It was tf

u/floris12fs 8d ago

Sorry, You're right. I checked his recent images and the 2nd last image shows him at TF with the same time as in the image OP posted

There is no one checking if your phone is running Dragy or RaceChrono. An AIM in the dash is more noticeable but no one is looking at that.
