Just be sure to schedule and pay in advance for Hockenheimring (that's what they told me when I went)... they screwed me on that one. So I never raced on it. If you all get together, you can schedule it to where you guys race each other for set laps. Who has the quicker 8 or better driver? OOooooahh! Challenge lol. Ya'll stay safe, going to miss Germany and the tracks I've missed lol. Goodbye legendary tracks hello autocross.

I went in mid-summer last year without any reservations or anything and didn't have a problem getting on the track. It was a little crowded but I stil had a great time.

Looks great, I want your rims lol. Red anodized lugs nuts would look even sicker. I would have taken those Motegi's if I knew you were still.

they are flush ,i got no rubbing lower 1.4 front 1.2 rear , if u wanna go more low u will have to roll the fender and trim the back tap on the inside, front maybe also difficult since mine is close to touching the inner wall .18x 9.5 is excellent but dont go lower than +30 offset or higher than +42

Hi,

I'm currently stationed in Belgium and there are no 8s in here, maybe about 4, but the thing is that I have not seen any meets of any car around here plus they speak french and they are very rude (no offense to any belgian here). So if you guys planned any meets in the Germany area or go to Nurburgring which I'm going too this this summer, can you guys let me know?, it would be cool to meet more 8 owners and have a good time racing at the track or doing whatever you guys do. I used to go at the meets in PR which we call "La Fiebre" and it used to get crazy but that was all street racing/not safe. Anyway just wanted to let you guys know. Thanks.

UK Nurburgring in Apr

Driving down to the Trier area the third week of April, and am planning on getting out on the Ring the weekend before/evenings the week of. It'll be my first time there, and my first time on any track. I'll have a passenger with me that has done a few laps there, but was wondering if you folks could provide any insight to help me capitalize on my time there . Thanks in advance!

MD

Given the distance you'll be from spa and the 'ring you'll have another rx8 in the driveway though

Weather is getting nicer. Gotta do some work on my car but I'll probably be trying to head to the ring at the end of this month after I get back from Italy. Excited to get some footy of the ring with my gopro.

Damn that sucks, I'm leaving Spang in December. You're definitely gonna miss the 8, the roads around here are AMAZING!
