Last track day at Nurburgring in my z06
This past weekend (yesterday) was the last day north loop was open for public. I did good 4 laps, all around 8min time mark. Im getting more comfortable with the car, which is great. When i was pulling up there temps were 32f, with roads being very damp. There was also a lot of fog(gp track wouldnt even open cause it was so thick). Track was primarily dry...

Carbotech front brake pads

If they need to call police to make an accident report(for insurance company) or if there are injuries, they close the track for a while, otherwise just yellow flags and make people to slow down

sorry guys, i made the post through the Iphone, through the forum app, so it messed up the link, and now i can't even fix it in original post.
Yes, it was really foggy and cold. Aero is a big issue, i have a vid with the view of interior, and you can see how much movement the car gets! It gets really scary. I honestly don't feel comfortable going under 8 minutes.
So this time is 8:15, with cold, 2 accidents, and minor delay in the beginning because the guy i was with pressed "open" button on my double decker so the whole panel was in the way (I was going slow as we were trying to fix it).
I really want to get some semi slicks, I think i'll be able to cut another 30 seconds quite easily. I know the turns where i can go much faster, but i'm just not sure of the grip... and the back end is twitchy.
I do have a few vids from sunny days (so far about 20 laps in the Z), and actually one of them is when i caught air (all 4's)! I was recording both inside and outside, but i can't find anyone to help me combine the vids.

Just for the season. It's a very damp place as is, so ice build up is possible. GP track is open for two more weekends. This weekend i'm going to either N GP or Hockenheim ring...

Thanks good news. Been reading about bankruptcy and so worried. Drove it a month ago while on a family vacation. Need to go back next year for a "Ring" vacation (and Spa)
