Panda 100HP chasing after a Civic Type R - Nürburgring nordschleife - 18.08.2024

Second time to the ring in my 100HP. 2100 km including 8 BTG laps, and not a beat missed 😍
(I did manage to break my coolant resevoir, but that was just me being a clown)

Not the best start to the lap, and I was quite unlucky with the traffic, especially at the fox hole. But by 4:40 on the laptimer, when the second Porsche race taxi overtakes me, it gets better though; a FN2 Civic Type R appeared in my mirrors, and I got on a mission to make it stay behind, which ofcourse didn't happen, but I chased after him, and managed to almost catch up again before the gantry - dude I almost had you! lol.

Out of the 8 laps I did, I got this one, yes this ONE lap without yellow flags. The amount of cars on the ring is getting ridiculous and there are queues to get on track from every direction. The cars are getting more and more powerful and a lot of people drive them over their capability, so naturally a lot of crashes happen. On top of that, the owners of the ring have decided to stop showing the amount of cars on track on the billboards by the parking lot, and they indicate the tracks as green (clear) even though there are multiple yellows ...

The car:
2007 Fiat Panda 100HP 1.4 16v with 253.000 km, but still going strong.
ESP system disabled with a sneaky switch - feel free to ask!
Tyres are 195/50r15 Kumho KH52's - semi budget strret tire, but better than the 7 year old eco tyres I drove last time!

Camera setup:
Main camera: LG V40 107* wide angle lens on homemade wooden mount on 3 chassis points.
Rear camera: Nedis N-go (acam41bk) 140 degree lens
Foot camera: Sony AZ-1 Action cam 170* lens.
Speedo cam: Agfaphoto AC5000 - will be replaced.
