Getting more comfortable with the instructor and myself, I'm trying to retain everything he said during the first lap. Absolutely slow, but learning sections of the track per lap and review.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfXdi6svAi0

Tommy,

Thanks for all the posts and tackling the Nordschliefe and learning it is a daunting task for anyone. Some of my friends in Europe comment that even after having gone quite a few times it almost feels new every visit as it is so long. Glad you are having fun and do get the Vorshlag camber plates or Cortex ones done reasonably soon, as a track focused alignment will save your tires - track focused but still good for the street so not to the max. Not sure the PS4Ss will be solid a much longer but they do eat outside edges with the factory alignment . Keep us posted and 24 sounds fun as right now things are buttoned up this tike of the year in Deutschland, ha!

Track knowledge is every with the Nordschliefe.
My first 30 laps I was just cruising around taking in the scenery. Once I started to learn it and linking it together it really is breathtaking

My friends say the same thing. 30+ laps then implement slowly your driving style for the track is unforgiving. Our season opens March 17th, can't wait to dedicate time for it. One reason I didn't chose to home this X-Mas. Playstation 5 GT7 and videos for me this holiday season since I don't have a SIM yet. I think I'll be okay, just need to get out my head.

First thing first, I need a new battery as the OEM is toast.

Think about that folks, 30 laps and since one lap is practically 13 miles long, you finally get semi - comfortable at 390 miles , ha.

Hello there TMO,

Can’t believe it’s been forever since I’ve posted. So I’ve been searching the forum looking for the different brands of transmission and diff fluids I could use in the MACH 1. Over here in Germany brands are limited for our cars. Was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction while I’m on hold with Ford Performance?

 

[Bill Pemberton]

I can't imagine you could not use Liqui Moly as it is considered one of the best brands for some very high end Auto brands, and it would be easy to get in Deutschland!

I’m sure Steeda EU could help.

I actually sent them a email.

True. Castrol seems to be plentiful out here. I just need to find Transmax Mercon V. I believe that is compatible for the 3160.

I’m sure the Mach 1 is sold in Europe so shouldn’t be an issue

Just checking up on old threads and old friends... Tommy, if you need anything purchased and shipped just let me know.

Happy Sunday everyone. Finally back in the U.S. and the car made it back a couple weeks ago. Took it to the dealer for an inspection and service before making that 9hr drive across Texas. Whew is it hot down here!

A lot to catch up on within the forum and gather my thoughts on continuing my journey. I definitely will have some questions as I see companies and prices are .

Hope you all are doing well and can’t wait to catch up with you!

El Paso is getting an International Track coming soon. Look up Pan A Speedway. I actually got picked up to be a volunteer at the track. Ground breaking starts in September. I’ll keep the group posted!

Good morning TMO,

I’m in need of some guidance as I’m about to purchase the Watson 4pt cage. I will be purchasing the Sparco Evo seats, however I’d like some knowledge on purchase the correct 4 or 6 point straps. Any help is appreciated!
