Man....... I have driven the S2000 everyday the last week top down. The TT-RS has seen no seat time.

I haven't driven mine with the top up yet so I have no idea what thats like.  Put another 482kms on it today.   :skid:

Was parked for the walk and did not want any bird poop. If I was a bird I would be dropping bombs like it was WWII on that.

Pretty cool video of a stock S2000 owning an M4 at the Ring.  M4 walks away from it on the straights, but the S2000 kills it in the corners.  Strange that the passenger is not wearing a helmet, but makes for some interesting expressions.  ;D

Don't think its his first time around the track. Loved the oversteer.

Yup, no surprise there and just about everybody blows by the Porsche Turbo looking thing that is dawdling down the track. ;D Would be neat to have a little more context, but still cool to see what the capabilities are of a car that I actually own despite the fact I'll never get, or even want to try it myself at this point.

S2K driver is pretty good - has the car at it's limits quite often, maybe a bit past them - !  The course favours powerful cars, but the Honda acquits itself well nonetheless.

There's another video with same driver and different passenger with a little more sense as he's actually wearing a helmet, but there is much more traffic including a generic looking suv - Mitsubishi possibly. Not sure why someone would even want to run an suv on the Ring, but to each his own I guess  :-\

It's actually a commuter road.  You see UPS trucks on there as well.

That's technically true, but practically its a track. Most Germans dont even know its a public road. If you see UPS trucks, I'm sure that the toll was paid by the driver and his employer doesn't know. Also, only some traffic laws apply (which most people would mistake for track day rules) and all German insurance policies are not valid on the ring.

(How would I know anything about it? I grew up fairly close to the ring)
