We had a mega trip in August-September to the Ring. Some guys stayed in our rented villa for weeks! Excellent time and excellent driving once again.
That place is like magic.
Niko’s and Toni’s amazing pics can be found from the gallery.

In addition to normal pics we can show some from the Nürburging Industry Pool where automotive companies test their products.
R8 Roadster and the 4-door Aston were interesting. As well as some Porsches!
Testing can be fun to look at because there happens some “racing” all the time..

The Swedes had booked two rather different circuits called Ahvenisto and Alastaro.

The RingRunners boss Tomas had once again arranged excellent excitement and entertainment!

The track season of 2008 has finally started!
Our first track event was held in Alastaro Circuit, a great track for the season opening.
The beginning is always thrilling. Now it was even more so, because many of the carfreaks had new rides. The expressions and comments after some laps were very cheerful. Congratulations guys, leave a reply to tell something =)

Last Saturday I had an opportunity to join our good friends at MotorStars Oy Ltd at their first test of the all new Honda Challenge 2008 car at the Alastaro racetrack here in Finland. I had been following their progress of building the car for some time now at my visits to their shop and the quality and parts they have put into the new car is simply amazing.

It all began as my idea of a mobile phone based lap timing software. Using GPS is nothing new in the lap timing business, but what made the idea exciting to many, was the possibility to use a commonly available smart phone together with a cheap Bluetooth GPS instead of expensive purpose made hardware. I made a proof-of-concept in a few weeks, which inspired a few other Carfreaks and quite soon RaceChrono was born.
About a month ago, after several hundreds of hours of work, extensive testing and many laps driven, we finally felt that our project was ready enough to go public.

Some time ago I heard that another Scandinavian group known from the Nürburging, the Swedish RingRunners was planning a trip to visit some Finnish tracks. I immediately thought that we should join if possible!
