We re going to nurburgring

**Scott_in_fl** · 08-23-2017

Yep, Flatout flew out yesterday around noon EST. Which probably means the rest of the team was out there a couple of days ago. With today being Wednesday, the runs are likely coming today or tomorrow as I have to imagine that Friday, Sat, Sun are busy public days.

Follow Flatout on Instagram as that is probably the best way to get current info. Bridge to Gantry is also good to follow as he was updating quite a bit last time.

Per other sources looks like they have 2 hours tomorrow. Hope for good weather.

**stradman** · 08-24-2017

Well I figure they have to do run tomorrow as the weekend and next week is taken up by private track days- I'm there with my ACR-E on Monday and Tuesday for those..

**ViperSRT** · 08-24-2017

Forecast for tomorrow looks pretty favorable. Time to get it done.

Noice...The Snake gets to run against a Chiron too. Great company its keeping with the likes of the Chiron, GT2 RS and Performante atop the Ring fastest lap list. What ever it does it will likely be the fastest bone stock rwd, manual and NA car in the world. I think we will all be surprised with the time in a good way.

From Facebook:

Hi Everyone, we're here at The Ring and doing everything possible to make the Viper Nation proud. The weather was good today and we were surprised with a free lap from the great folks who run The Ring. Earlier in the day we lost one of the cars again as its differential overheated. We feel that this is the same problem that occurred before that made the seal leak. We didn't want to blow the seal out again, so we sent the car back to the garage for a replacement differential. Hopefully, Dodge will warranty the other one. Good thing we had a spare (actually had 2). It was Dominik Farnbacher's car that had the funky diff so we kept Mario Farnbacher on-track to get used to his car. At the end of the day we were given the lap and in Mario's FIRST lap alone on the track, he turned a 7:03. Remarkably, this is the same time that Dominik turned several weeks ago. Both cars are getting serviced tonight and will be back for an 8AM lap tomorrow morning and then 2 hours between 1:30 - 3:30PM. This is when we need the great weather. I'll have another update for you tomorrow and Bernie sends his love. We're all working hard and neither Bernie nor I could have done this without the help of a dozen other dedicated people who are really humping to make this happen. Thanks everyone.

Seem to be having differential problems with one car.......I wonder how many other people have experienced this on track. We know that the diffs benefit from an oil cooler.Should have had it standard on a track focused car such as this really.....

Seems like the diff on the Gen V is a pile of crap. Several people had it replaced under warranty because it was bad from the get go.
Mine has been replaced after 600 miles and it still whines a bit. Now I'm just waiting that it blows up to get it changed again... if I have one grippe against this car that'd be the diff.

**ACRSNK** · 08-24-2017

Wow!....Can't wait to see what they will pull off. Hope the cars can remain healthy enough to destroy the ring.

With an all male crew over there, I'm really hoping they cut out any of this video from a "behind the scenes" documentary about how the Viper made its record run

**stradman** · 08-24-2017

Unfortunately weather tomorrow may be changeable and may get some showers. Cross our fingers their window is dry.....

Are there any other diffs to put on apart from the oem one?

**Track Pack** · 08-24-2017

Exciting stuff, hoping for the record!

**SSGNRDZ_28** · 08-24-2017

I guess I'd give the diff and any other part failures the benefit of the doubt - the cars have been broken in on the ring instead of the recommended procedures. Not to say there aren't issues.

Looks like up to 40% chance of rain during the time they are scheduled to run... Hope they get a bit better luck this time.

**Red Snake** · 08-24-2017

Better go for the kill on the morning lap. Lots of coffee in the morning lol.

**Fatboy 18** · 08-25-2017

For Sale: Used Ring car, comes with interior Roll cage mods, Worn Hubs and Diff, And the odd scratch here and there! Tires worn.
.......Offers

**Stealth78** · 08-25-2017

The fact that they are hoping Dodge will warranty the differential has me scratching my head. They are making world wide public information that they are on the Ring. Haven't other people been denied warranty due to being on track...? Otherwise GO TEAM! I pray their window of opportunity is dry!

**SSGNRDZ_28** · 08-25-2017

They are running... weather is good for now.

On the contrary, this is also good reason to back up their product being used where it was meant to be used for.... so IMO Dodge should "goodwill it" and honor that warranty.
