What's this. An event held by BMW fans and a BMW didn't come in any of the top four places.:bigeyes:

Gustav must be getting soft in his old age.:hihi:

Since we started this at Lunda airfield 3 years ago I have seen it as my task to find the best competitors for the M cars :hihi:

Here's my post from m5board.com

Hi!

We're very happy with the results of the event. :deal:
Thanks a lot to Gustav et al!
For you who don't know me I'm Erik B and run www.RUF.se together with my collegue.

It was very close call we didn't get to the event at all.
My collegue picked up the R Turbo down in Pfaffenhausen on friday and started driving north. Unfortunately he had a puncture at 310 km/h on the Autobahn but fortunately he managed to save not only himself but the car.
Only the rubber suffered and the rim was ok as well.
While he was driving on the spare tire (good thing to have sometimes...) I started looking for a replacement and managed to get one with the help of our mechanic Magnus and kees. Thank you very much for your support! :thumbsup:
Talk about frustrating, a 650 hp car and a spare tire with V Max 80 km/h... :crying:
Anyway, as you can see the car + new tire arrived in the morning.

I know the question will be raised. No it wasn't a Pirelli tire that blew up, but a Michelin. We've been told we should send it to the German TÜV, any comments?

The specifications on the R Turbo is a mixture of RUF Pfaffenhausen and our local ideas that we have developed over the years ;)
And apparently it seems to have worked out pretty well.
The car has a Ruf 650 hp kit (Rt12), R Turbo IC air inlets, IRC Integrated Roll Cage, Quaife diff and a different gearing.
I am sure I forgot something, but the car isn't 100% finished either.
For starters it will get the Ruf aerokit.

The Carrera GT had ~>290 km/h on the speedo.
The RUF R Turbo had ~320 km/h. Someone reported 323 km/h on one of the runs.


Some of my pics. I didn't have the gtboard.com logo but if Gustav can send it to me I will be happy to add it on my next run of pics.

Friday Night Special, some secret training until Hell's unleashed on Saturday morning. I had a ride in the Rt12 in the evening. God! :oh: So much power and torque! The owner goes to get some gas and calls me about 10 mins later "we have a flat tire..." Spent friday evening chasing solutions to this problem and on saturday morning we were rolling again. But the tire was a bit too damaged to make any repeated top speed runs :(
Anyone who wants to sell 325/30/19" in Europe please pm?

Ruf R Turbo 650 vs. Ruf Rt12

As you can see the R Turbo takes the start, and keeps the distance thru the run.

Note the air inlets for the IC. The R Turbo also has the IRC Integrated Roll Cage.

Next time I'd really like to see the RUF R Kompressor perform, it's actually quite quick but I'd like to see how it measures among this competition.

Thanks for reading!
