Heico Video Nürburgring...

Hopefully not a repost.... I thought it was a pretty cool video.

dbh86 · 11-06-2009, 04:57 PM

That's a very well produced video.

RAD! Thanks Cam

There is a Heico badged Volvo I see on my way to school, I assumed it was a tuning company but never looked it up.

I think a few of the volvo dealers sell Heico stuff here, but mostly on the styling side of things as far as I know. My local volvo dealer here is a Heico dealer at least.

Very cool video. Wow! Kinda makes me want a C30!

Yup - they make some really nice stuff. Expensive stuff, but really nice. They also have a killer 242 group a replica they built.

Edit: Here's their 242

Thaaaaaaaaat was awesome.

The Full Banana · 11-06-2009, 06:03 PM

Wow. Awesome video.

BoostedSwede · 11-06-2009, 06:17 PM

Someday....someday I will be doing that kind of racing. I need to. I used to race go karts at an amateur level, and I miss it way too much. Someday.....

olov · 11-06-2009, 06:30 PM

very cool, glad they paid homage to the 240 and the 850

agreed. I would have been a little disappointed had they not mentioned the 240.

blkaplan · 11-06-2009, 07:01 PM

great production quality but was a bit disappointed about the shortage of content from the actual race.

seemed like maybe 40 seconds of footage was actual race footage with the c30 in it?

I agree - I would have liked to see more actual race footage. However I still appreciate the video none the less

That was coooooooooool. I yearn for the day I get to travel around Europe.

MikeSr. · 11-06-2009, 07:45 PM

Heico makes some great Volvo racecars. Love that C30

Homer · 11-06-2009, 08:01 PM

Man thats a punishing track to drive 24 hrs on. I can't imagine it at night.

blackice280zxt · 11-06-2009, 08:12 PM

I love the vid!

dl242gt · 11-07-2009, 05:34 AM

Don't know where the link is but someone posted Nurburgring video of the Group A replica racer awhile ago.

itb-volvo · 11-07-2009, 06:08 AM

If we had some video like that of the 24hr race we ran last weekend it would of been more exiting to watch for sure.

More Nurburgring driving, now with a 240, the 2005 Youngtimer Trophy, driver Martin Müller.

part 1:

(nice Porsche sound in the beginning)

part 2:

Same event, was on tv this:

I have an article about that car somewhere. it is a grp A replica but without the center lock wheels etc, pretty mild suspension, running on Polaris wheels, B23ET iirc. Not as extreme as the original i think.

stuff: http://www.heicosportiv.de/mainframe...136&newsid=223

cool track, really demanding, very tricky. when the weather is not stable you have fog on one stretch, wet track 2 minutes later, dry track etc, makes driving there very hard.
