Now that that's all out of my system - shouldn't the black hole be forming where the particles are being collided (ie the center of the hole is on or close to the circumference of the ring) rather than in the middle of the ring, which I'm pretty sure is just plain old non-space-time warping dirt.

Oh yes:
