Yo ho ho.
There's a late entry in the 'Going to Nurburgring' steeplechase.
Vegas has kindly offered me the spare seat in his boot by the spare wheel, so I'm going tooooooooooo.
About time I put my 'O' level grade C in German to good use.

I admit to being very jealous of you lot going. This has always been one of those "must see" races for me, its been a life-long ambition to see a race (and do a few laps) around the Nordschleife. It remains the ultimate racing circuit. I watched a dvd of the '73 German GP not long ago, it takes your breath away.

I'm really excited by the prospect. The interesting bit for me, is that with all that track, I don't genuinely believe that a race driver would be able to learn it confidently in one weekend - especially when track time is shared, and alot of these drivers aren't regular racers. It seems to me that it'll be the naturally quick, not the ones who have the best telemetry who end up being the best to watch...... I can't wait!!!
Fax....why not join us? We will be drinking in the (hopefully) sun, cooking large dead animals on a BBQ, and watching cars...how could you ever resist??

A lot of the drivers have had a lot of practice on the Nordschliefe through taking part in the VLN series. Granted, there are also many drivers who are making their first appearance and it must be a steep learning curve! There are sections of track where you can watch 5 cars come through and see 5 different lines, Wipperman and Wehrseifen for example. Once the race gets going there are huge speed differentials and some very ballsy overtakes!

I'm almost sorry I'm going to a festival guys!
If I stay sober there, it's a 3 hour drive during the night from there to Nürburg......
Tempting!
Ok, spoke to shorty about it, looks like she's up to this also. Then the only thing I need is someone to take my tent up there in advance and to pitch it for me, as I'll be stralling in around 1 am on saturday then! |

Seriously tempted as I can't get to LM this year.
Has it been decided where everyone is going to stay? Probably going to get there on Thursday afternoon, so maybe not too much choice by that time.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

I'll be sleeping in the van, but don't mind bringing & putting up a tent for you. Guess logisticly seen, I am the most logic person to give it to anyway... |
