I am Going to the Nurburgring this weekend. . . .
So it seems a lot longer ago but its been only 2 years since I went to the ring. I said I would do it again and I am. Mazie from here is coming aswell
in his own car this time.
The car has not changed much but my attitude has, I already have the sticker and T-shirt! I will do a couple of laps with Mazie but want to relax and
spectate a bit more this time. There are soo many view points and the roads are nice in that area so ill just go for a hunt and try to find them.
Weather may play more of a part this time round aswell.
Ill take lots of photos and do another report when I get back.
12 bikes and 6 cars are going including an Audi R8 (can I have a ride please Mista!)
Got my 2 cans of tyre weld, european recovery, 350 euros, a navi and double the number of pants needed for a weekend, 3! What else do I need!?!?!
Just kidding. Im quite excited so thought I would share it. Wish us all luck.

Say hello to Sabine for me
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

mmmmm yummy, got my appetite up!!!
They are small nudges compared to the off I saw last time I went. Click my link below and look at the Honda Civic, mangled!!
Not too phased really though. just feel your way around and dont go over 60-70% same as you would on a normal road. I know the track well and know
where the sneaky corners are. . . ALL OF THEM!!!!
I knew a guy that had G5 0RGY, strange.
Og and Ill say hi to Sabrina for you, last time I went she was driving one of the M5 ring Taxi cars, I dont think I would get in if she was driving

Are you driving over in the kit or trailering it?
The road trip in itself will be a good experience if you're convoying with all the others

Enjoy we did it last year wet every day threw it down as we came back just the other side of Dartford tunnel. We went around on Sunday afternoon
apparently Sunday morning is the best time as its quieter so you get more of the road. Enjoy and get your pics uploaded

driving all the way there and back. The bikes and cars go seperate till belgium due to boring roads and different ranges (fuel tank sizes). The bikes
also cruise at about 100mph, cars 70-80mph.
Belgium onwards is glorius roads so we try to stick together. We dont take the most direct route as per the navi but a route that has been found by a
few of the bikers that have been loads of times. The roads are emptier and nicer to be on.

we did the across country route added top the mileage but worth it. Our navigator planned fue stops at 100 miles due to the range of the thirstiest
motor we did 1200 miles over 5 days
