best way to learn the 'ring (apart from driving it lots of times is to watch some videos - see http://www.joerundseim.com/en/multim....php?viewCat=2 watch repeatedly and go wow a lot especially the r500.....

Mark

P.S. also see http://www.nurburgring.org.uk

Thumbs up FABULOUS!

What a fantastic weekend,

great weather, awesome track, amazing cars, great driving - would do it again most definately.

I also have the xbox to thank, if only to know which way the track went over flat crests. In reality the elevation changes and compressions can never be simulated and everything seemed much more immediate to what i was expecting.

My wheezing sport was great everywhere except on the long uphill drag halfway round the lap - i even had time to turn on, tune in and listen to the radio! other than that i was keeping up with some 911's and passing a few bikes which is all i wanted to achieve, car never missed a beat.

Met Austen and who kindly took me out for a lap (cheers again) - a good time to go in a new age impreza turbo for the first time! Also had a insane lap in a flourescent caterham from one of the guys in our group then took him out in mine and laughed all the way round - then again i did use the handbrake at least 6 times to counter the understeer on turn in!

so, count me in for next for def, should be in a better car by then...
