Small word of advice re: Nurburgtrip
#1
Not trying to poop any parties, but a small warning: please do your driving as much as possible on the Friday or the Monday, as Saturday & Sunday is going to be hell If that's not possible, try to be there early when it opens, or drive after 4 pm on Sat&Sun.
I went to the Ring yesterday, thinking I'd have a headstart ( ) but apparently I was not the only one having that idea ... the Ring was even busier than last August ! To give you an idea, the whole of the Brünnchen parking lot was full, and cars were parked both sides from Brunnchen all the way up to the main road. It took me 35 minutes to get from the Dottinger start/finish carpark to Brunnchen.
When I arrived, the Ring was closed for about an hour (accident), and when I was filming at Pflantzgarten I saw the security car go by at least 4 times in one hour.
So again, not meant as a downer, but try to remember : driving on Friday, Alka Seltzer on Sat & Sunday
I better stop here, otherwise this is gonna look like a novel (Hi JF )

Theo,
You are definitely onto something here. It is also the Porsche GT weekend over Easter, so there will be hundreds of cars descending on the Ring at this time.
Now this is a good thing and a bad thing, so let's play whilst they are all still at work!

Sure will Jase ! Probably on Sundaynight if that can be arranged. Colin Berry hates me though after the last Belgian meet, and Harj hates me anyway so I'm not sure if I'm gonna be welcome .
Oh and before anybody gets smart :
>>It took me 35 minutes to get from the Dottinger start/finish carpark to Brunnchen.
That was using the *access* roads, not the track (everyone knows it would only take me about 20 minutes via the track )
