Nurburgring/DN7 at Easter
Hey,
Is anyone from here going to the 'Ring over the Easter break or doing the DN7 track days?
I'll be there with the Spec C, always good to see other Impreza's

Good man, maybe I can blag a passenger lap in the R205
I'm toying with the idea of doing Spa on the 1st April but can't decide

Take some winter/snow tyres. I went in 2008 and it was snowing the whole weekend at the ring. Was epic fun though around the town of Cockem as its in a valley and had switchback passes.

Was just about to, but supacool has just put me off!
Didn't think it would be snowy in Germany at that time of the year!

That was 2008 mate, we've had 5 years of global warming since then
Seriously though, I'm sure it will be fine
DN do have a policy for cancelled events.

GT5's not bad for corner sequence but obviously no substitute for the real thing
Worth watching a few onboard YouTube laps too

The company that owned/operated it did yes in July 2012 but it's since been taken over and the actual Nurburgring opening times to the public have been largely unaffected.
Business as usual for 2013
