Just got back from the Nordschleife and it's a MUST do experience! We 'only' went around in an Alfa as the battery of the FFR Coupe (Daytona?) was kaput. But even so, just amazing, a lot of guys get hooked on the experience.

I think that was a cautious lap judging by approach and overtaking speeds (I've been in a GTD70 and I know how fast they are) That one seemed a bit tail happy. And you can only overtake on the left on public track days. Luckily that was a very quiet day - it can get crowded there, including mixing it with bikes!! I did see on British-registered car get totalled, engine and box waaay down the track and rest just scrap. For a totally commited lap, google Hans Stuck BMW GTR to see how a true Ringmeister does the job!!
