3 days at the nurburgring

[Towmaster]

Well I have just spent 2 full days at the ring and what a track. They had an old timers event here over the weekend, heaps of mg's Ferrari's the odd cobra etc. pretty cool!
I rented an M3 from Frankfurt and headed out on the autobahn.. These guys are crazy, I was following a Mazda CX-7 for a couple of k's doing around $1.80, couldn't believe it, most people cruise on around $1.60. I finally got a bit of a break on an unrestricted section & saw $2.33 before an idiot pulled out in front of me.....
On the track I rented a megane R26 R from RSR Nurburgring, awesome little factory built track car, drove just like a rear driver. I did 5 laps in pretty heavy traffic yesterday and another 5 laps today. I videoed the 5 laps today (very frowned upon!) which I will try & put on YouTube under another name a big later. Did a best of 9min 9 sec bridge to bridge. Not too bad considering 2 yellow sections on the track all day. Every lap I saw an accident, dangerous place if you don't know what you're doing of u get ur ambitions & capabilities mixed up.
I would totally recommend anyone remotely interested on racing to come over & drive a few laps. For anyone who has done Bathurst, imagine the top of the mountain but 21 k long and an elevation change of 300 m.
I am driving the lesser known southern loop tomorrow, it is just as good but just a regular road. I will report more later.
