Trip to the Nurburgring
Trip to the Nurburgring
Hi all,
Spent this past weekend (May 14/15) in Nurburg, Germany. I can sum it up best like this:
7 hour flight from Philly to London.
2 hour drive to Dover from London.
2 hour ferry from Dover to Calais.
5 hour drive from Calais to Nurburg
= the most amazing, unforgettable, incredible 32min 45.12 seconds of my life.
I will never, ever forget this place. I was speaking to a guy on the ferry from Dover and he was saying that he had taken just one lap of the Ring when he was my age (I'm 25, he's 64) and to this day he still remembers almost every turn, every sensation. This Track is just simply amazing, as are the cars I saw there. The only thing missing was my Evo (company wouldn't pay to bring her over...hehe). So I had to drive a rented RHD Vauxhaull Astra 1.8.
here are the pics, enjoy boys

If anyone ever gets a chance to go, DO NOT PASS IT UP. the drive to the track is beautiful, the people are nice and the track....well, it's pure bliss on asphalt.

Sooooo 
I was lucky enough to go last year and it is even more amazing than you can imagine, the scale is crazy it just goes and goes and it is nutty fast with very little run-off in most places (prepare to be intimidated, they don't call it "The Green Hell" for nothing!). A must drive for any driving enthusiast.
If you don't have one yet get a copy of GT4 for the PS2. they have a very accurate map of The Ring (only a few bumps are different AFAICT). Awsome fun too with the added bonus of a reset button

Man thats my Favorite Track in the world. I know it like the back of my hand. Done it in 8:32 On GT4 with my EVO VIII MR. I just wish i could take my actual EVO 2 that track that would be a dream. Doubt 8 mins will be done with my actual car see that i do want to bring my car home in one piece.
