Well I just thought I would add to my original post to say I got to the Nordschleife Saturday night and went on track Sunday 31st and Monday 1st. Both days were incredibly busy particularly Sunday but Monday also as the GP track was opened as part of the Touristfahrt.
I took the 996 GT3 which was a first for me and managed to spin it on the the GP track and get into the gravel on another lap. Thank goodness for the run off. Nothing quite like going in too fast and blind to any of the track (I never watch F1). I had a sketch map on the dash but it was that busy with other cars and I did not have a clue on the braking or turn in points. Stupid I know but that is the luxury you have on a GP track I suppose. :whistle:
A fabulous two days either way and plenty of CSLs there both German and French. Not a British CSL in sight.
Quite a few prangs in the usual spots: by the F1 intersection, Schwedenkreuz, after Kallenhard, Kesselchen, Hohe Acht and a massive spill by a Porsche all along Brunnchen and onwards.
Happy days.
