Looking forward to some great pics, I did not take any

Its been a top trip, it was good to meet everyone and I look forward to the banter being revealed over the next few days

I have a question I need you guys to answer for me, my "co-pilot" was timing my laps from 'cones' to 'exit', not bridge to gangtry with a 9.48 what should I take off?? any ideas??

Was a very sureal time, quite scary and fun all at the same time...

Yeah, I know.

I was not going to, it was all my co-pilots fault, he was doing it secretly and then I had to know and had to improve it

Shame that kit car is in the way, those 968's are stunning cars!

Hi Everyone,

Well we went but unfortunately I never actually got the chance to track any of you down! But I did see a very nice collection of Audis

, normally blasting past me

Took it all fairly easy, combination of still learning the track (mind you do you ever stop learning that one) and wanting to be able to drive the car back home. But is was a superb weekend even so. Next time I'll make sure I can track you down and say hi.

For future reference Ringhaus was superb, very friendly and VERY close location. Had dinner in Pinochios in Adenau on Sat night. Huge portions, great food, reasonable prices, very friendly. In fact when we finished it was quite late and we asked them to ring a cab. They tried but there was going to be a long delay. So they drove us home - and a very strange route, almost a straight line back to nurburg down some very small lanes including one section of gravel track!

Run to the ferry yesterday - we got the timings wrong and ended up round Brussels at rush hour (we had diverted to see what there was to see at Spa) and no matter how hard I pushed from there I couldn't regain the required time and arrived at Calais to watch our ferry leave, so we waved it off. But fortunately despite having a cheap non refundable/non changable ticket the lovely french lady just booked us straight onto the next ferry at no additional cost.

By the way if anyone has a photos of a 53 plate Moro Blue S4 avant meandering round the track I would love to see one.

Chris

I'd say about 20-25 seconds. The Cones to bridge would be well sub 10secs as it's not very far & gantry to exit all depends how quickly you were doing your cool down entry

There are nice motors, the 968CS is probable one of the all time great Porsches.....I'll ignore the jib about my amazing car
