No need to get worried, I've said to the Old Man (Big E) to go mid pack this year as it gets boring at the front! We normally charge off and do not see anyone for miles!! So mid pack for us this year for some FUN!!
Not that he listens!!!!! Is everybody ready?? (Simon not included )!! |

Yes, important thing to remember to be sure you have every single piece of documentation with you, the Germans especially like this: licence, green card insurance (signed), control certificate (MOT, if applicable), grey card (log book), road tax (like the UK, doesn't have to be displayed).
Over here these, except your licence, have to be with the vehicle at all times and copies don't count (as I friend of mine found out when he showed them copy of his old paper UK licence he kept in the car, before we had cards, and got a nice fine). Basically the vehicle has to be totally legal when driven by anyone which is why our insurance is based on the car not the person. |

Oh, i need to get a move on as usual. No headlights working on Clio and needs some serious prepping for track use.

On the Saturday there is something called the rev run at the track over 100 modified cars will make it busy

Consider this there can be more than a 1000 vehicles on the nordschleife at any one time. 100 cars will not have a impact as to how busy it is.. Hope this helps.

Unless some of them are a bit dozy after a night on the beers and cause a closure
But yeah, it'll be busy whether these guys turn up or not. It'll certainly be noticeable if they all descend on the car parks at once though. |

on Sunday I will be using this phrase I suspect then..

I saw on YouTube a video where there was sleet then a bit later brilliant sunshine over the Easter weekend,
Caused a fair few crashes as well so I believe. Appeared to be mostly M3's going off the track. |
#187

|
||||
i'm taking a clio, and I guess everyone has seen how they like to crash!

That's one of the beauties about the Ring, can be sunny up at the entrance and hacking it down on the other side. Makes it interesting, especially when all the really quick RWD expensive stuff starts slowing down in the rain and you can re-overtake them with AWD

I think on one of my laps last year we had sun at the start, rain in the middle, and sun towards the end... then on the drive back to Jackie's it was sun when we left, rain as we went up into the town, and then sun as we came back down..
Its quite surreal how quickly it changes... Not to mention the epic thunderstorms we watched from the cliff edge overlooking the river...

I follow LastHumansGarage on YouTube and he gained 65/70 dents from a recent heavy hail storm over in the US. Not a pretty sight and I'm rather glad mine stays under cover for most of the time - we also get quite bad storms like that once/twice every few years.

You know the hail is bad when its ripping the leaves out of the trees!

Have a watch of this from last year, Wagon Jo co as co-pilot, but! Sunny at the start, accidents yellow flags etc etc and pissing with rain at the end of the lap! (Normal at the ring to be honest!)

As you said it was crazy, we were very lucky with the cable car as i think 5mins later it was stopped, surprising how quick that hailstorm came in and the fact i had to run
