My first visit and drive of the Nordschleife
« on: 15 October 2008, 01:15 »
Visited the Nurburgring last sunday for the first time. Couldn't resist taking it out for one lap. Was very busy however due to the good weather, so many closures due to accidents, and subsequently little spread of the traffic over the ring. We had to wait for almost two hours before we could enter the Ring. One lap was enough for the first time  :shocked:


View form the terrace where we had some coffee


The view from Breidscheid viewpoint


You can just see the Ring Taxi


Lotus Europa after meeting the armco


Porsche Carrera GT


Waiting to get on the track



Nearly there, just this roundabout with cars entering from three sides but only leaving at one..


Entering the Ring (back of the line closest to the camera)


On the Ring



A pic I found on one of the many Ring pic sites (chickening out on the outside of the  Karusell (td))


And leaving again, in the background


Beautiful fall colors

Excellent! You really got the atmosphere of it across much better and more simply than most other forum reports on The 'Ring I've seen :afro:
