Just thought I would drop you all a few lines about my recent trip to the Nurburgring ;D

I was out there for a week and managed to do about 25 laps, a track day at the GP circuit (Only£50) and some great road miles on the excellent German roads in that area.

The first lap was the scariest thing I have ever done!, the cars are so fast, a mini van past me within 100yds of the start. I found out later it was a bit trick.

I managed to get a CD of my 10th lap at just over 10 mins, with the best lap being slightly under 10mins. I was told you need at least 50 laps in before you can claim to know the track. Lots of long fast straights, blind crests and tight bends and fast cars to contend with.

Stayed at Sliders Guest House which I can definately recommend. If you haven't been, it's somthing to add to the list.
