Just a note on dates

The weekend you have chosen to be at Nurburgring is actually one of the busiest weekends as it is the Old Timers Grandprix weekend.

OTGP is a fantastic event Birdcage Bugatti's through to 1980 F1 plus classic cars to die for, also MINI racing. Racing is on both GP (all weekend) and the Old circuit (Thursday and Friday).

There are thousands of spectators in all sorts of cars

I did this last year - brilliant

BUT - The Ring was a nightmare, too busy with all 3 entrance barriers plus the on circuit barrier letting people on as fast as the barriers could rise and fall. Not the ideal time for your first trip to the ring. You have spectators and race drivers all trying to do the same thing and speed differential is massive - not to mention skill level.

I may be at the OTGP with friends from Sweden - I will let you know so we could meet up.

In Italy
