Kudos to you, not a forgiving track from what i've been told by people who've driven it.One on my wish list, doubt it'll happen though, spare money and my reactions aren't what they once were

We did 3 laps at our own pace. Yes you can go around it like a nutter but as you say it's not a fogiving track especially if you get it wrong. Each lap was faster than the one before but still noway faster than some people were doing/attempting it. It only cost me 20Dm a lap which was about £8 a lap at the time (shows how long ago it was). I would love to go around it again at some point though. Defo a must do if you have the chance.

i have only ever rode a motorbike twice in my life and crashed twice,at very low speeds,no injuries just bruised ego.the first time was quite funny as a mate had a bike and says "do ya wanna go". i had been riding a push bike for about twenty years and when i sat on it he says to me dont use the front brake as it is very sharp and will lock up on you if you dont know what your doing,ok i say and off i go.i did not know that the back brake is not on the handlebars and did not know how to stop.had to drive it into a 25 ton pile of sand to stop. never gonna get on one again.

Done a few laps of the Nurnberg Ring. Scared the living doo dars outta me. Would love to do it again now i have more experience

I did a few laps twenty odd years ago in my then boss's automatic 3.5 litre Rover whilst working on Rock am Ring. I don't remember the year but I was there with a soon to be very famous Aussie band whose singer came to a sticky end in a Sydney hotel room. Totally buggered the car up,set the brakes on fire amongst other misdemeanors. Automatics are not ideally suited to track type activities LOL.The car had to be taken on a trailer to Bonn for repairs. To say the boss wasn't happy would be something of an understatement.

I also took a forklift around most of the Grand Prix circuit before being intercepted by a very irate German gentleman. I thought the forklift handled remarkably well all things considered.

Tell that to young people today and they won't believe you!

Cheers

Me - flying (I own a share in an aeroplane), photography, and military history. I am a twice retired biker - the first time at age 18 when I got my first serious girlfriend, and then again a couple of years ago when we moved to a house with no garage; I wasn't happy with my Triumph 955i Daytona sitting on the drive for all to see!

Not a biker but I run my Van Diemen RF86 in the Northern Formula Ford championship (Oulton Park, Anglesey and this year - Donington) I'm not that quick but enjoy it. It takes up a lot of evenings and weekends. Other than that, I like music, food and wine!

I love to fish and I also do a lot of digital photography. What occupies most of time other than building models is a 1971 Dodge Challenger and collecting comic book/movie/video game related statues and busts. They are mostly 1/5, 1/4 and 1/1 scale. Here's some pics.

1/5 Kratos

1/4 Iron Man

1/1 Predator Bio Helmet

1/1 Predator Skull and Terminator T700 bust

1/4 Thanos and Lady Death

1/5 Ghost Rider on Throne

1/4 Diablo Barbarian

1/4 Venom

1/4 Uruk-Hai Berserker

1/4 Moria Orc

1/4 Lurtz

And my Challenger. A fun summer hobby
