@olly, you will never find all the pics! :lol:

When we were there we stayed in the Dorint Hotel, its on the GP start finish line, there are cars, bikes and racing trucks allover the hotel, the bar had a beetle engine in it :lol:

The indoor karting track in the hotel grounds was an added bonus.

 

On the subject of mk1's the blue roma tuning 16v g60 mk1 was there when i was there, it sounded awesome, he trailered it down and gioes quite regularly, i think he owns roma tuning.

 

The bikers are nuts, mainly uk bikers seem to come off the germans dont go so hard(i will be slated for that), i was passed by one going into a sieres of high speed s's and 1/4 of a mile up the road both himself and his bike were in the barrier, he was ok but the bike was far from it!

The crashes are what make you think, its not a place to take risks, you go off adn its gonna hurt!

Plus you have to pay to have your car removed from the track and also to have the armco fixed if you hit it! :lol:

Crazy Germans

yeah 180 euros for a tow, and 300 euros per section of barrier thats only about 3m long,,,

[rmn 0]

Thats it :lol:

and you would be luckey to hit just one section

[CoxyLaad 0]

ouch - how much of a p1sser must it be that for the section of barrier that you ploughed through with your head has to be repaired at your cost lol

 

I would be dragging my bike 20meters down the track, and claiming I never hit nowt :lol:
