Nordschleife 4/5/6/7th Oct - anyone?

Pip1968 · 27-08-2013, 03:32 PM

The Nordschleife appears to be open all day for these four days, Friday to Monday inclusive.

Is anyone going across? I am travelling across on Thursday and back on Tuesday (P&O).

I will only do the closed track days now, as it's just started to get a bit gun-ho on TF days over the last few years. The track seems to spend more time shut than open and I don't like mixing with the bikes, as I'd hate to be responsible for one falling off and dying

Unfortunately someone I knew really well lost his life due to a hose on a Porsche splitting and dumping coolant on the track

. It's scary how something so relatively minor can then lead to such a devastating loss, so I'd hate to have that on my conscience
