Nurburgring - Cherry Popped

I ended up on the trip due to a mate having an unfortunate incident with his M3 and offering me his place, so i never looked into the numbers etc. However i did hear complaints from some other people that the day was mis-sold in terms of numbers. We registered on the morning, before 7am and got 196 through 198 for our cars, so i would suggest that there were 250ish cars there.

Personally i didn't find it an issue, and it was a lot better than the TF on the SUnday, but there were people overtaking without consent and being generally knobbish, but there were also a lot of people not giving consent for overtakes which became a little annoying. 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other in my book really and both were in the wrong. Any passing in the bends was out of order unless consent was given.

There were lots of different cars there, but that was part of the fun in my view. Being my first time, i would have rathered not have the race cars, but frankly they know how to pass people.

As i've said, overall it was a very positive experience. Titan, shame i didn't know who you were, we were the rather noisy rabble sat at the bar table in the PK on the Monday night trying to persuade one of our gang to chat up the Albanian bar maid!
