I see you blame the Caparo for closing the track and not the fact that there was a pile up which is interesting and suffice to say I don't think the Caparo either caused or was involved in a crash so maybe your anger needs to be channelled elsewhere.

heh I have no anger to vent and I think your reply is far stronger than it needed to be. As the others below your post have said - the track was not closed due to my one car being at the side of the track ("pile up" ?) and in fact due to the poor driving under flags. These are the facts of the matter.

I had a good chat with Teffers and his brother in the PK that night about some of the issues of the day; expect to see future days aimed at different target audiences eg one day for beginners, or road legal cars, no race cars, no slicks. Another day for "industry testing" and the keener drivers etc.

My brother went out in the bilstein porsche VLN car and the driver of that car said "What type of day is this????" - he couldn't work out whether this was a VLN practice session as trackday rules were going out of the window.

Ah the Nurburgring. For many reasons, its Like.No.Other.
