Nurburgring trip pictures

[Damon]

Three of us joined an organised tour last weekend and headed down to the Nurburgring in Germany to test our cars (and our bottle). What can I say that someone hasn't said before? We were lucky in that we got 28 degree temperatures all weekend, but what an awesome place. Definitely needs treating with respect though - the physical and financial implications of getting it wrong are oh so evident! 8O A quick detour to Amsterdam contributed to over 1,300 in six days, but it was all worth it. Time to convince the other half that she'd enjoy the scenery...

Why no bike pictures? To be honest, after you've wondered amongst the huge numbers of genuine supercars it's hard to get excited about the bog standard GSXRs that you see at any bike meet!

Our group on the trip


Accomodation for the weekend in the hills


This is the sight that greeted us when we first saw the circuit!


The scenery's not bad either!


American muscle!


Nissan GT-R - everywhere you look


Weismann: not just a pretty face - it flew passed me on the track


The main car park = car porn heaven


Waiting to hit the track


GT kit car with a Corvette engine


Nice car, shame about the decals...


Little and large!


On track


Ferarri? Two a penny


The £320,000 Porsche Carerra GT. There were two in attendance and I have been passed by anything as fast as when the other left me standing when I was doing 120mph...


Trackside


Gallardo


Porsche, Ferarri, Porsche


Trackside


Dodge Vipers!


Porsche 911 GT3 RS - an even more common sight than the Nissan GT-R!


MORE Ferarris...


The brand new Audi RS5 (I didn't know it was even on the road quite yet)


And the new Merc - sounds like thunder


It got busy at times!


Ouch!
