Nurburgring Safety Vid
wildthing:
just came back from the ring, rode round on monday evening.
probably one of the scariest things i have ever done! but also one of the best.....
stevoZX10:
i went last year & stayed with 'THE BARON'
went on my own as m8 let me down,did'nt regret it as theres so many english people over there who know what they're doing & really look after you
i done approx 50 laps
come off track once(1st lap!!)
ran out of petrol outside circuit
best lap was when a chap in a porsche gt3 asked me to stick to his tail for a full lap as i had a bullet camera to film him with
best 13 miles of my life,everyone should do it :icon_thumright:
Wheeltrax:
Still got some dates left for a group this year. Failing that I can put together a package for you in 2009 with dates to suit you guys.
Theres nothing wrong with doing the Ring "off your own bat" but , believe me, it helps to have some back up handy. Ask the Guy who broke 2 vertibrae last year. I sorted out everything for him.

The ring is an excelent track/road, I would suggest that everyone have a go at some point. I live in amsterdam so its only a 3 hour drive for us to get down there so do so fairly regularly.
There are lots of horror stories and the official death toll is way off, they only include the people pronounced dead at the track and not those that manage to leave in an ambulance.
That being said, there is no reason to crash on hte nordschliefe there are marks on the road on almost every corner to tell you where to turn in and where the apex is as well as signs telling you the dangerous corners for bikes. So provided you are not pushing the envelope too much you should be fine.
Always be on the look out for crashes tho cause crashes usually = oil and i have seen enough people crash due to this.
There are a lot of retards in cars and some on bikes, if someone is driving like a psycho jsut behind you i suggest you let them past, theres a good chance you will see them in the barrier in a couple of corners. It sucks tho cause u pay 16 euros per lap and one fooker can ruin it for you. I was stuck behind a renault clio with 5 guys in it, i had my wife on the back and he was swerving all over the place to stop me passing so had to find a nice streight to blip past him - DONT GET FRUSTRATED!!!!
most of all - and i understand saying this on a 10r board is moot - Dont be a spastic or you will end up one
Drive with these things in account and you wont crash, i have done 250 - 300 laps and not crashed yet and i am not exactly hanging around
iceman:
I want to go....could this be a Mega zx10 site track event next year??? :dontknow: :hello2:
