First Nürburgring trip 2015

[Mike@DedicatedPerfection]

Today was a pretty nice day here in Germany for February and decided to take a trip to the infamous Nürburgring to see what was going on. Well not much actually. Everything was closed including the track. Anyways got a few pictures and wanted to share. Still a bit of snow on the ground up there but nevertheless it made for some nice pictures.

Cant wait until it warms up and the track opens. Tentatively opens on the 15th of March

This is walking back to the car. On the left side is the main straight on the track.

The Nürburg Castle off in the distance

I would love to drive those as well. Did you know that here you can drive the Südschleife (South Loop) Formula one circuit? One day this year I will get on it.

I also would like to get over to Belgium and drive Spa.

Very cool! I'd love to visit some day!

Thanks!

Thanks for the pictures. Beautiful place. Make sure you have your GoPro for video when you go back and run the track.

I hope to be heading there mid April! Got some new strut and shocks light weight radiator support and just ordered a aluminum driveshaft. All the weight savings and better struts and shocks I will feel better about my cars handling. Might try to hit up hockenhiemring before to get some twistes seat time. Let me know when you head back out.

Sounds good! Keep me updated. I will be up there opening day.

Oh nice. Those improvements will surely make a noticeable improvement. I suppose you have high performance summer only tires as well correct?

They should leave it open during the winter for rally cars.

That looks like a fun car to take for a spin around The Ring!

Those pics can explain why some racers turns into snowboarders / skiers eventually? This view sure inspires velocity!

Thanks a lot for sharing the pics, and please, let us updated when you be there.

Kind Regards.
