Why don't you join Mitch.

Have you decorated your Merc with a Ring sticker?

I've done one of those racing driver courses at Zandvoort and concluded I'm just too crap to even attempt the Ring. I like being alive.

Just take it easy and enjoy the opportunity to use the full acceleration of your barge.

It's a great feeling, being on the edge. Before I was a conman....I mean agent....I used to race Karts, so I like to think I know what I'm doing in most high speed driving situations. I don't drive an especially fast car (Honda S2000) - fast enough to have fun in, but it's not a ferrari or owt.... Yet the sheer speed at which solid concrete, and re-inforced metal comes flying past you, absolutely scared me sideways - especially as I'd only had the car a couple of months.

That is a circuit which demands the UPMOST respect - it's twisty, it's complicated, and it's tricky with negative and positive cambers all around.

My advice would be to drive WELL within your limits for a few laps - get used to a small section, and drive hard on that, and back off when you've finished that section.

You will never learn the whole circuit in a weekend (or perhaps a year!!)

Nice post. However, it's "UTMOST".

I agree with all of that.

I was there 3 times last year.

I love the place and treat it with a lot of respect.

Usually I look more in my rear view mirror to let faster guys pass then I look out front. Almost. You know what I mean.

My super charged Z needs to be used properly once in a while - else it grows cobwebs.

Nope, Münster. Quietened down a bit now but still looks like tulipe outside

Sounds like a Ruhr deal.

There is no way in a million years that I would put a sticker on my car saying 'Last week I drove the ring'.

It was bad enough falling out of bed and hurting my knee, without advertising the fact to the entire autobahn

Not only has a stinking cold just come on but its decided to chuck it down with poxy snow (and I've got slippery shoes on as well.) Flipping flip flip.

Shouldn't that be:
