Vacation 2007 - Day 12

October 3


Today was 90% of the reason why I wanted to visit Germany. It was a Bank Holiday so the Nürburgring was open all day for Touristenfahrten (anyone with street legal car/bike and a ticket can drive the track), but it was a foggy and nothing was happening.

Justin and Steve, two guys from the UK. We were staying at the same B&B.

The only cars on the track were the two Ring Taxis. One lap for €185 (only €61.67/passenger) and sold out for the rest of the year.

One had a 50% chance of your taxi driver being Sabine.

Walked the parking lot saw a couple C6 Corvettes...

...but nothing beats an El Camino.

At 2:30 they closed the track, it was a holiday and they did not want to wait for the fog to lift. 4:30 and the fog has lifted, they closed the track too soon. Decided to walk part of the track.

The Karussell

Leading to Hohe Acht.

Leading to Eschbach.

Then I got off the track, good thing because they let a bus make a lap.
