Today the the Nürburgring Nordschleife officially begins the 24-hour weekend. Even though the most committed fans, campers and party-goers have been here for nearly a week already! To celebrate this I have another beautiful bit of video-artwork from Tim Hahne. It sets the scene beautifully as BMW, Audi, Porsche and Mercedes all go toe-to-toe for a 'home' win at the German endurance race of the year.

This is the sight greeting those lucky drivers attending the 24-hour Rookie Training this morning at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Hard to believe that yesterday afternoon this was just a hole in the ground. German efficiency at work!

I'm not an expert on road surfacing and maintenance, but I'd be interested to see who is. This is the scene at Wehrseifen *right now*....

As I talked about before, the English insurance situation at the Nürburgring is not getting any better. As such I've sold one Mazda (my MX-5 turbo), and bought another one (RX-8). The reason being that the RX-8 would be easier to put on German plates. The photo above might actually be the last one taken with UK plates on, as the deed is done, and this is how I did it.
