The 'Nurburgring or Bust' Tour 2006 - Day 3

It's official, driving the Nurbugring is one of the maddest experiences of my life to date! For a start, everyone else on the circuit is nuts, whether they're in a Porsche 911 Turbo or a stripped out 1980's VW Golf they'll be on the ragged edge at every corner. Then you have the Ring Taxis which offer the public a hot lap driven by a professional in BMW M5. Nothing wrong with that you might think, but there is when they overtake you, on the outside of a sweeping righthander, effortlessly drifting the car while you're struggling, just to make it round in one piece!

Anyway, it's been a blast, we are still in one piece and after another 300 miles we're in Belgium enjoying a beer :-)

Here's today's picture diary...
