Well I drove to the Nurnburgring yesterday and did four laps. WOW what a experience and wake up call. I have no driving skills! but had a blast. There were several wrecks and a few blown engine. I met a guy from Belgium with a nice 2011 Camaro I believe SLP ZL585 it was a special edition supercharged. He offered to take me on a lap in his car.That was one hell of a experience he has been driving the track for like 20 years and knew every turn. I thought for sure a few times he was pushing it a little to hard and we would end up wrecking but that didn't happen.
Here are a few pics and a video of my last lap. He had me follow him to help show me some of the lines. Even with him slowing down and waiting for me I could barely keep up LOL.
So next on this list is Hockenhiemring for driving school.

Another thing I learned is that I need to clean my car out and put all my stuff in a bag and tie it down. Thats my other camera, coffee cup, gps, and jacket flying around the car as I drive.

You definitely had a blast. Very few actually get to drive the Ring. Was it more fun to drive the track, or ride in the Camaro with someone else driving...on the edge.
