We left this morning for Germany. It rained the whole way from Cairnryan to Carlisle and most of the A1 was 50mph due to roadworks. Driving on the mainland is grim.
Just on the ferry now to Rotterdam and I can guess that this will be the only time I'll be in front of a GTR all weekend.

Now you know better than to dismiss anything there, especially if it looks like it doesn't belong as that normally indicates it's got 500 hp slicks and owned by some weirdo who lives there
K series metro with individualised suspension. It would be great fun I bet!
There was a berlingo van there last time which could boogey!!
What hotel is that you guys are in?
I'm staying in Hotel an der Nordscheife if anyone's ever been?
Haha yep. That was me. Good to meet you earlier @Marc
How are you guys finding it?
I've no mobile reception at all here other than at the track.
We arrived in Adenau yesterday afternoon and got a run out last night before the track closed for the night. Back here again for 8am this morning. Unfortunately the track didn't open as someone had used emulsion paint to graffiti part of the track.
When it did open we headed out in the M3 Ring Taxi and I had another run out in the S3 before the track was closed again. The ECU had a bit of a wobble in the Karussell and I had to pull off the track for a moment before it sorted itself out and I was away again.
Hands down one of the most thrilling things I've ever done.
Booked in to the Pistenklause tonight for 8pm.
I did a 9.22, but the Rent4Ring staff can get into the early 8s with them, which is incredible. @Marc noticed the tyres, some variety of Yokos. Ohlins suspension and endless brakes. The setup is fantastic.

Hey @Mont
I didnt realise you had replied, I had some flakey reception also, I got to the track nice and early Sat morning, 4 laps in before 10am as the track wasnt so busy at that time. Some amount of closures during the day.
Nigel took me a run in the GT3 and im sure its just as quick as the Ring taxi, so know the feeling!
Was a great weekend, deffo an annual trip for me, if i cant get across more often. Did you get yourself Steak on a stone? we had booked the pistenklause for Friday night, so didnt wanna go back 2nd night in a row.
Will try organise a big group next year if your up for it.

AD08R's and as cooper said, they are setup so well for the Ring, we were seeing 130ish into the Foxhole, the suspension is perfect for the ring, and the brakes are something else!
I had a Clio for a few laps also and it may have been quicker but way less fun and not as stable as the Swifts.
