I usually wait 45 minutes to an hour... and let all the "track squirrels" go out and proven their manhood. Inevitably a few of them will wreck and then everyone tends to calm down some.

Also... becareful at kilometer marker 14: Hohe Acht (I think thats the name). As you approach that turn you are first going down a hill then up a hill(the apex is blind and then it shoots down hill after the apex)... the way the tree (forrest)line is cut the road looks to go to the RIGHT... but as you are climbing up that hill.... it is blind and then close to the top you realize the road goes LEFT not right and then it is downhill thru a corkscrew off (neg) camber surface. It caught a friend of mine by surprise and he almost wrecked our rental car. All along I was screaming from the back seat RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT!!!! But he could have sworn the road went left. Everyone does. lol

I would not be affriad to come to the Ring. Just respect it. Because the Green Hell has some sharp teeth!
Is it left or is it right? Your two sentences seem to contradict
