Why the Nürburgring camera ban might be 'relaxed'
I sure hope so, especially since this might be the last tourist season before new ownership...

What's car friday?
Excuse my ignorance. - How the technology has changed (tires especially). I bet a 1M can turn a lap time as fast as the Ruf could back in the day. This driver is really hamming it up for the camera kicking out the tail at every opportunity with a simple flick of the wheel and a healthy application of throttle.

Car Friday is for car enthusiasts what Good Firday is for people that believe in God. It is one of the most packed non event days ever. Just google or youtube carfriday and you will see. Better yet...........Here you go. This is some of the antics from last year.
Literally the first day of "open season"

re: "sideways Stefan"

The driver of that Ruf ("yellow bird") was nicknamed: "sideways Stefan". Supposedly bc he could drive that 911 turbo so sideways he had more dead bugs on his doors than the windshield!! Also... he could only do about four laps of the 'Ring driving sideways like that before one of the rear tires would blow out. And I mean BLOW OUT! I remember reading this UK car mag where they talked about just such an event. Two lucky readers won a ride in it. As I remember one of the passengers got sick afterwards too. See story bellow... http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthre...407501&page=92 Quote:

This is the 29th correct?
There is potential for me to go. Ill be taking my wife and daughter to Ramstein next week sometime and probably leaving there on thursday or something. If others go then maybe ill just stay another night in the cheap lodging at Ramstein and go up there Friday morning.

On easter-friday? Yes, at least according to the current official schedule. Thats what makes it so "special", for many that is the start of the season. Track will be quite full, hence I am considering getting my photo-gear to a nice spot (Adenauer Forst i.e.) and spend a few hours there bursting away pictures.

How about we plan on a little meet once the Tourist Drives start back up? Maybe when it gets a little bit warmer in a few more weeks.

Al Gore controls the weather now? I guess that's his new "job" now that he out of office. And here I thought... Al Gore only invented the internet!

Furlough is postponed 2 weeks so I doubt we'll be on unpaid leave by then. I will be off work though, so if I don't have to pick up my repaired wheel in Kaiserslautern I'll swing by the 'Ring for this.

2013 schedule...lots of days to meet...
Originally I pasted all the dates the ring would be open in 2013 but that was pages long so here is an PDF that we can save to our smartphones and iPads etc... all 2013 dates for easy reference.
