anyone attending DTM at Nürburgring?

DTM from 5 - 7 August 2011 at the Nürburgring

Going to buy my ticket tomorrow for Saturday only, just an up and back day trip. Anyone else going? Any tips for my first time driving to Nurburging and/or attending a DTM race day?

I found a couple friends to ride up, we're going Sunday.

Would it be cheating to get a 'Ring sticker for my car before I actually take a lap?

It wouldn't be cheating.......it would be a bad omen

Never put a 'ring sticker before riding the nordschleife. It's very bad ju-ju.

Roger that. I have it ready, the time will come...

I saw a lot of cars today with them that I wager will never take a lap. But I guess that's one way of avoiding teh bad ju-ju, eh? Since I will I'll hold off on applying the sticker.

.last year, Dackel, Sylon and I drove up to Nurburgring for a fun day but all we saw was fog...all day. what a bust. no laps at all.

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...44#post8240344

And I also bought some stickers.....so tempted to put on my car. But I resisted because to me, the 'ring is sacred, and you earn the right to put that sticker on your car.

There's a certain pride when someone asks you "did you drive the Nürburgring Nordschleife?" and you can honestly say yes..

In my opinion, that's when you brand your car....after you drove it and survived.

Just my two cents

While we're on the subject of track-map etiquette: what about a track you've driven in a different car?
I found two stickers from Summit Point (Jefferson and Main) that I never put on my previous car.
I'm not going to put them on the 135 but I was tempted for a moment...

When I had my 1989 E30 325i, I had been to Hockenheim and the 'ring with it. When I got my hands on the 1er, I was tempted too but chose to wait until I hit both tracks.

Yeah, the DTM race was Sunday, I just wanted to see race cars and The 'Ring. ;-)
But we ended up going Sunday so it was all good. Next year I wouldn't mind making a weekend of it if I have a caravan.
