First trip to The Ring 11/9/13

I've reserved a 125i for half a day at the Nurburgring on November 9th while on vacation from the states. If any fellow 1ers will be there I'd love to sit as a passenger before I head out on my own.

Just gotta pray for good weather and hope the snow holds off till then. I'll be gone, car is already shipped. But, it's good you gave over a month notice, I'm sure you could probly talk a couple of the guys into joining you.

Yeah, even though any trip to the ring is basically priceless, the fact of the matter is, you're coming late in the season. Everyone will be all winter tired up, or stored away.

even though most of us will be winter up, have fun out there man and be safe, let the faster cars over take you on the left and always signal to the right when someone faster is coming up on you to let them know you are moving out of there way

Have fun on your visit to the 'Ring. IF you want any ideas of where else to go just click on my: Dackel's European Delivery Museum Guide (under my sig or send me a PM.

kobeballer96 has some great advice above. I would only add... that when the 'Ring is cold it can be VERY slippery! Go MUCH slower than you think you should at first. Because you may find yourself sliding off the road on some of the 'Ring's dreaded off camber and blind turns!!

I would also say be very careful at first, especially if your on slicks and it will be cold out. There are a few turns that really surprise you when you drive the track for the first time. Maybe even go for a ride with someone who has driven the Ring or follow behind them for a lap or two. That will help you at the 'Ring.

But have fun and take in one of worlds best car Mecca's. The 'Ring is something very special for us car nuts.

I would encourage anyone thinking of driving the 'Ring to ride along on a lap with someone they trust first.
