damn you!
you are right Svache… What was i thinking ?? I was driving on that piece of road, thinking i was on a track....

The Nurb'Ring is not a track, it's a privately managed public road!
Damn me, having too much imagination..

In trying to reach my hotel in a small town of Nurburg, we Somehow go lost and found ourselves on a very expensive 20 kms long toll road that was going no where....

Silly germans for doing a highway that takes you back where you started... i thought i was in some spatial/time warp hole...

Here is my signature as well , i accept this disclaimer as well, that's why i also choose the : "I only drive enthusiastically my car on regular public roads."

what would my "Luxury" wink wink 4-door Saloon/Sedan do on a track...
worthless!




But it's ok, because this is my turn to drive now, to really drive in the real sense of it:
and My parents have no idea what they are getting into!
(neither would they if we were able to catch that fancy white taxi)
I dont know which would be worse for them:
- riding with a hardcore professional driver doing holigans stuff
or
- riding with their son trying to show off in his brand new car on a track they never knew about until today:

At this point: i made a quick run around the Ring, it was magical,
especially being the last few cars on the track for the day... it was empty, slightly wet, but trying up.
I couldn't believe i was driving on the NurburgRing, all my hours on the PS3 with GT5 had paid off!
all the turns were coming to mind, i knew exactly what to expect on the next one

pushing the car and pushing myself...
The car behaved very well! with 3 persons onboard, along with all the luggages...
(remember we still havent checked into our hotel yet)



This is the photos right after my very first run on this mythic / legendary track:

I had to let the car breath a little bit,
even it really doesn't need to, Maybe the brakes, because and the transmission...
but what a great pleasure to be driving the car all day long on the freeway,
then take the very same car to the track

here you clearly see the size difference between the 5 and the 3:



The funny thing: is 2 mins after i finish the run:
it was falling down ice for 15-20 mins!!
