You mean we haven't all done that?

Braking downhill into that first hairpin was always a bit interesting, and there was one of the corners where I kept overdoing it and running over the rumble strips (pretty agressive they were too). Mostly the GP circuit is a bit "Mickey Mouse", but some of it was fun and it was good to go through the proper start/finish straight.

Also it gave you a good chance to get your tyres and brakes well up to temperature before the Nordschelife.

I don't know why they don't open the whole thing more often.

Because usually there's some kind of racing or testing going on.

Err... No?

We have no tracks in Cyprus and the costs to carry the S abroad in one, are prohibiting. It cost me around 1100 UK pounds to ship the S from the UK to Cyprus. Anywhere in the Europe would be about twice that much
