My worry about going to the Ring is always that the weather could totally ruin it!
it was odds on for this to happen with such an early easter this year..

tends to snow in the eiffel mountains during march..

rain is also a bit of a bummer if you have travelled so far just to get a few laps..

however last time at the ring.. it was the sun that did me, I went to work the following week looking like tomato

The guys I met on the Ferry have a few vids of me doing drive bys, I will publish when I get link. One of these guys had an instructor take his Lancia out brakes failed at 130 mph , luckily the guy knew how to stop it without the brakes. Turns out one of the disk pads had fell out

He missed the ferry last night as he was having his supension rebuilt.

F**king hell, so brave! I hope that audi wasn't doing more than 10mph around the ring?

Given my last wet lap, rain = no more play at Adenau.

Lol, I'll rephrase that. Once they cleared the snow were you able to get any fast lap in?

Can't believe they opened it in that state. What were they thinking?
