I just spent a couple of rainy days at the Nürburgring, which is of course the Mount Everest of all race tracks. I stayed in the Dorint Hotel, with a nice view from my balcony over the GP track, which looked lovely the evening I arrived. By the next afternoon the rain arrived, and I did the BMW CCA of Germany school with trepidation as the little 3 series I had slipped and slid it's way around the very complex and hard to learn track.

If you ever intend to come here I must recommend BMW's own driving school, as doing the owner's club course just gives you too little time to learn such a technical, difficult and very dangerous track. In my shots below you can see the cars of BMW's own school - I'll be back for that one for sure!

Here are a couple of pix of the place, and the track museum, which includes a hall dedicated to BMW, and has the Moto GP Z8 Safety Car.

Very nice Andrew. Too bad you and Paul were stuck with the rain. Take care on your way back home.
