Me too hopefully. Its a bit too far away to plan with my business circumstances but shouldn't be a major problem.

Having been round the track already (albeit only 5 laps) I'm hooked. What a place I would advise anyone into cars/driving to go there just once in their lives as it is an awesome experience of the highest level. Especially in an E60!

The Germans have made it so nice for themselves!
