Arrived back to UK yesterday evening in time for Easter egg hunt for my daughter. A "Big thank you" to Steve "SG535D" for organising the trip. The atmosphere in the Ring is phenomenal. Never see so many Porsche GT2/3/GT3 RS....plus many more extremely fast car gathering in one place. The "Ring Taxi" ride driven by "Sabine Schmitz" is amazing. Looking forward to the next Visit . Steve ! You said June ! I can hardly wait !

P.S Oh ! Forgot to mention ! Steve gave us a ride on his very first lap. Me,Christopher,Skaffa and Odi were all passengers. Steve managed to past a "Noble M12 GTO 3R"

The ring was a blast as usual. Plenty of accidents though. I took some pics Sat.

Great pics kigerka,

Steve's car looks awesome with his splitters on!! (nice one steve!) - can't wait for any "jochen-pics" to be posted

And the queue to the car park on the main straight looks huuuge - and it is double lanes. There was no queue at all when we went (the first public weekend of the year) but then again the weather was sh1t, and I guess the ring is like this normally (busy) and especially so around easter

Looking forward to your stories, vids, pics, stories vids and pics and more pics

Me and Timo are also home. Just! Trafic ja started 45km before Stockholm and we spend some two hours in that. 27min before ship sailed we were in harbour.

We stayed over night near Puttgarden and had about 650 km road behind us on German "free speed" roads.

Okay, The Ring. IT WAS AMAZING! After first lap in m own car my hand shaked some half an hour! I try to make more detailed first timer report when I get some time of my own.

Wait for next time because I still have laps left in my card.

Just back myself. Great time, hope everyone who attended enjoyed themselves

Working on the video right now - looks great so far.

See you managed to get the data from the logger into the video!
Now that's cool
First video of the ring I've seen displaying all these data.
Wow
