Our (forums') nice friend made Ats and Mamba happy as I am no more virgin 
I did the Ring in my life the first time...
I have driven laps w Hobi and then he w me. Steve your crazy in 9".
Anyway we all have to do that.
Well in Tim's V8 was like a JET, really, and there were some Ferraris, M6 no M5 nor Sabine.
But bloody rain a lot. I let a Manta pass me and he was racing an Alfa after the 2nd corner they CRASHED, oh my, lucky us we were not going faster as the rain was there, but in the straight we floored it-as much as reasonable in rain.
His car has ///M suspension quite funny Mamba has DD and was also ok, Tim liked the torque of the diesel, I liked the sound of the V8.
Jochen was there and took some photos of each, so that might be possed this week.
Steve and Peter I am sorry whenever you go to the Ring I am back at home. But try to go this year and next year I will wear the same "watch" Steveee
Thx to Tim for being the best race instructor/trainer.
IMPORTANT info on flags:
Flag signals
- Yellow: Accident, reduce speed considerably, no overtaking. ( almost just roll)!!!
- Yellow-Red: Oil spill on course, reduce speed considerably, no overtaking.
- Red: Course blocked, stop immediately.
