Hey Guys,
I've been browsing this forum for awhile and occasionally post stuff
This year I was sent to the UK for work and did what any Honda fanboy would
Bought myself a FD2R and VTECed my way to Nurburgring
Thought I'd share a few pics, this place is just absolutely stunning, I've never been so scared behind the wheel of a car than when I was on the Nordschleife.
I've got a clip of one of the runs,

its not that special, I honestly don't know my way around the track, but hell it was fun! I'll let the pictures do the talking from now on.
Crossed 5 Countries in one day to get there, including the Eurotunnel train
MUST... NOT... VTEC... IN... TRAIN!
My hotel for the week, its right next to the long straight at Tiergarten Corner
In the mornings you wake up to the sounds of 911s and you know the track is open!
If you watch Top Gear, the hotel is owned and run by the Schmitz family, we saw Sabine Schmitz drop by a few times (aka The Queen of the Ring)
The Nordschleife entrance
At any one time you can be on track with motorcyclist (some with passengers on board
) buses, single seater race cars, heck they even do track repairs while its open to the public! It's utter madness!
My first lap! You're allowed to take as many passengers as you like as long as they were seatbelts, that's the only requirement! Didn't need a helmet, long sleeves or any kind of race license! Just buy a ticket and away you go!
The car park was definitely very cool
I thought M3 GTS was rare, not at this place...
Lots of 911s too
Mate rented a E92 M3 for 6 laps, sat shotgun for awhile, what a machine, but the rental company wouldn't let us turn off the TCS...
There was a merchandise store in the car park, they sell everything from t-shirts to toasters!this one printed an outline of the track on your morning toast
