The Nurburgring.

An awesome 20km track notoriously known in the motor racing community as being a technically difficult and well as physically draining race track. Does not help that its also one of the most dangerous track in the world.

Rumours has it that at least 1, die on the track every year. There is very little room for errors as the track is not so wide. There is the famous “Niki Lauda” corner where he suffered serious burns………All these which i suppose fuels it legend and makes it even more compiling for speed fans.

So what am i doing there ?? To watch a race of course !  No guts to go out on the track. Am extremely afraid of speed. I rather take a bus. :)

You have to know the track very well to get a good time here……Playstation 3′s Gran Tourismo will help…..

The winning car for the day’s 4 hour race.

I think she is faster than most of the men there that day. Who says racing aren’t for the fairer sex. They can even do better !!

Seriously, the only women spectators are there to support their boyfriends or husbands or brothers.

6 cars in a garage and 2 garages share a pump. It will be a big squeeze during pit time…….

See how close the spectators are to the cars ? In most other races, try getting to the pit. Your will be turned away the moment you even think about it. Its different here, you can get up close to the cars, the drivers…….which i think adds to its appeal.

Danny owns European Speed Club. A exclusive race company that teaches you everything you need to know and makes it fun at the same time !

See where you go if you make a mistake ? very narrow tracks. This is one of the few areas where you can watch the race for free. Its just before the famous “Niki Lauda” corner.

Not everyone is interested though !!!

Relax before the race…….there is even time for couple bonding :)

That smile, he did really well for the day :)

…….trust me, its a real dog…….. Me had fun at Nurburgring !!!
