If these pics load then this should show what you are missing and the place where the VR-4 belongs

This first pic shows a very small part of the Ring - the part that takes you to the Karussel

Another picture

Shows the car and the track approaching a large spectator viewing area

One picture is looking forward from the car showing the track and landscape into the distance - fantastic scenery in which to have a track

4 villages nestle within the boundaries of the track

The other photo is on one of the many bends - 72? - and illustrates some of the changes in altitude

You sure that's not in England with all that graphitti on the track? :laugh:

Certainly looks very inviting!
How much for a wiz round generally?

Assorted pics showing more features and lanscape around the track

Sorry for a pic without a VR-4 but it shows off some of the bends AND it has my second favourite car - the MR2 - a friend lapping at Easter this year

I agree! Was round it last week in Mrs H's SLK (might have been better in the VR-4 because I would probably have driven it harder ;) ) - would have lost all my brownie points for ever if I'd dented her pride and joy ... :p - and it was pi$$ing down at the time ...

Yes as many laps as you can get in

Managed 47 so far this year and over 400 total laps during last few years

This is my third JahresKarte - season ticket - and fourth year of visiting the Ring - first visited with my MR2

Was there when Clarkson visited for his series on our european neghbours and I appeared briefly as I lapped the Ring - at the point shown in the 2001 picture but I think Clarkson was there in 2003

Great pics Chris, and can assure you if finance allowed I would be there like a shot - Castle Combe and my other track day both showed me the most fun ever in a VR4 is on a track :-D
