Hey everyone, well I was the first to return (Thank you British Airways!) The rest of the boys are still on the road and should be home later on tonight.

Bit more of a flying visit (no pun intended) for me this time but yet again the Hockenheim GTG was absolutely incredible! So many things to say but probably not enough time (or characters!) to explain - but I must say a HUGE thank you to everyone who made this happen and made this another success - it was a great weekend full of good times!

Will try and get some pics up shortly.....

wow, V, now thats timely pic posting !!! Especially for you lmao
Shame none with OUR cars in but I guess you had a few to sort :P

What a trip, we left quite late which meant we had to stop off in freezing cold Brussels for a night. Track day was great and both cars performed incredibly well. We still both managed to overheat the brakes a bit (particularly me) but only because I really was pushing them extremely hard. A 130mph straight into a hairpin will tend to do that I guess. Proper high temp fluid and not bleeding them last minute on the campsite with a evian bottle and they will be fine. In fact I was extremely pleased with the stopping power.

There were a few minor issues, like electrical failure on the stereo feed (and lighter socket) circuit meaning I had to wire a socket to the battery via the window and bonnet for the way home. And loss of rev counter and sunroof. I also got a flat (broken valve) and ripped half the tread off a tyre.

I would like to say thanks to the german 16v club for putting on the event, in particular henger, lude and maki for making us feel so welcome. Well everyone really, what a great bunch of people. Even the polskis who we accidentally camped nearer to than is wise :)

Even the Austrian nutter drift monster madness chap was a top bloke, best to give him a few car lengths though :P

I got to bed about 4:30 last night and straight to work so I will up some pics later.

Oh, we also had a spot of bother on the way back with one of the cars. Which we will fill you in later once we have the situation fully resolved.

All passengers seemed to enjoy it, well, nearly all of it, I think its safe to say we wont have to work very hard to get them to return next year :)
And if it helped give Ashley (essex190) a boost to get his car finished all the better.

Now I am off to find 4 more toyo proxes lmao

T'was the night before raceday when all through the track, not a creature was stirring apart from a prat. And actually all the polish as well lmao but hey, I was setting a scene.

And the same view in the morning. Ohh look, deep lorinsers hmmmm If I had noticed them the night before I would have given them a lick under cover of darkness :help: :o

Morning has broken. Never mind, we will use it anyway and hope it still works. The calm of the campsite before heading over to the track.

This is the layout of the track, as seen from the stands.

The ferry we missed by a matter of seconds. It was actually 4 hrs after the one we intended to get.

Still, the clouds kept me interested for the 2 hour wait.

Love the last two pics there B) What happened with the car?

Again, the GTG is so well organised and having a half track / half walkabout day is incredibly fun! Henger I must thank you again as well as Luda and some guy who has a name called Maki or something like that ( :P ) I really will try and get my pics up this week for everyone!

Fantastic pics so far, especially the Blue 190 with the Lorinsers. (note to self; if I ever own a car again with a set of those wheels on, never ever sell them...). Loving the little NSUs as well (Prinz? or the 1200 TT?).

Looks a right blast, I'd so love to be there one year!

Your welcome to re-use any of my photos henger.

The photo of me is just coming up to the sharp bend by the concrete wall, probably my least favourite bend. As with most cars I normally just switch off race mode and drive around it slow and safely. Looks like on that lap I had other plans :)

Where is that exactly?
I remember seeing a HUGE Mercedes star the same, when I was driving to Germany a few years ago. I cannot remember which country I was in so it could be any of them between France and Germany :lol:
