Here are my pics of this past sunday on the Nurburgring, it was a fun day. We went up to the track with my 2004 Mazda RX8, 2002 Subaru WRX, 2002 Pontiac WS6, 2000 Honda Integra Type-R and we only returned with 3 out of the 4 cars.
I'll have videos of some of the laps in a few days
New Video
Before I post all the pics I'll explain what happened to one of our cars. On our third lap we had some friends filming one of the turns. So we decided to leave the gates at the same time and race to where they were filming. In this lap all of us were pushing our cars to the limit pretty much. We go past where they were filming and we continue to battle to see who will finish first. Its mostly me and the WRX that are bumper to bumper thru the turns and the type-R is a bout 2 to 3 cars behind us the whole time.
We come to this set of turns that include a hard right up a hill to a blind drop to a sweeping left. I know on this turn to slow down a little to get to the outside so you don't hit the side of the road for the sweeping left.
This is why you go to the outside
his tire dropped off the side of the road and he started to slide right into that wall
he spun during this and remember I was on his ass during the turn. I came about a foot from hitting there front end when they were spinning in circles from the wall impact. All I did was hit the gas and they heard me do that from inside there car.
Damage (timing belt broke and motor shut off at impact)
We are off to the side as racing continues.

Holy WOW. First, that turn where the WRX went off is a whole lot of brick-laden off-camber goodness, ooch. That red Type R 'teg was like my all-time 16yo dream car in 1999 , very nice. How many 8's did you see? Was parking on the track there for that long a good idea??
And WOW at the Skyline pics, awesome find. Worst hidden development car ever, good job!
OMG I am so unbelievably jealous. My dream is to drive that track. I practice on Project Gotham weekly. That is one nasty turn where you friend wreck, so sorry . Those Ferraris are sexy but that 911 GT3 RS makes me drool...... And did I see the ring taxi was a friggin M5!!!!! Germany definitely does it right in my opinion!!
Great pics...thanks for sharing!
How was traffic on the 'Ring with that wide variety of vehicles?
I was still able to run a mid nine with all the traffic

that brick stuff is what his back tire dropped off of. I went to the outside of that turn and he went to the inside and lost control. and slid in front of me and hit the wall.
The parking on the side was ok because I put out the fire that was underneath my friends car from the impact.
ok, i am better now, wow, you are one lucky SOB. I would have been on automotive pr0n overload. the green GT3 RS was cool, but all of the cars from Stuttgart would have had me in a coma. And to be able to drive the track, even better.
