Nice pics, Ed

Jochen provided me with my avatar (or most of it anyway!) in July '05.

Good skills mate - much respect for tackling the 'ring, regardless of times, apexes or the like

. After reading about Lauda's crash there and any F1 driver's thoughts on the nordschliefe, kudos to you for getting on there chap

Dont get me wrong, its a scary track. My first ever lap in the wet was the scariest thing i have ever done in a car, period. BUT thats what makes it so special an experience that you want to go back agaian and again.

You dont have to drive flat out (like Lauda), you can take it at your own pace and the risks are much lower. There is always a risk, but personally, i wouldnt let that get in the way of the ultimate track experience.
