Was at work the other day and just out of curiosity went online to check out the festival called rock-am-ring and one thing led to another and all of a sudden me and a friend are going to the festival and the legendary nordschleife is only a half hour away! So I'm thinking about taking the zx for an epic roadtrip and a few laps of the green hell. Pretty excited!

If anyone has done it before then please share your experience, any tips or tricks is welcomed!

Sounds like fun Spiff. Remember to take plenty of pics and report back. :thumbup1:

I would love to go to the rock am ring. Right up my alley that. Hope you enjoy the ring my friend

Looking forward to the pictures and keep away from the armco!

 

I went a few years ago on my motorbike, it's an amazing place!

It's so difficult to learn and you find yourself needlessly braking for corners that could be taken flat if you know the circuit. My advice would be to learn it on a computer game first, to get the most out of it, I wish I had.

The roads around the circuit are really good too and surfaced nicely.

A trip to the ring is a memorable experience.

 

My few words of advice,

 

Be aware of your surroundings of track

 

Drive what you can see, remember some corners go on for longer than you first think and tighten up, so apex corners later rather than earlier.

 

Be aware anything might overtake, and don't be tempted to put up chase, it may well be a 1.9 diesel hatchback, but it may also be a VLN driver on the way to the shops!

 

Don't go out in the first 15 mins after the track opens (in the morning or after a closure). It's completely mental just after opening, so let the nutters go for it first!

 

A little known thing is that you can also arrive and drive the GP track at the ring too, which is well worth ticking off.

 

Treat your car to some 102 octane at Aral fuel station!

 

Drive safe!

Did it yesterday, man what a blast! And there are some seriously fast people out there. And the car parks where also full of drool worthy cars [emoji3] once in a lifetime experience, but hopefully I can come back another time [emoji106]

Most fun I've ever had in a car with my clothes on![emoji23]
