You have been in the US too long. Peter. The N=FCrburgring truly has an Open
to the Public Policy.

you must have these things to drive:

Car.
Seatbelts.
Money (not much 12Dm I think...)
Very heavy right shoe.

If you are on a bike:
helmet.
leathers.
money.
good life insurance.

I have driven the course twice. it is the most fabulous experience. I was
just there this summer for the Old-timers races (on the grand prix course)
and the Nordschleife was very crowded...and closed an awful lot as they
scraped motorcycle leather off the pavement continually. I finally had to
leave w/o my fix. :-(

Weekdays are the quietest. If you can spare the time (and the wear on the
car) take more than one lap. FULL THROTTLE through the Karousel.
