The 'Ring in October/November?

[anonymous-user]

Having been bitten by the bug last weekend, a few friends and I are thinking about making a return trip later this year. October 1st-3rd would give us 2.5 days on track (with the VLN to watch on September 30th if we're there a bit earlier). Otherwise we're looking at November for full weekends.

What's it normally like this late in the year? Are we going to be guaranteed torrential rain or even snow? Or does it not normally get really bad until later?

Excellent news, thanks everyone for the reassurance. Looks like we'll have to start booking! Maybe see a few of you there.

I owe serious thanks to all that convinced me that an October trip to the 'Ring was a good idea. Got back yesterday having spent an awesome three days tearing around. If anyone was held up by a green MX5 with the roof down slip sliding all over the place I apologise!

Looked like you were having fun. You certainly weren't hanging about when you passed me through Kallenhard.

Yep, 8 on Sunday, only a couple on Monday, but 21 on Tuesday! Not that I'm hooked or anything...

21 in a day!!!! What sort of state was the car in after that?

Well, only 18 of them were in the Mazda. But it was fine. The only problem I had all weekend was a bit of overheating coming off after my first lap when in traffic which I traced to a broken rad fan thermoswitch so I just left the aircon switched on all weekend as this switches both rad fans on.
