anyone driving the nurburgring soon?
Discussion
Bit of a long shot but is anyone travelling over to try out the mighty green hell at anypoint this summer?
I live in cologne but dont have a car and the nurburgring is only an hour away, and I still havent driven it and dont want to spend silly money hiring a suzuki swift.
Im willing to pay the ring ticket price and petrol etc for a passenger ride in a caterham as I would like to experience it properly.
So bit of a long shot but worth asking hopefully.
Cheers in advance

Ha that's me in front of you in the old BMW at start of the vid (pic from last yrs DN) http://youtu.be/7oJEfQCXbs0
I'm chasing my pal in the old Mk2 Golf, he however ran a 7.44 on that day, I can just pip an 8.00 if i'm feeling in the groove so I'm soon left behind, you are pretty much behind me the whole lap, I only gap you where my top speed helps me out you caught me well in the whole down to Breidshied section- Kalenhard, M.H.M etc, you were mighty, I then pull away up the hill again you close in Wiperman & right behind in phlanzgarten, up to the start of the DH, where I bang on the hazards & slow for the yellows, then pull away again. Great lap. Interesting 1200kg vs 500kg
2nd lap I really should have pulled in as was my 3rd lap on the bounce & the tyres & me were a tad goosed on such a scoching day & you close me nicely down foxhole & out of AF & I know how brisk you were as said above on the whole next section, I don't want to spoil your flow so I pull over & you do me at Metzgfeld.
I had meant to find you in the car park & say Hi, 1st quick Caterham ever come across at 'ring, you were pedaling well, I guessed you were 140bhp or so, my last Caterham was a tad more punchy with 170bhp ish & 515kg, if you were in that I think my lardy old bimmer would have been far easier prey.
