[littleredrooster]

Anyone else going? Small group of us are on the Hull-Rotterdam ferry on Thursday to go to this.

Will be on the same boat and going to the same place,

First time at the Sachsenring and looking forward to it.

First time for us, too. Look out for a GS, Triumph and Suzuki GSF in convoy!

[V10SWC]

Will be in a group of 5, couple of GS's, KTM, Ducatti and a Triumph.
We have done a few of the European rounds over the years and have never been to the Sachsenring.

Anyone been before that could give us an idea on parking at the track, would be helpful.

Ditto for us, too. online research yields conflicting stories.

We are hoping to get to the track mid-day Saturday to suss it out before race day. I like the idea of park-and-ride, but comments suggest people have been left stranded or with a long walk.

I just parked walking distance from the track on raceday when I was there ~2016.

If I recall I just drove to the track, then followed temporary parking signs until I hit a field used during events. Relatively stress free.

Perhaps I was lucky.

Well nearly time to set off,
Weather looking good all the way there and for the race at the weekend

Aye. I'm off in 20 minutes for a meander up to 'ull. Going to eat at Sainsburys on the Hessle Road before we get on, then aim to board at 5:30 - 6:00.

See ya later!

Quartararo angry he's only 3rd in FP2.

WAs that free to park ?

Cost a fortune to park in a wobbly surface field last month at Mugello.

Although it was bone dry ,some cars needed pulling out by tractor as they couldn't gain traction.

More moronic action in Moto3 qualifying.

Moto E bikes. EV motor hum instead of engine sound, so you can hear the knee sliders on the corners. https://streamable.com/1doet

MM certainly has some record at Sachsenring

[epom]

Looking forward to seeing who comes second tomorrow.

[chunder27]

Fair play to Nakagami, utterly heroic today considering how much pain he was in. deserves 10 points just for turning up.

I enjoyed the leccy bikes, Tuuli was superb, on it and they are pretty fast in my eyes!
