Ferrari Clienti XX cars at the Ring pics.
Discussion
On Monday July 8th I took a day trip ,of 28 hours total , just to see these cars at the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
Originally I was due to be returning home from Italy and stopping off here but the road trip down south got binned off.
I first drove to the Touristenfarht car park but there was no access and so I drove next to Adenau and then up
the hill to where you can park for Bergwerk.
There was a marshal posted there and at many other points for the day so a dodgy viewing point from a marshal post was out.
So I drove back down the hill , a few hundred yards and walked into the field ,under the circuit in a tunnel and walked through the woods
to a point by the track near marshal point 124 ,where there wasn't a marshal.
There was one at 123 and Bergwerk is I think 126 ,but as long as I was sensible then standing on or near the post was fine.

I'm only familiar with a little of the Nordschleife ,so after lunch decided to go to the public area at Brunnchen ,easy to access
and a good view of cars.
Don't know what time this continued till but I left after 4pm to return to Calais.
Enjoy.....
My transport for the day......741 miles door to door.

I was there and lucky enough to get a ride in Ferrari's own prototype FXX K Evo...sadly it was an overall uninteresting lap given they wanted to take it easy to avoid unnecessary accidents (most of the drivers were at their first drive on the Nordschleife...) but in few parts of the track the driver let it loose a bit and it was mind blowing!
Apart from the circuit the area is generally quiet so I got a good early warning of the cars approaching and was always ready with the
slow camera.
The cars sound pretty good ,the cars are by no means being driven anywhere near 100% but these are mostly gentlemen drivers ,not
F1 world champions.
No video footage.
I didn't see any of the drivers either in the cars or in the pit area.
I don't know if any of the instructors accompanying the gents on track were well known faces, probably Ferrari's own testers.

Is anyone in the program properly fast? I know Sam can drive but I don't see his 88 car there?
In the first morning sessions they were pretty pedestrian but by the time I left at 4pm some were getting the hang of it.Easy for me to say ,I don't own a car worth $Ms and have done only about 12 Greenhell laps.
