Don't plan on having a lot of mobility once you get there. By Friday afternoon, there won't be parking spot to be had, even along the verge.

I shall be working as a mechanic - if you can get into the paddock look out for the garage containing a red/white Mazda RX7 and a red/black Alfa 147 S2000 JTD.

Graham,



Theres a couple of forums that you can try that should get you some really detailed info :

NORTHLOOP - http://z8.invisionfree.com/Northloop/index.php?act...

RINGERS - http://autos.ninebean.com/ringers/index.php



Also, loads of info and links on Ben Lovejoys site :

http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/



Incidentally, I'm one of the drivers for Brunswick, I'll be in the Alfa 147 ... your welcome to cheer as we go by smile and, as Wayne said, pop by the paddock and say Hi.

TV coverage is from the german channel DSF, which you can get with analouge satelite in the uk, not sure about digital.
