Hi Lee,
also following the race, actually will go there in about 2 hours to watch the last 4-5 hours, I'm living practically next door to the Ring. Ooops, 2nd place Porsche just had a small crash and repair stop

Small world, eh? Lancashire lass myself. It was the first big meeting I went to but I did go to Rufforth and Croft quite a bit too; also the hill climbs at Harewood and the odd GP but that wasn't until '65. We can have a nostalgia trip at the circuit!Title: Re: Nurburgring 24h Rennen
