Taken from the EVO newsletter.....

The Nurburgring opens for business again this weekend, with the world-famous Nordschleife available for public and tourist laps from Sunday March 15. A fortnight later the Ring's Grand Prix track joins it, with dedicated tourist sessions for the first time.

Just like the Nordschleife, it operates as a public toll road so German Highway Code applies and police are able to prosecute dangerous driving. Unlike the 13-mile Ring, though, it boasts long run-off areas and gravel traps to try and ensure mishaps don't end up expensively nestled in the Armco.

It costs 30 euros (just over £28) for 20 minutes around the 3.2-mile track, which has seven left-hand bends and ten right-handers. It will be open for 28 days during 2009, with more details available at the official Ring website.

Awesome, so now not only is the burger ring a public road but so is the F1 track as well :)

Needs to be organised. My friends from the Celica club and Ford club in the UK go over twice a year. Easter is one of the busiest weekends there. Only a few hours driving from my parents place in the UK. 2010 sounds good with me. :laugh:

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....

      Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
