Ali,

My brother went there last year and spent 2 days there. did the ring taxi and had a chat with Sabine.... video taped the lap as well and to this day has not stopped talking of it.

Reckons it was beyond accurate description.... when he was there they shut the track down for an hour or so Heinz Harald Frentzen could dial in his le mans car ready for an enduro that was happening later that month.

He said one thing you dont notice off TV is how undulating the track is with very steep uphill and downhill sections and a lot of negative camber turns.

here is a link I like to look in every now and then....

I trust everyone knows there are two tracks at the ring. The newer, shorter track which is mainly used for F1 races and the older track which detours out deep into the country side.
Can i have a bragging right and say ive been past Spa and the LeMans tracks :-)
