Looks like you will be nearby so - if you haven't attended the 24 hours of LeMans - would carve some time out. Best race is the world - nothing else come close to it! And a sports car heaven with like minded people driving their cars to the race.

Nurburgring will be closed from 17.6 to 23.6. because of the 24h race there. That's a spectacle to watch as well!

I’ll try to be around Nring/Spa in June.
Ah, yes of course, its where I started and my go-to site.
They don't have too much up yet, but I hope more dates will be added the next 3 weeks.

Yes, some of these distances may be impossible, I'm still puzzeling, also depends if Mrs TRAKCAR is on board and if I need to use the van and trailer (Depending on services available at the destination) some Km are faster to cover then others. If at night and not in Switzerland, big distances can be fun in the RS.

Thanks, great idea! Added to the calendar.

Great stuff, noted!!

Perhaps I can add Goodwood July 4-9 after dropping the car off in Zuffenhausen again. Hmm perhaps I should drop it off in the UK, lets see about Silverstone and Donnington track days right before the end of June.

Making notes, thanks for all ideas :-)

Grand Turismo:

Important for 2019

We have done this event since ten(!) years now. Many of you have been with us since the beginning. You are becoming very fast around this track, and you want to enjoy free laps without slow traffic in the way. Hence, we are making some modifications to our format:

- Previous experience on the Nurburgring will be required. There are many other opportunities for drivers who want to drive their first laps on this extremely challenging track. Gran Turismo is for super car owners who have previous experience - only. No beginners.

- As always, instruction will be available. However, in-car instruction only. No guided laps during our days.

- We are reducing the number of cars allowed to join. Next year, 130 cars is the limit. This is 15 cars lower than in 2018.

- Warm up session the first day is reduced to 30 minutes. During this half hour we take it somewhat easier around the track. There is new asphalt in several sections, that we want you to be aware of. Full speed laps from 8:30.
