Tough luck, hope you still get it going.

The writing is on the wall:

"Without Nürburgring our region would be an area for hunters and collectors."

I cleaned the engine lid for the first time

Noticed some damages in the paint that I guess comes from the black soft plastic thing that I marked out with arrows.



I note the top arrows show where the paint is a bit damaged




A close up of the scratch




I just put some painters tape there for now

Friend of mine had maybe even less luck.

It was his debut in RCN: his team said that he won his class - later when the results arrived he was disqualified: probably drove one lap too much.

Then we had lunch at Tiergarten when we lazily noticed the tow trucks pulling up.
Few minutes later we realized what was going on and friend run out in panic to stop them from removing his wrongly parked car.
He managed to stop them but had to pay the fines in cash, 120EUR.

I almost was LMAO. .

Then I realized that my car probably was subject to towing so I ran out and secured my car.

My friend was about to go to the airport when his car was about to disappear. It would have been quit a surprise coming out to find no car.

Anyway: I spoke to him when he was on his way to the airport discussing what could possible gone wrong in the race when the speed camera flashed in my friends face.

Not a very good day but if you can laugh about it, there where plenty to laugh about .


Friends white car was next in line to get removed.
