Yes, absolutely - and the character of the track changes dramatically as the speed increases.

It is tourist driving until 19.30 - then we might need some time to fill up the cars with fuel and air.

How about 20.30 at Pistenclause? I can make an reservation for us there. Or other place if you prefer.

Dinner participants:

Me
Michael (Friend from Sweden, Ferrari FF)
Trakcar
Ms Trakcar

Have I missed someone?

Looks like you have had incredible luck with the weather today.
When I looked at the rain radars it looked like it was raining everywhere except at Nürburgring.
Or did you get some showers today?

It was really nice to meet you at the track today. I am the guy that started talking with you in the parking outside the circuit.
I finished my laps for today and I was having some fresh air before heading back home when I saw a GT4 with a very special plates exiting the track and I thought..."I now this guy", so I follow you to the parking lot.
Your car is awesome in real life.
Hope you will enjoy your time here!

They suggested I try first at the train station, as there is an exchange office in the main lobby. I explained that I had a substantial amount, and they were kind enough to suggest I negotiate the rate. Which I did! I got them to recalculate the rate three times......

Your trip sounds amazing. Keep sharing.

Travel tip: Best exchange rates I always find by simply withdrawing funds from ATM machines. Works every time and I have never been surprised with bad f/x rates. Currency exchange places are ALWAYS the worst/most expensive.

Enjoy!
