My Alfa 147 + Nurburgring

[nugget]

I did a small road trip around Europe from Friday to today and when coming from Germany to Luxembourg, we saw signs for the Nurburgring so we decided to stop for a go, lol. I ended up taking it for a lap on the Nordschliefe for €22. I've never been on a track before, lol, and never thought I'd have 4 passengers and lots of luggage to the brim, inside the car too!

I let pass numerous supercars and hypercars and even chavved out Polo's and Volvo estates! lol I couldn't slow down fast enough for chicanes and I don't think I'm skillful enough to hold a diesel car in the optimum torque ranges, it was very fun though however I could hear my wheels squeel every turn and figured out what the anti skid actually was when it engaged numerous times.

its a completly different experience. the hills are immense, great fun, no other track like. fast and very unforgiving, such a rush

need to go again

Excellent stuff, you have lived a little...

I've done two trips to Nurburg, completing 12 laps in total - 9 in a 145 QV and 3 in the 166, both amazing experiences. Quite fancy having a bash in my new Seicento Schumacher toy town car...

Never actually tried it on a games console.

thank you all

I was gonna get some shots too, I'm a photographer too and had all my equipment in the boot for the road trip, i even thought to myself this would be a great place to get some pics except we were on a tight schedule and had to get to luxembourg and then paris for that evening! (can't believe diesel in luxembourg is only €0.846 per liter btw!)
