Woohoo, what a day - weather was miles better than predicted and meeting a bunch of strangers from the interweb images/smilies/ohmy.gif turned out to be an extremely pleasent experience!

Special thanks again to that nice Porsche driver who kindly offered me a lap on the Ring in his car! images/smilies/smile.gif

First pic (not of us, though):
http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/6969/alfalb0.jpg

P.S. I got back home without any problems and hope that I won't encounter any problems in the next couple of days as well.

Okay, some more pics:

First: introduction to the first Ringtaxi ever (including two FG-member cars and one FG member) images/smilies/smile.gif
http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/6231/dsc2975rv6.jpg

The castle the Ring's named after (not the other way round as some might think!)
http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/3400/dsc2983ey1.jpg

This is what we found when we hit the Grand prix circuit:
http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/1540/dsc2995wq4.jpg

Some new Ferrari, Aston or Volvo - you can't really tell since it's heavily disguised images/smilies/smile.gif
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8158/dsc3015ec4.jpg
http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/3781/dsc3020gv8.jpg

Some guys returning from their lap:

Some car photos that turned out rather well: (no FG-member cars!)

I wasn't in the most gentlemen-ish outfit. I didn't even shave, but well, I went to a track to meet sweaty guys with no aircon in their race machines, smell rubber and petrol. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Picture is:
me - mautzel - behind him our rx8 man homer - other side of sabine alok, behind him flaming ice, stig is asunaphel, and mxm on the other end.
