First a biker went over the barriers (he died in the hospital).
Then a British M3 lost oil on the track, and 2 bikers slipped over it, one of them had to be airlifted to a hospital.

Superleggera? Looks like Club GTI is back.


Any ideas on the car behind the Lambo?

I thought only one slipped on the coolant? (It was a radiator joint which snapped). The british biker there was a friend of his, and the chap in high-vis vest was a marshall.

Oh, and that Lotus is kept at RSR in Nurburg. Other interesting cars kicking about at the weekend (which I have pics of most)...

-Koenigsegg CCX
-Murciealgo RGT
-Carrera GT
-''Bumblebee'' 996 and 997
-996 GT3 Cup
-BMW M1
-Gallardo superleggera

Plus lots of F430 Scuderias, 997 GT3 RSs, 997 GT2s, largely part of the ''Ringrunners of Sweden'', which according to rumour was a 5k option pack with the car (Thurs - Sat was their training on the Northloop).

If it had been the Espace F1, then the 'Ring would have exploded due to the sheer awesomeness of the cars circling it.
