The public sessions or Touristenfahrten as they call it in these parts runs daily from 17:15 to 19:30. So with a slight feeling of impending doom we decided to head down arriving at the entrance at about 16:50. We parked up and the car park rapidly started filling up and we set about checking out the kind of metal that the locals used.
Supercars certainly weren't the order of the day (apart from the numerous Porsche GT3's) but instead there was quite a mix including M series BMWs, several of which were modified e36's, and a whole host of other cars that were obviously heavily modified for track use. None of which made me feel any better about taking my standard (other than a stiffer rear anti roll bar) Octavia round. After a while though I spotted a Nissan Note, Citroen C3 and a Merc B class which made me feel a little better!
I think it is fair to say you can put yourself in one of two categories, those that are worried about being held up by other cars and those that are worried about holding others up... for many reasons we classed ourselves as the second group so once the Nissan GT-R that was testing came in and the huge rush for the track set off we hung back.
As the car park emptied and the road to the toll was now empty there was no other reason we could find to put it off any longer!
