Yes more or less: I have had instructors beside me a few times before during track days, but this will be the first time on the Nurburgring.
Its not a complete course as such, but its more like that exerienced drivers will drive in front of a small group of 3-6 cars that will change position so that everyone has driven behind the instructor car at one time. Track is closed for normal Touristenfahrten and also closed (more importantly) for bikes.

Sounds like fun anyways! It will also be a great learning experience aswell and you will be more informed about the dangerous spots of the ring,although each car reacts differently to that aswell,but it will give you a good heads up on it.That would be course I would like to take aswell whenever my car is finished - the ring might be a museum by then

With this turbo, You'll need all You can get.
I allways say that money spent in sports-driving school and in brakes-shop are best spent. Nurburgring is tricky, even when you change speed - 10 km/h more, and that's completely another track. More bumps, asphalt change, and different way of driving. It's most challenging track in Europe, maybe even worldwide. Go on Wally, I'm with You on this turbo. What is Your horsepower expectation?

BTW The new turbo is not in it yet at all; it may even take until may 2011 probably as I am buidling a 1200 Challenge turbo T1 engine, but/because thats an entirely different 'challenge' for me The Borg-warner flows about 200 hp more then this Garrett, but i don't expect to be able to use that potential on the current engine. It would be interesting to see where its limits are though. Tomorrow's track-instruction-day is not only just cold, but probably mostly wet as well. To describe the Ring as 'tricky' in the wet would probably be an understatement... Lets hope we keep things in one piece.

Sounds like a great class to take. "The Ring 101".

Yeah, it was indeed s/th like Ring101 with a local theory night the week before organized by one of the enthousiasts.
I have completed about 5 pace-car laps' at mostly very slow speeds, which was great for concentrating on the ideal lines the front car was running. No bikes or overtaking faster cars to get distracted by either these days. Learned a lot today and with a perfect stay at www.ringpension.de the night before, it was a perfect closure of the season for me. Car ran great on the track and the 700 km back and to the Ring  Spotted:  Very slow cruising as you can see and what happens if you don't... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gptzSxWC36E

Hey Steve,
It was mostly a wet track, only partially dry and the Ring is very tricky in the wet. Now we also had some leaves on the track, some dry parts mixed with wet parts, so even more tricky.. Performance was on nobody's mind really Learned a lot about better lines though and that's what I came for. Greets, Walter
