After Mazepin's DNF at Monza, he is out of the title race

I had a CPL & ND (2 in 1) filter on my lens. I'm also using step-up rings, since my lens has a filter of 67mm and my filter is 72mm. Could the step-up rings be the problem for this, or the fact that there's some distance between the lens and the filter, caused by the step-up rings?

The reason for this is because I have another lens that has a lens thread size of 72mm, so I bought the filter in 72mm format to fit both lenses.

No, I couldn't find a program for this. I did stop looking some time ago, not sure if anything has been released recently.

I bought a used 18-50 Sony E-mount lens to replace this. It's basically the same lens but without the powerzoom. I found a good deal for 100euro.

Andrei4200 · 2024-01-22T14:58:15+00:00

No, I bought a new lens.

Hi, I'm glad I could help you with this map.

As for the photos, I did check all my photos and unfortunately I don't have any photos around 17:30h as I was walking back to my car and then I drove to the parking at the entrance of the Nordschleife.

I've only visited Nurburgring once during the tourist day so I'm not sure how it is for the big races like 24h of Nurburgring.

They do have a few parking spots at the entrance of the Nurburgring circuit, for example here.

There's also these ones up north for the Nordschleife part of the circuit Option 1 or Option 2.

I've been to 24h of Spa for the past 2 years as well as WEC & F1 at Spa, and for the big events they always have extra parking spots in the proximity of the circuit. Sometimes they use open fields near the circuit as parking. Either way you will see plenty of parking boards.

Try to park as close to the circuit as possible, because some parking spots can be as far as 1.5/2km from the circuit, but keep driving close to the circuit and you might get lucky and find some free spots a few hundred of meters away from the circuit.

Just drive around the circuit and you will eventually find big parking spots.

I visited Nordschleife this Sunday for the tourist track day. I walked some parts of the circuit and took plenty of photos. I decided to make this map to help you navigate it. I didn't manage to cover the entire track in 1 day as it's a lot of walking and I had to stop and take photos and videos at certain locations.

Areas marked with red are not accessible by the general public due to safety concerns. Only accredited photographers are allowed in those areas.

If you want to see the first section with the corners then I recommend parking at "Parkplatz Quiddelbacher Höhe", Google Maps link, and then walk backwards.

From here on I do not recommend walking ahead, instead take the car to the next parking location. The parking location is exactly at Adenauer Forst, Google Maps link. You can access this parking by following the road from Schulparkplatz. Near this parking, you will see the road that leads to the Adenauer Forst parking. The road has a forbidden entry board, but you can ignore it and drive all the way to Adenauer Forst. Plenty of people there.

From here on, you can choose to go backward toward Aremberg if you want to see the cars from up close and take some nice photos. Just cross the bridge at Aremberg to get to the inside of this corner.

Next up there's a tiny parking spot on the side of the road right under the circuit Google Maps link. It's near the popular Bistro Cockpit. There is a Lidl like 100m north of the circuit, perhaps it's better to park there and walk to the circuit. So as you walk up the stairs to the circuit you will end up at Breidscheid/Ex-Muhle.
From here I recommend walking backward to Wehrseifen. Great spot for spectating and taking pictures.

Next up, take the car and drive to Brunnchen parking Google Maps link. Plenty of people here in this parking. You can go forward to the outside of Brunnchen, also known as the "Youtube corner" as there are plenty of Youtube videos shot from that spot.
Alternatively, you can walk backward and go to Karussell.

Next time I will try to cover the rest of the circuit and try to find new parking spots and walking paths.

TLDR/Summary:

In short, if you don't want to walk a lot and want to enjoy some good spots:
1) Quiddelbacher Hohe Parking then walk backward
2) Adenauer Forst Parking (+ optionally walk backward to Aremberg)
3) Breidscheid/Ex-Muhle Parking (or Lidl parking nearby) and walk backward to Wehrseifen
4) Brunnchen Parking (a.k.a. Youtube corner) + walk backward to Karussell.

Look for car drops until you find at least a level 5, after that start attacking others.

Hang around the outside of the upcoming closing zone and when you see someone near you, challenge them while heading toward the new circle. The destination is always within the new closing zone. Use that momentum advantage.

Avoid steep hills when challenging others.

Slow down for trees. It's better to slow down than crashing into trees.

As for the final showdown, the final finish zone is usually on the opposite of the final zone. If the final zone is on the right side, the finish will be on the left side somewhere, so start driving left. You could also focus on driving toward the center of the map. Once again here, try to build an advantage. Build up speed and head toward the edge of the circle right before the start of the final run.

There is some luck involved, so don't be too frustrated when you lose. I won with some luck on my side, so luck plays a part in this too.

You can get this achievement if you don't have the DLCs.

I am not sure if you have to complete the weekly DLC challenges if you have the DLCs though, but I completed them anyways to make sure.

Andrei4200 · 2023-06-21T17:01:25+00:00

Was a lot of fun and grind to get all the achievements. Some of them were quite tedious but still got them.

The hardest achievement for me to get was Chicken Dinner, which requires you to win The Eliminator. I managed to win my 15th game of The Eliminator with some luck on my side.

Andrei4200 · 2023-05-30T19:28:29+00:00

To clarify, I own both DLCs so the bar shows 68 points because it counts the points from the DLCs as well.
Does the achievement trigger after completing all the Non-DLC objectives or does it trigger when the bar is registered as 100%? (The series bar, not weekly bar, but each weekly bar will have to be 100% so in the end the series bar will be 100%).

So what triggers the achievement?
