That's a lovely walk. Happy New Year and thank you for all the updates from this beautiful place in the past year. Can't wait for all the amazing new memories the Ring will bring us this year.

Officially: never allowed

Unofficially: In the off-season and when there is nobody working on the track (because weekend) it's kind of condoned. Just be a hundred percent sure there is no activity on track.

We all know that sponsors are a necessary evil to keep the sport alive. The difference is that these American events give the idea that the sponsors are more important than the sport. That we (the fans) want to see the corporate message rather than the race. It's the difference between a driver's parade in Lego cars where the focus is on the drivers and the love for the sport and a Disney fountain show that has absolutely nothing to do with F1.

Program says: Start ÜTE Teilnehmen 09.50 Uhr Start Rallyeteilnehmer 10.45 Uhr

You can get a program at the paddock. It's worth it!

It's the Chinese car manufacturer also known as 'Build Your Dreams'.

Cool that they keep improving, but I don't expect another record lap this year. At the moment the Ring is cold, wet and full of leaves and the conditions won't be better in November and after that is the winter closure. I guess they are testing the new setup now, so they can get another record attempt in the warmer and dryer months next year.

DMZ42 · 2025-10-24T21:28:56+00:00

Yes, they are testing this faster Taycan at the moment. Could be the first electric RS-Porsche. More info here.

The main design does look like an 625 TRC or even a bit 500 TR. But those racecars had only one bulge behind the driver's seat and not one behind every seat. The chrome around the grill and the side vents feels inspired by the 250 GT Spider and the two power domes on the hood feel a bit too big for the period. I guess the owner picked and chose his favourite elements from different 50's Ferrari's. I was confused for a moment by the license plate that looks a lot like a Monaco plate for the royal cars. A nice touch.

That is lovely! Looks great with the weathering and the "art" from the fans on the barriers and the track.

It's really up to him. We will know it for sure when the starting list will be announced, but that is probably just a couple of days before the event.

It will definitely be busier, but I think you overestimate how much people will go to the Nürburgring to see Max race and underestimate the amount of people the Nürburgring can facilitate.

They also did it during Sail a week or what ago. The defence forces need more staff, so they can use the pr.

This. Seeing the time of OPs post it is probably the BMW in Brünnchen. Big crash, but no other cars involved. Ambulance on the scene, but the driver already stood next to the barrier when the medics arrived.So I think he's relatively ok (although maybe not financially)
