VLN 8 2018 Autumn Leaves.

3 Days at the Nurburgring.
Might sound a short time, but it was absolutely relaxed. The weather was great and the leaves were already changing their color.

The Nurburgring is very important for the region Rhineland-Palatine.
Of course the Track is managed like a bussines. Between the end of March and end of October the track is booked  almost daily. The Thursday I was there, the track was hired by a Motorsport Club.

It also give photographers the possibility to make a business of photographing all cars.

At the Ring you can also do a taxi drive. Companies offer a full speed drive with an experienced driver in a fast car around the Track.

And almost every evening, the track is open for the famous Touristen Fahrten.

But then again, for the spectators there is still the possibility to watch the cars for free, during practice and big part of the track are also free of entrance for VLN races.

Saturday is raceday for the 4 hours of VLN8. A few photos taken in the pits and on the grid.

the video shows BMW driver Augusto Farfus preparing for the 4 hours. Without a Co-Driver, he was testing the BMW M6 GT3 for next years race: the 24h of the Nurburgring.

It took some bandaid and gaffer tape, but this Aston Martin made it to the Finish.

I think this was it for 2018. I dont know what will happen in 2019. We will see.
