TimeOut

it looks like it is time for a new machine to create new crimes!

 


I also had a strange day but not as bad as yours.
I flew from Wob to Ingolstadt and had a rental car organized, a Golf 2.0, went on the motorway and the left driveshaft was sounding like a helicopter, the car had 3000 Kms,
stopped in the Munich airport and said that I had 5 hours to make 700 kms because of the time lost with the lousy car so give me your biggest engine, the guy started to talk about an Insignia, a Mercedes c class, I said I do not care just give me something with more than 300 Hp, He looked at me as If I was a lunatic, I told him to call his boss, I ended up with a Boxster, managed to arrive on time (5minutes before boarding) after a wild drive jumping constantly from a full flat out to a full braking , back at the airport , flew, and just arrived home, in Barcelona .
Need to sleep!

Ben, there's even a corkscrew à la Laguna Seca in it ! Actually, Mettet always has had a racing circuit but it was part of public roads (surrounding the new circuit), the long straights were so crazy they used to put a speedcam to check out topspeeds...

Very cool Bim, it looks like a short racing track. Is there a large grandstand for spectators? And is there plenty of space in the pits for repairs? Regards, ED-209

Lay-out of this circuit ...

 
By: bimbeano : April 9th, 2010-00:02
.... is a bit like the circuits in the north of France .... small, little accomodation and parking space. Though it was just opened i think the work isn't quite finished yet. I don't think there will be a grandstand for spectators, if so , it will be a ve...
