Also the opening times are getting worse every year. In October the track is only open 10 days, and on some of these days only for one hour! Had to vent, sorry
Yeah, I completely agree. The parking situation once it gets very busy is really catastrophic. I had to park on that field and it took me more than 30 minutes to get on the track, and then (twice!) it was closed again after only one lap, and it took more than 20 minutes to get out. Really annoying.

This site keeps a list of the photographers an when their sites were last updated :

http://www.ringportal.nl/en/photography

I found some of me from Saturday on pistonspy.com and have used that site before. Highly recommended.

Here's one of the photos of me in my old E46 M3 from Saturday

some of the photos look like a bunch of clowns going for a sunday drive...

I'm guessing there are no Helmet and passenger regulations??

You're so lucky to have such a great track... but I am suprised at the quality of cars and drivers going through it

What's wrong with a sunday drive?

The 'Ring is a public (toll) road, so although helmets are recommended, they're not mandatory.

As far as the quality of cars and drivers is concerned...it's rare to see a denser concentration of fast (and expensive) cars elsewhere. That also contributes to the atmosphere of the place which is quite unique. On Sunday there was an Apollo Gumpert there - you should have seen that...!!!
