The subsequent morning in Nurburgring, we woke as much as what felt like torrential rain (on the time anyway) however none of that put a dampener on issues – at the moment we’d lastly get to go on the well-known Nurburgring Method 1 monitor at speeds of as much as 270km/h (roughly round 168m/h) which might be a primary for each of us.

I’m not the most important petrol head on the market however even I may respect how wonderful an expertise like this could be like.

There’s a lot memorabilia on floor price trying out right here, particularly in the event you’re even barely into automobiles.

With a free morning on our palms, we headed out to go watch the Method Truck (which is actually because it sounds; Method 1 however with vehicles).

However sure, the Method Truck. What an expertise! 😄

It’s so unusual to see vehicles racing that quick and that powerfully. I didn’t even know they might get to the speeds they did and the way they handle to not topple over once they navigated corners remains to be one thing of a thriller to me.

The race can also be set in opposition to the backdrop of the gorgeous Nurburg fort within the distance which I suppose provides slightly one thing to the proceedings.

While you’re right here, you possibly can truly go backstage to satisfy the racers/groups and hopefully get a photograph along with your fave (not that I had one on the time) however in the event you’re already into it, it’s such a terrific expertise to have the ability to see all features of it, not simply the racing.

Oh, by the way in which, there’s additionally like an amusement park/museum space right here with rides in it (simulators and stuff) price trying out.

That rain from earlier quickly disappeared although and what a distinction it made!

After grabbing a chew to eat and watching a couple of races, it was time for us to tackle the tracks ourselves.

We headed over to seize the racing fits we’d measured up for the day earlier than and hit these tracks.

I’ve gotta admit, I used to be nervous simply earlier than going. Paradoxically, in components due to the velocity however principally due to doubtlessly feeling nauseous from zipping across the corners each of which proved completely high-quality for me (there’s an entire video on right here the place you possibly can see each of our reactions) however not a lot so for Lloyd! 😆

Lloyd got here again pale-confronted – a lot to my amusement (unbeknownst to him, I’d been taking bets with the staff right here that he can be, though he appeared assured going into it).

All in all, although, it was truly sensible getting a primary-hand take a look at what Method 1 racers must undergo on one of the troublesome tracks in not simply Europe however arguably, on the planet.

We spent the remainder of the afternoon exploring Nurburg…

earlier than heading over to the diner subsequent door for a fast chew to eat in prep for an evening exploring the Method Truck competition.

See, the Method Truck isn’t simply concerning the racing and automobiles but additionally has an entire occasion at evening with bands taking part in, meals and drinks flowing and is simply sensible enjoyable!

Expectations may lead you to imagine that it could be a kind of issues that would get rowdy however that couldn’t be farther from the reality. It’s such a household centred occasion that cuts throughout genders and ages and so everyone seems to be out right here simply trying to have a good time. It was unbelievable and an excellent approach to end off a day that was positively filled with firsts for each of us.
