    Help with Nurburgring

    I am in Switzerland now and am planning on driving up to the Ring tomorrow but the weather doesnt look great. Should I even bother? How is the Ring in the rain?

    partly VERY slippery, and i mean V E R Y !

    but well, do not count too much on weather forecast - the
    Eifel region has its own weather anyways ...

    have fun

    Drive SLOW and learn the track if it is wet. It is dangerous at speed, particularly on off-camber slippery corners.

    Which car are you going with? Are very, very cautious at the beginning, the amount of grip changes constantly and there are a couple of corners which are very tricky. Anyways, enjoy the trip.

    Might have been better to post this topic in the OT forum.

    Heck yeah do we have our own weather! It's so unpredictable here. Actually the weather pattern has changed a lot giving us some very unstable weather in the past years.
