    If they closed the Ring when wet, it would rarely be open Smiley

    It is wet on at least some part of the track almost every day (definitely every week).  Rather than "4 seasons in one day", on the Ring you often get "4 seasons in one Lap"  Smiley  

    And when I was at Spa in April, we had alternating snow and sun 4 times in the course of one track day - even made Denver weather seem tame in comparison...

    One of 4 stints of snow:

    First time at Imola for me as well. Will be a nice challenge, since I’m not doing the sports cup, but the Cup Challange I.e. no ABS......😱🤪🤪 Even start/Finish “strait” is a left turn when breaking from 270 kph. 

    Got a shit load of information from Manthey regarding the track and has just starting studying it. So far, it’s not boosting my confidence

    Re: Dave and Gnil @ Nürburgring Nordschleife

    Imola is a great track . Just need to learn the correct line , specially at the top coming down . 

    What is very enjoyable about the place is that the track is '' in town '' , so you basically walk from the track to some nice local restaurants in the old town . What can be better indecision

    I ll miss not being there this year  !

    Looking great Gnil ! These are the perfect surroundings for the green Lizard. Switzerland in spring looks absolutely beautiful. Was it still warm in the evening? It looks like it was.

    No, it's only the spokes (not the rim where you put your hands):
