TEAM ORION SPEED WEEK IN GERMANY
 

I wanted to start a thread letting everyone know of the next big race going on. The event will be this weekend, I have the honor of being the race announcer and this will be my first time Germany so I am really excited.

All of the top drivers from throughout Europe and some drivers from Japan will be attending making for a very competetive field. Depending on the internet availability, I will do my best to update as much as I can. You can go to the website for all the information about the race , it is

I am off the the airport for the trip.
I am going to stay over on Monday and Marc and Toni are going to take me to the Nurenburg ring F-1 track and we will do some other sight seeing. I want to drive on the Autobaun!
I will do my best to keep you updated.

Talk to you from Germany.

Good luck Scotty.

If you meant the Nürburgring F1 track then here you can find more info about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BCrburgring

Forget the autobahn, you need to drive the race track.

they need to get back to racing there :(.

edit: yes i know they do, but i'm referring to the big track.

you can search for some motorcycle video of guys on the track. cool stuff.

I think it's going to be a verry nice event... Cant wait to get there :sneaky:

They actually still race on the Nordschleife (the big track you mention). Mostly 24 hour races.

Btw...scotty...this is how us europeans do racing...on the nordschleife...the most fearsome race track in the world: http://www.jb203.com/Events/Personal...urburgring.wmv (53mb)

Jan, suddenly I feel strangely aroused. :lol:

Here's a cool video I found some months ago... :sneaky:

Well, things are all ready to go for practice tommorrow. Most of the guys arrived tonight and the track looks great. We will be running both 19turn and Modified. the layout is a good mix of technical and flowing. The control tires is CS27 additive is open just no smell.

Tommorrow is practice all day with quals starting on Sat, We will have internet at the track, so I will do my best to update as much as I can.

As for going to the Nur. Ring, Plan is to go there on Monday and they said for 20 Euros you can take your car on it and do a lap! I am there. Hopefully Marc will let me borrow his car so I can do it!

See you tommorrow.
