The Germans will not close the track all day for a fatality. Two died when we were there . Two bikers had come off one dead on scene the other pronounced dead in hospital. I think they closed the track for as long as it took to clean the oil & stuff up. Then cars are aloud out & when they think its safe for the bike's there out.This may sound callous unfortunately it's expected. As said by Spooky use common sense & a bit of respect. Treat it as a bit of a giggle rather than thinking your the fastest there it's fun. If things look like there getting to involved back off a bit. One of the guys who came with us last year still talks of how much fun he had when at the Ring. He drives a std type r civic. Track knowledge is everything you will be wondering why a mk 2 golf is coming past you {in my case a 67 mini van} the locals know every inch of this place,so when they want to come past let them. The fun of this trip is on the way there, The hotel {worzel palace} is fantastic going on the Ring is just a bonus. So again dont treat it to seriously. Just like the road you can only go quick when you can see it's safe to do so. AMen.
