This aimed at those going for the first time:
1. Treat your first lap as if you're driving a road you've never seen before (don't go thinking it's the same as it is on a computer screen)
2. Watch your mirrors at all times
3. Expect the unexpected round every corner
4. If running a Top Mount Intercooler do not try and max it on the Autobahns or you'll be completing the trip on the back of an ADAC truck.
5. Be prepared to be amazed by the area, it really is a beautiful part of the world.
6. Take a little box of sundries, cable ties, fuses, hose clips, self tapping screws and a few basic tools.
7. Enjoy it, it's a great trip with a great bunch of people, great food, good beer and very nice white wine.
8. Don't feel you have to follow everyone else, no one minds if you want to go and explore by yourself and those that have been before will be more than happy to direct you to places that are nice for first timers.
