If you want to view some pics of the Nurburgring, try the following:

http://home.sol.no/~espenm3/Pictures_from_Nordschleife.html

There are loads of pictures including a collection of cars going round the
Karussel.  I have got to the stage of being able to memorise the 'Ring (best
time about 8:38, so still not too good.....!), and I found it great to look at
the real photos and to be able to recognise most of them from GPL!  I actually
went to the 'Ring whilst in Germany last year with the intention of driving it
for real, but it was closed on the day I was there :-(((((((((  That was a very
sad day, but I did get to see some parts of the old track from the public
roads.  That 2 mile straight is awesome!

Hope someone finds this useful!
