It was only about 45 minutes from where I was staying for work (Koln). Unfortunatly it was really late in the season (end of November) so there were only a few cars out but it was still nice to just drive around the inside of the track and check out the different sections. I was actually able to walk down a little path and got through the fence and was able to walk right out on the track. I def. want to go back again. > > Talk to Boxer… last I knew, his sister lived over there and could possibly show you around when you go. i drove a rental around those countries and the ones near them last year, i put like 3500 miles on the car. Still pissed I missed the ring tho. > [@My Winter Build (not a Car) UPDATE 11/24\*\* ♪DONE♪\*\*More Pics](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-winter-build-not-a-car-update-11-24-done-more-pics/42660/60): > > As far as I know, there really aren’t that many multiple car accidents on the ring. Yes, there are probably multiple single car incidents, but when I was over there I got talking to one of our guys in the shop and he was saying that he goes there frequently and that there really aren’t that many big accidents. > > You would shit yourself at the way people drive over there. NOBODY is ever in the left lane. Hell, I was afraid to be in that lane for any more than 2-3 seconds… lol. We had a little Mercedes 1 series diesel for our rental that only did about 110mph max. I had that little sucker maxed out on the way to Paris and I was getting passed like I was standing still. Plus on the highways (including the ring) if you are in the left lane and you get hit from behind it is your fault for not yielding the right of way. Driving over there is a whole lot different than here. Yep, the car i had rented hit 120-125 mph but i got it to do 135ish down hills LOL big POS the car was tho, it was new at least. I think it was a vauxhall, can’t remember. I was driving in the left lane for most of my time on the highways in france tho, i didnt pay a damn single attention to any speed limits at any time. Well in switzerland I did because it felt like the police were out and about in their cars more. There was a bunch of times tho i had to GTFO the way and over to the middle when some other cars , mostly porsches came flyin by… I tried to stay with them while cruisin around 120 but didnt work out had it like that for 15-20 minutes at a time :lol --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/8-car-accident-on-the-ring/260692)._
