If you've driven the track on the playstation don't go out there thinking you can drive it the same. Playstation only shows gives you an idea of where the track goes, and once your there driving it for the first time you soon forget that. Gradiants and cambers of the track will catch you out. Is very costly if you do something wrong so take it steady!!

If you need any info on getting there or anything else give me a shout, been quite a few times now and going out again at the end of August.

Take it easy, don't take risks(as it will cost you if it goes wrong) and take pleny of euro's for the laps to get in as many as you can.

Yeah RAC recovery is not too bad, I've paid for that everytime before i've gone out. You could also get ADAC cover, which will get you off the track too if needs be.. Would have to check if you can still get that though as there was talk of them stopping it. Think ADAC would class as your european cover too.

I've looked at ADAC and its about 70euros for "european" cover which will get you back to the UK. But its not simple sorting it out lol.

Yeah i think it involves sending faxes with account details written on and things like that, there was a guide on Ben Lovejoys site at one point on how to sort it.
