Hockenheimring 24 -25. May, 2013 This weekend is the annual Sport Auto (a German car magazine: www.sportauto.de) drift challenge and fastest lap around HockenheimRing. Sport Auto calls it: "High Performance Days". Its generally just a bad a$$ car show with a track day thrown in for good measure. All the German manufactures bring their museum and production cars for display. And then you have the drifting crowd that brings their machines to shred tires with! Its a great weekend car event. I went and toured the paddock area for a few hours Friday. The event is held all weekend a Hockenheim near Frankfurt/Heidelberg area. Here are my pics. Enjoy, Dackel www.sportauto.de

Thanks for posting the pix, Dak.
I didn't get to see any racing on Friday but the great weather, free admission, complete lack of crowds, and access to the pits more than made up for it. All was not lost, there were some hot lapping sessions for the drivers warming up and teams doing testing. It was interesting watching a BMW chasing a Skyline chasing a Corvette chasing an MP-12C. ![]() Hopefully next year I can make it out Friday AND Saturday. ![]()

Just an FYI: it cannot display the DCT gear. If it could I would have one. #firstworldproblems
