From Friday to Sunday (12 – 14 August) the Grand Prix circuit of the Nürburgring will revive motorsport history in more than 20 races and regularity tests. The legendary Nordschleife is part of the programme as well – classic vehicles will be seen there throughout the weekend. A special attraction for fans of the legendary circuit will be the Track Day on Friday offering ample on-track time for drivers and vehicles of various performance levels. This year a thrilling facet has been added to the programme featuring plenty of highlights to begin with, as the superbly preserved and restored historic rally vehicles of the ‘Slowly Sideways’ special-interest association will be featured for the first time. New as well will be a presentation drive on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of Porsche’s transaxle models. First-hand information for participants and fans will be available at Techno Classica (6 – 10 April, Essen Trade Fair Centre). The AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix stand can be found on Stand GA-105 in the ‘Galeria’. Two weekend tickets can be purchased there for 58 euros (equating to a 50 % discount) as a trade fair special.

Oldtimer Grand Prix Nurburgring Aug 12-14, 2016
One of my favorite events and on my calendar each year, the OGP! Info from yesterday's press release below. Not mentioned, but expected, are activities from BMW and BMW Classic to celebrate 100 Years of BMW. As soon as I have more info I'll update this topic! Curious? Click here for the 2015 topic. Not too many photos in there yet as the BMW Car article was delayed a couple of times but I promise to put a huge set of photos on line shortly.
Regards/groeten, Jeroen

Plus a lot (of Audi's).
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

A few more to keep you hungry for more... or so I hope hahaha
These ladies picked their favorite in the paddock
Impressive Porsche 935 biturbo tail in the pitlane
Guess what's getting ready as well?
Together with the always friendly German race legend Jürg Dürig
And a better one of the flaming Audi
Historic F1 action, lovely shot with all the pit boards and the attention of the crew on the wall
And the race action still has to be processed but we have a happy driver in the end!
