    The ring is the greatest place in the world. I and many others are addicted and would sell a kidney to keep going there. It is very expensive to do regularly - why do you think I'm on this site? - but is worth every penny. However you really should not go into it unless you know what you are doing. I've seen people die right in front of me, and seen many people taken away by ambulance, helicopter, or just with their demolished car on the back of a recovery lorry.

    Do not underestimate the potential financial cost of a trip to the 'Ring. During a very recent trip there a friend of mine was charged 900 Euros for Armco damage, and I saw a Ferrari owner who had just caused about £10k worth of damage to his car then have to pay a 3000 Euro Armco bill. I counted myself very lucky to get away with a 175 Euro bill for the recovery fee, fortunately due to mecahnical failure rather than accident.
