I would agree most first timers will find it very exhausting.

I have got the ok from my other half so in the words of Marvin Gay LETS GET IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mav, what a great idea!!

If you did get the other Ducati clubs (Germany/Holland etc) involved as previously mentioned it could be a new beginning of a huge event!

We all missed WDW this year due to its cancellation, so if this took off backed also by Ducati itself, it could easily be a fantastic event for every 2 years!

Good luck, and provisionally stick us down for at least 2 bikes and 2 or 3 riders

I am up for this. Not interested in the race idea as I cant see that happening. But as an open pit lane track day I think it would be very special indeed. Mav if you can give some idea of likely costs etc I think you would be onto a winner. Would it be Ducati only? Only asking as I could probably get a few people to come but not on Ducatis.

Just out of interest, when was the last time racing of any sort took place there?

1983 i think. Correct me if i am wrong.

To put this in context. In 1974 the motorcycle racers, who were still racing the TT mountain circuit, boycotted the Nordschleife because it was too dangerous and the car drivers started making unhappy noises. In 1976 Niki Lauda was seriously injured and the end came shortly after that.

Last bike GP at the nordschleife ,1980 i think.

A time trial or track day round the 'ring Mav, excellent idea!
You can count me in so long as I don't have to get held up in the corners by any gixxers

Now then, when can I get some practice
