Germans on track

Germans on trackIf the thought of an errant Caterham bursting through the door puts you off the idea of taking your M3 on track, then new firm German Track is organising the sort of track day you’re after. As the name suggests, their events are limited to German cars, which should avoid the track being littered with broken TVR and Lotus debris for a start. The firm is aiming to create a club-style atmosphere with a selection of similarly matched cars, but novices are encouraged to attend and take advantage of the tuition facilities, with professional drivers on hand for advice.

Running an open pit lane format means you can spend as much or as little time on track as you like, while numbers are limited to 70 cars at a time to give you plenty of space to keep out of the way of the serious road warriors.

The events will all be held on proper circuits too, rather than airfield venues which should make for a smoother surface and less potential for damage to the car. German Track’s first event kicks off at Snetterton on February 25, with more events being confirmed as we went to press. More details from www.germantrack.com.

Good news for fans of all things AC Schnitzer comes with the move of the official import franchise for the UK from BMW(GB) back to Norfolk-based Rossiters – the firm which originally introduced AC Schnitzer to us back in 1989. Read more>
Ring Record
Our own Nürburgring record is a bit, er, chequered (one Porsche, one 328i and one 730i have bitten the dust there in our hands in recent years...) so we take our hats off to Swedish firm Loaded. Read more>

Superspeed X5
If your brand new X5 isn’t quite loud enough, get on to Superspeed and ask for their new exhaust system. The full stainless system comes with a choice of no less than 145 tailpipe styles and is a proper dual set-up too. Read more >

Winter Safe
Over in Europe, BMW Driver Training offers some superb winter driving courses but they’re a bit thin on the ground here. Read more >

Hat-Trick For Priaulx!
We may have given up on football and Hamilton may have just missed the F1 title, but in the world of touring cars Britain still has a hero in the shape of BMW pilot Andy Priaulx. Read more >
