On Tuesday, February 21st, Odeon cinemas are showing (for one night only) a documentary film about the Nurburgring, the German racing circuit called 'The Green Hell' by Sir Jackie Stewart. From what I have read, there's a lot of historic racing footage and interviews and the two-hour film is narrated by Murray Walker. I haven't been to a cinema for over ten years but I'm making an exception for this - popcorn anyone?

Buy all your goodies elsewhere beforehand.....otherwise the cost will exceed the ticket price, by a fair margin!

Or you can do it in 7 mins and 10 secs on a Kawasaki, which was the fastest until a new Porsche did it in 6 mins and 59 secs.

Porsche 918 beautifully set up. I'd sit beside this guy but no way would you get me on the bike!
Cheers,JD.

I assume everyone has seen this one. It's more of our era.
