“If anyone gets a chance to go and see it, please tell me all about it!”

… won’t they let you into Germany then Keith?!

Perhaps you can wangle a trip as a fact finding mission for your mates at Sky Sports!

I don’t think ive ever heard of anything so amazing, a holiday to Germany just got a lot more attractive..

Am I missing something here or why does it have a cooling fan? Is it an old Brabham perhaps…
And rocker covers? Do we need those for pneumatic valve springs?
Btw, that picture looks like a V10 or V12 to me.
I would still love to see it but I’m a bit confused.

more specifically the Eifel Mountains area.

haha, yes, if you do that could you please put a transcript on this site of the arguement you and your wife has after you’ve “accidentally” turned into the Nordschleife, going round in circles at 90 miles an hour.

You should really stop and ask for directions Terry, maybe ask that speeding Audi, he’s seems to know where he’s going?!

The final interactive exhibit going on show touches on motor racing history by allowing visitors to climb into the seat of a 1950s Alfa Romeo F1 motor car that raced around such famous tracks as the Brooklands circuit in the UK

Now that’s something that I’d like to try out.
Someone go get some pics and post them back here.

Is development on the exhibit frozen and the revs limited?

Good luck.

Awesome.Does it mean that F1 will stay in Nürburgring for quiet some time.

That is without doubt… the coolest thing I have seen all year.

I am going to start suggesting to my wife that we do Europe next year,
specifically Germany,
more specifically the Eifel Mountains area.
