37th Oldtimer Grand Prix Nürburgring 7-9 August 2009

Written by
There’s a saying: When you can’t see the Nürburg-tower, the weather is too bad for racing, when you can see it then it won’t be long before bad weather arrives.  Friday was a very warm and sunny day but by Saturday-morning the whole Nürburgring-Area was wrapped in a thick fog, so the organisation skipped all the morning action and decided to start racing around noon, but in fact the fog did not clear for the whole day, so practice and timing for the next races was cancelled. With visibility less than 100 meters at some points of the track racing was still dangerous. Many drivers took care, but some others drove like maniacs. Spectators could barely see the track from the grandstands, but the paddocks and many clubstands were accessible so many enjoyed themselves.
