I'm trying to check weather forecasts for this weekend's
race meeting, but I'm not sure what city is nearest the
Nurburgring. It's in the Eifel mountains, right ? is that
near Munich or Stuttgart ? (forecasts I've seen so far
for those cities show rain Saturday) :-)

Forza Schumacher! it's now or never...

It's fairly close to Cologne (Koln) and Bonn,in fact only about
90 miles south of Spa-Francorchamps,nowhere near Stuttgart or Munich.

Right.

Neither...nor...
It is near Koeln or Bonn (or Cologne / Bonn in English)

> rain-dancing as I type...
The weather at the Nuerburgring is rather unreliable...
It can change immediately.

Isn't it the same? ;-)

Theres a very nice place just about 10 miles from the track called Bad
neuenahr-Arweiler, were we camped out the last couple of years. First of
all they have rooms, and a great town with friendly people. Ideal. CU on
the race...when Mika Wins, cheer will you:-)

I think that the track is near the western border, which
is closer to Stuttgart than to Munich (which is in the south-
eastern part of Germany).

I'm just waiting for the first one to say Nuremberg.

Does anybody know exactly WHY so many people think the Nurburgring is
near Nuremberg even though it's about 150 miles away?

Well, it's Nurnberg actually (with those two dots above the u,
like in Husker Du) and my gess is that some people may get
confused by the similar spelling. (Borussia Monchengladbach
(dots above the o, like in Motorhead) had a hard
time to get people outside Germany to be aware that they
have nothing to do with Bayern Munchen (dots obove the u).

BTW it's a pitty that the u with dots obove it is not avoilable
on my (American) keybord, as it would give a nice smiley
(even better than ":-)", cause it doesn't lay on the side,
and the smiley's "nose" doesn't look that good anyway).
(Has it I really been me to make that comment?)

Now what was the relation to F1? Ah, the Nurburgring (dots!).
If anyone down in the Eifel or around this area reads this
post: It's the right time to start you rain dace, NOW!

BTW for people from the USA, Canada or Russia, 150 miles isn't
that far away, I bet.

Not that I don't other things to do ... :-)
