First Released in 2015, and originally not available for YouTube, this is the film we made of our first trip to the ‘Ring and Spa. Little did we know that this film would spawn annual trips in all the years to follow and we’ve taken many of our fans on a refined all-inclusive version of what you see here. But this was our first time at these tracks, and our unfiltered first impressions. Join Todd and Paul, our local fan and fixer Tom, and our cameraman Edgar as we bumble our way through a European Track experience. Plus, we spend time with Gemballa, the legendary tuning company that was in a tumultuous reworking at the time of this film.
This film was originally only available on BluRay or Amazon Prime streaming, but we’re now bringing the entire film here to YouTube. Join us for a trip that changed our trajectory.
