In the mid eighties I was driving my Porsche Turbo from Stockholm, Sweden to the Genua boatshow in Italy. I was going to stop in Paris for the 6-hour boatrace on Seine as well so I was on a part of the Autobahn I was not so familiar with. At an "umleitung" I found myself in a pile-up of cars on a smaller road and at a T-cross a police-man pointed at my car and said I should go off the main road. I was a little confused but drove on until I suddenly was at the Nürburgring where the locals was invited for a trackday! The F1-circuit was just built and before the first race they probably wanted cars to even out the surface? I am not sure, but I was driving around the circuit for an hour or two with a bunch of other fast and not so fast cars. A nice and unexpected experience!
In Paris the day after, I could see my partner from the Offshore racing circuit, be the overall winner of the 6-hour race, not bad!
