Seeing the crashes makes me think I'd rather do some proper track days first before going there tbh. Everything else was good though 
Cause crashes don't happen on trackdays either? 
I take it you usually see the number 57 bus along with a car pulling the caravan at uk tracks as well when you come racing round a blind corner

This. I'm getting some next year.
Eck tbf I've personally never experienced a coach on track & only ever seen 1 going on track, but yeah I suppose in the wrong part of the track when you can't see far ahead it could easily catch you out. But then a car could spin out on a blind corner on a UK track and someone goes hurtling into it at 100mph, you just don't hear about it because it's not the Nurburgring, when do you ever hear people saying, 1000 cars went round the Ring today with 0 accidents, you don't because it's only the bad things reported.
I guess going on the Ring depends on your outlook of life tbh. Scared off by horror stories or just going balls deep and regret never having done it years ago.

Depends what you want Ben. Busy is good as there's always something to watch but for going on track it's not so great. An ideal trip to get both in is arriving on Fri/Sat morning and staying until the end of the week/midweek. That way the weekend is busy to watch and the weekday is quieter to get some laps in without so much traffic

Thought that was quite a good vid 
I did think drifting that E46 in the wet at the begining was going to end in tears though
Good job not everything is recorded in our vids otherwise a fish might be taking someone to court
