I'm not an expert on road surfacing and maintenance, but I'd be interested to see who is. This is the scene at Wehrseifen *right now*.

Yes, it's less than 24-hours before the first training session of the infamous Nürburgring 24-hour race. And less than 48-hours before the first qualifying!

I'm also aware that weather can play a big part in how well a surface is laid. Right now it's raining and hailing in between the sunny patches. And tonight there's a forecast for -2ºC and a frost.

Am I dramatising? Or is this actually a good idea?

That seems like a very bad idea to me rain is a bad thing and it needs to be at least 45F

Perhaps there'd been a diesel spill or a pothole in that area necessitating emergency repairs?

Or maybe they couldn't organise a p1ss up in a brewery!

Don't remember it being in a bad state over the weekend though. Wonder why it needed it.

Quoting 930Tech:

That's so they know where to put the cat's eyes for when they open 24-hours
