That's the one Dave!
I only know Brunchen
Report on the Ringers forum a while back that someone got fined, but not sure where on the Ring.
PS - you know your name is still down for Spa?

Technically the speed limit is Briedschied. By the time you get to ex-muhle (the uphill righthander) you're past the speed limit. And it's because people can come on the track there and they're not going as quick as you.
I've seen the speed camera there, and if you follow the viper (soon to be Aston Vantage N24) it slows down through that section.
As for the tyres, it's only TF (Touristfahren) ie laps with the tickets that are going to have the non Cup/R888/A048R. Track days will allow whatever they want and they are available. And you get the bonus of doing a full flying lap including the boring Dottingen Hohe straight, although it then makes Tiergarten and Antoniusbusch much more interesting so I'm told.
And tyres like Dembo's track tyres will still be legal (assuming you're still using whatever it was you experimented with Dave) and probably Kumho V700. They have plenty of tread and were awesome tyres probably the equal of R888's.

There's a speed limit, which everybody ignores. I did hear a rumour that once they put an actual speed trap, but they told everybody about it first to make sure nobody would be caught.
