Friday at Autobahn

11:26 AM I have to say this is quite a nice facility here at the Autobahn Country Club, it's real open (and green) and from the media center you can see quite a bit of the circuit. There's eight different series running, Atlantic, SPEED World Challenge (two separate divisions), Star Mazda, Patron GT3 Cup, VW TDI Cup, Mustang Challenge and Mazda MX-5 Cup.

A shame the car count is down in the major classes - Atlantic has all of 11 cars, SPEED Touring Car 12. SPEED GT though still boasts a relatively healthy 20, including the debut of the TRG Mercedes-McLaren SLR 722.

And I will admit that I "gave in" or "sold out" to the Twitter phenomenon, depending on your perspective and whether or not you are a "tweeting" fanatic. It's as much a sign of the media times and needing to be up on it for news and sports updates direct from the participants as it is something I want to do.

There's much to learn about it, but by all means if you have the itch to follow, do so at twitter.com/tonydizinno. I'll be likely integrating links to each - this blog to that and vice versa - while incorporating report links on motorsport.com via the blog.

Stay tuned for updates here, on Twitter, and on motorsport.com this weekend from the Autobahn GP. Out for now, cheers.
