Question for the Euro dudes: does the graffiti on the Ring change the road surface enough to notice? Seems to have gotten a lot more paint coverage in the last 5 years.

some of them do, yes. But not that much, that "the line" would go around them.
They change the tarmac from time to time, and the paint wont last very long.

But there are so many different Tings you have to be careful. Some parts of the track can be super dry and hot, and some other parts are still wet and slippery.
On some corners there are trees next to the track, and leaves and all that stuff from the trees can also be dangerous.
And you have different sorts of tarmac.

one lap is about 13 miles, and 290 meters difference in altitude (is that the right word?).

"Elevation" is better there, but I got the idea :) Thanks, makes sense definitely. With all things considered Im sure some paint on the road is not the biggest thing to worry about.

Haha that's the exact reason I took those pictures, knew you'd want them. I can shoot you the full ones through an e-mail possibly. If you send me your e-mail I'll see if I can get them to send.
