Just got back in. Mike gave me and Jim a lift from Nurburg to the ferry. Got a train from Margate after a spirited ride from dover to Margate in Ben's Subaru.

Jim's oil temps got high on the ring. He said Rich does my engine sound funny and I said yes. Was going to try and limp it back but the noise worsened and we pulled over. Ring Marshalls came and took Jim to the office and i stayed with the car until the break down people turned up. Checked the oil after the marshalls had disappeared and was hardly any oil on the dip stick. When checked again at hotel car park it was just above minimum. My guess is oil surge in the hard corners at high revs which run one or more of the bearings dry on the crank. I think Jim will get another engine as its a cracking car

Had a brilliant time and cant wait to go back.
