And a CAGE! Don't forget the cage, because the 'Ring is the most unforgiving motor racing circuit in the world, with minimal run-off areas and lots of Armco barriers sitting mere feet from the road surface.

Many drivers have occasion to USE their cage at the 'Ring.

You were fortunate to have extra room when you fell off the road at Adenauer Forst. There is at least one youtube video comprised of nothing but crashes at that very spot. You did the right thing, by the way, to just allow the car to run off the road, rather than try to pinch it in. Many drivers roll their cars onto their heads at that point as they try to avoid running wide off the right side.

Glad to see you had a good time.
