Nürburgring 2009/2010

O.k , Just a sneak preview what i have planned for next year

Will involve a 4-5 day trip to the legendary 'RING', all the re-search has been done (as some of you already kno!!).
It wil possibly be the beginning of the show season -between APRIL- JULY.

So everyone i would like to know Who is GENUINELY interested - THIS WILL BE GOING AHEAD

We wont need any deposits for a while yet until we set THEE actual dates

Arrgh hell yeah was thinking of this to celebrate my big 4-0 (yeah i hear you sniggering!)

So how about 2nd week in May???

i should be down for this! good plan fitz!

see wat car im driving and moneys but if they are all good then im there !

Def up for this one!, Ill start saving now!!!

Would like to do this, will make me get off me ass and get the scirocco ready.

Early May there's a massive Public session on the Ring... Loads of Brits go over En-Masse... Just waiting for the 2009 dates to be confirmed to me...

Nearest Hotel is £40 /person per night B&B and is next to the Ring, and apparently you can make it there on one tank of gas two up with luggage (in a BMW328I touring!).

So who's up for this?

Will mean an early Fri-Morning leave (4am) to get first Chunnel service, and then leave the Ring Tuesday Lunch to be home Tuesday night!

Yes yes yes!!! I was gutted i was away for the last track day so count me well in!!

Deviant..............Dont rush and SLOW down , i have already got accomadation and everything planned,

Leave it to me............i'm on it.

i want to get everyone who wants to come..... to either come over mine or we will go 2 meet /pub and discuss the dates EVERYONE can do!

i will keep this thread running for other people who want to join in before i start finalising everything like dates etc

im really interested in this fitz! what il do is put this topic as a sticky, as its a big upcoming event, and easy to locate the thread

try and keep spam/non related to a minamal peoples lol

gets so confusing otherwise

Something ive always wanted to do but i will have a new edition to the family and will have to see what happens....

Although this is still months away we may as well get it up now so that people can make arrangements and save some money for the trip.

and definately a warning triangle.

I'm so up for this, bit scared about doing a 1.5k round trip in a car that's supposed to have new plugs every 500 miles and oil every 1k tho... And then when I get there I'll be pottling round the 'ring trying not to get suckered into thinking I know the track just because I've played PGR4 too much (although I did do the one in the snow with the 1930s racer the other day )

I'm easy in terms of dates, so keep the thread updated as dates start to settle?

The times I have gone, I stayed at a B&B round the corner with a fully kitted garage. It was a comfort to know we had the space to work if required.

However, I was a softy and didn't consider camping.
