any local guys to the ring got any further update on the weather there, a lot of ppl here nervously watching the weather forecasts and wondering if it'll be open for easter/2nd april......

 

I'm local 'ish' and yes the snow will be melted by the time you arrive, however I don't think they will finish the track repairs in time.

My advise would be to re-scedule, to avoid disappointment.

Better to be safe then sorry, otherwise you have a wasted trip.

 

according to the weather forecast it should be 6C next week.....

 

I live next to the track.

Here's what I've just posted on the Ringers list, it's looking better by the day.

>Rain rain rain rain. :-)

The snow is going very quickly indeed and Claire watched a snow plough going round the track yesterday whilst walking the dog!! I've never seen that before! I guess they *really* want the track to open for easter. :-)

Cheers,
Karl.

 

Weather from Koblenz:

Melting snow, rain, 4C

You might be in luck

 

yeah - ive got the fingers crossed - as has just been mentioned, the reckoning here is that they cant afford not to have it open for Easter, it'll be a busy weekend and they'll lose sooo much cash if its not open.......

 

hi everyone got the ferry booked for the bank hol w,end anyone got any news on the weather ie track snow surface etc etc, thinking about maybe shooting to say through the alps to chamonix instead if all goes **** up not really wanting to cancel must be something we can do in europe for a few a long w,end anyone got any suggestion????????? craig

 

Had plenty of snow this morning. But forecast say it should be warming up by middle of next week.

 

They have said that the track will definately be open for the VLN endurance race this weekend.

So I guess that means it will be open to the public, and me, next weekend then

Here is the track at the moment. (13th)

 

Hot temps predicted for next week.

Think you will be OK for easter.

 

I can see a dry line emerging

 

That pic was not taken on Sunday.

 

Thats the info I was given, you can see where the dry line 'WAS' on Friday.

Much better now though, will try and find a more recent one.

Lovely day here today and +18°c forecast for tomorrow! Bring it on.

 

Were they working on the track yesterday Karl?

We are still planning on seeing you this Saturday

The first VLN cars were trailered through Adenau yesterday afternoon.

 

Get your deck chairs out!

 

Hoping to catch the last bit of the race but it depends how long it takes to drive my 15 year old clutter the 275 miles from Calais.

Gary

 

Gary, I just been talking to your confused compadre, make sure you don't want anything doing to your bag of berets at RR this weekend, it's the first VLN and they'll be very busy.

 

I am trying to get it booked in locally!

I just had a nightmare that I would be barping down towards Aremburg and my long brake pedal would get a bit longer!

 

Lost me there matey???

I dont need any work doing to my old clutter. Just want to hand the keys over on sunday afternoon and let them look after it till I come back 2 weeks later.

Gary

 

That'll be fine then.

 

I assume we will see you wandering round wearing a dress???

My big brother is coming over so I will get you to take him out for a lap ....... i never did like him


Gary

 

 

Have to sort a beer out with you too winkle ....

Gary

 

I dont think thats a good idea!

Remember what happened last time!

 

Well you wont remember for sure because you fell asleep
