How long would it take to drive there from the UK and roughly what would it cost with 2 people in the car? (forgetting fuel, I mean like using the eurostar etc)

Cheers

Just under six hours from Surrey. Eurostar used to be about £140.00 for Club Class.

Are you interested in driving the track or taking part in an illegal Rally?

Karl 227

Or perhaps the odd trial?

davegtt

Niether, weighing up the cost of flights against the cost of driving to germany for next June

davegtt

But whilst we're on the subject How much does it cost to take the car round the track, wouldnt mind doing that and if Nuremburg is on the visit list I may aswell ticket it off the list whislt Im there.

Eurostar is the passenger train, you want Euro Tunnel? That will be between £100 - £150 depending on the times you choose. Check prices here:- http://www.eurotunnel1.com/direct/bo...ey.asp?lang=en

I can get to Nurburgring* between 5-6 hours normally. And will fill up once at Calais, then again at the beginning of Germany, so 2 tanks worth basically.

*P.S. Dont confuse Nuremberg with 'the ring'. From Calais I would say to get to Nuremberg would be about 7 - 7.5 hours.

Are you getting confused between Nurnberg and Nurburg because they're not close.

Brendan Hughes

Look, does anyone in this thread know what they're talking about?

Flatcapdriver

If you're looking at going to Nuremburg by car I wouldn't bother as it's a bitch of a journey if you go via Luxembourg and even though there isn't a direct flight I'd still take the plane.


If you're after Nurburging then it's nowhere near Nuremburg and you'd need a car if you want to go round. I combined the two a few years ago on the way out and it was knackering.

Hoverspeed can do deals for about £50 return, but book early. When you get to the other side it should take between 5 and 6 hours. Depending on your route.
Via Belgium, Holland and Germany about 6 hours, Antwerp is a bitch at the mo, Roadworks!
Through France via Chaleroi etc about 5 hours again crap traffic can hold you up.

I can e-mail both routes if you need them.

If you go to Nürnberg at this time of year be sure to visit the wonderfull christmas market, you should also get some Lebkuchen

38 squid on the channel tunnel last time i went once you are in france its a quick blast that can be done in one go. i think i did it in 4.5 hours.

davegtt

lol oh ok got Nuremburg confused with the ring then defo want to go to Nuremburg not the ring

Karl, wont be going this time of year, next June it is

Karl 227

Are you ill?

davegtt

lol I want to go to the ring yes but thats not on next years destination list.... The world cup is on man and thats where Im heading for

davyboy

Ah yes the world cup, a good excuse for the thiko nuckle draggers to go and sing songs about the war, and smash up local bars.

Karl 227

Just say it like you think it Dave, don't hold back

davegtt

yeah thats right, we're gonna go over there and trash germany for a few weeks

davyboy

Would you bet against it NOT happening?

Nope, thought not

davegtt

erm, you might get the odd idiot but the amount of people who are out there for a good time to watch the football compared to trouble causers is a big difference....

Look at the turks etc if you want to talk about fighting and causing trouble at football matches, unless off course your just the average press reader.

Flatcapdriver

If you're going there to watch football, then I'd have thought you'd be better off flying rather than risk your car with UK plates. After all, it's not just the UK that has mindless hooligans attracted to football is it.

davegtt

Good shout, but it means hiring a car and adding more expense

Flatcapdriver

Nuremburg is not that big. You could use a looser cruiser instead - they're cheap.

davegtt

a looser cruiser???? lost me there?

I'll be going to Frankfurt too and maybe Cologne.... theyre fairly big, I just asked for distance etc of Nuremburg because tis the furthest away....

Cheers for the help

Flatcapdriver

Looser cruiser = bus/coach.

davegtt

thats for losers lol

Not a bad idea but couldnt be doing with sitting on a coach for 24hours driving might be the better option I think still, the car would be parked in a hotel car park most of the time Id guess so it'd be fairly safe... £138 for the eurotunnel split between 3 people is fairly cheap. just need a car that doesnt sup fuel to get us there now
