Nurburgring - Easter 2005
 

I'll be going over on 24th March, back on 28th March.

If anyone fancies it, the train is £119 Return.

Quite a few people are going over and we are meeting them there. However if you fancy joining our little convoy then stick your name down.

Any questions steve@the-nurburgring.co.uk

1) Maddog Ferry & Hotel Booked
2) Maddog son Ferry & Hotel Booked
3) NeVeTaS Train & Hotel Booked
4) Fromage Train & Hotel Booked
5) Pavlo Train & Hotel Booked

There are going to be literally thousands of cars over there ....... I hope you dont mind queues. Not a good choice of dates IMHO

I'm going just to take pictures, so ideal choice for me :)

Nev, I will strap you into my car and you can take some on the way round :thumb:

Not long now ( next month ! )

regards "MADDOG" :D

Best hope the snow stops so that they can re-surface it then :)

Bring it on, perhaps they could put a slalom on going through the "Fox Hole" :norty: I've also known it to snow in May !!!! You never can tell ? adds to the excitment.....I hope :)

regards "MADDOG" :D

Karl 227, what part are they re- sufacing ?

regards "MADDOG"

Quidellbacher Höhe, a little bit at Metzgesfeld and at Brünnchen. They're also changing some old kurbing halfway down Fuchsröhre, and paving the Adenauer Forst run-off area. The problem is that they've taken off the old tarmac but it's been too bloody cold to resurface it ever since. :mad:

thanks for the info Karl 227

regards "MADDOG"

I was there last week, and the snow was fun. :)

Gary, did Karl tell you this ? or is it on a "Ring" website ? just in case I need to cancel my ferry / hotel booking.

many thanks "MADDOG"

Havent spoken to Karl about it but I know its the case.........

I'm going out on the 20th, was supposed to be watching the VLN and driving the track on Sunday, before leaving the car there and flying home. The chances of the track being open are looking ever increasingly slim though. I'm sure Karl will be along soon enough to give an update.

I will still be coming over though Karl ...... even if its to walk / sled the track.

Gary

thanks Gary

regards "MADDOG"

Wow, we *never* get snow over here. That looks fun!!

Sorry chaps/chapesses & Gary, but I don't think it's going to happen. :( The problem is that they still have at least 4 days of work left to do with the resurfacing and for that they need a ground temperature of +8°c. It's been about -10°c for the last few weeks and a covering of about 15-20cm of snow on the track. It's -5°c at the moment and snowing lightly, I think it'll be a miracle if it's open for the easter weekend. I'll keep you updated as the weather over here does have a habit of suprising us. :rolleyes:

You still may well see me and Dave on the 20/21st Karl.

Gary

:mad:

Might need a beer or 2 to keep warm :D :D

mmmmmmm..............

Karl - would RR understand if we came in early April instead?

I should think so.

Don't think me and my son will be coming either :cry: , I am trying to get in touch with Nevetas and co to let them know also. Will just sit and watch John Felsteds vidio with my Peltors helmets on. Gary, Karl thanks for keeping me / us updated on the weather hope to see you all in April.

regards "MADDOG" :D

Guys, it's 0C here today. We have had some Light Snow.

Forecast says things we get better Monday, hopefully seing 3C then 6C by Sunday.

But that will probably be wrong! :(

Hope it warms up by May for my Ring trip :D

the snow ring
 

just booked our ferry **** the snow is well not good !!!! i got 3 cars going on the fri 25th, 6.am ferry if not how long is going to take us too get to stelvio pass mmmm im thinking prob need a tractor to get across there lol craig..

cwt the snow will probably be gone by then, but I doubt the track will be open, as they still have to repair it. Best have a rethink :(
