Nurburgring Trip Booked. Anyone fancy it?
 

Hi Guys & Girls,
I haven't been to the ring for ages and my missus Mandy has never been so I thought I would book a long weekend away and throw down an open invitation for people to join us for the driving, eating, drinking and general unwinding that time in the unrivaled Eiffel mountains and surreal surroundings offer. http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...icon_smile.gif

Travel dates:

• Going Out:
  Leaving Hull on the 9pm Ferry to Zebrugee on the 9th June

• Coming Back:
  Leaving Zebrugee on the 9pm Ferry to Hull on the 13th June

I am also looking at maybe hiring a racecar while out there and have inquired about a ring taxi ride but certainly wont hold my breath for the latter.

The ring Taxi is €195 (£150 ish) but that is for 1-3 passengers and certainly worth doing. A nice amble around the Nurburgride contryside is a great way to see the sights :cool: IMHO

Visit the musesum, "Ring Wek" there and "Pizton klause"sp resteurant where Sabene Schmitz partner works.

Laps prices are very approx in £'s
1 lap = £21
4 laps = £75 + £8 food voucher+ 1 ring werk ticket (theme park)
15 laps = £260 + £17 food voucher+ 1 ring werk ticket
25 laps = £400 + £25 food voucher+ 1 ring werk ticket
season ticket = £1140+ £85 food voucher+ 2 ring werk ticket
Unlike a Trackday on a Touristenfahrt days, have an accident with another car or Bike the Police get involved and whoever they deem is at fault will be TOTALLY liable for ALL costs and injuries (or worse) IIRC
this is a quote off Ben lovejoys site ;)
"if you drive on with leaking fluids, you will be legally and financially responsible for every crash that occurs as a result. That means you pay for their cars, bikes, injuries, armco bills, the works. You will also pay for the cost of cleaning the fluids from the track, and the costs of closing the track to do it"

"The safest bet for breakdown cover at the Ring is to join ADAC. They will recover you from the Ring without the usual €175 recovery charge, and for £50 you can get cover that is valid in the UK also."

Get GOOD insurance because.......
If your lucky and just hit a barrier heres prices (approx in £'s)
Breakdown truck = £160 +0%vat
Armco Truck attendance = £120
Removing Armco = £8 x2 x3 x4 depending on height
Replacement Armco = £28 per metre x2 or x3 depending on height
Removing and replacing Armco Posts £40 each
Safety car attendance = £70 per 30mins
Circuit Closure £1100 per hour
add 19% VAT to all but breakdown
about £12,600 is the highest bill paid for Armco apparrently..

enjoy

Very interesting info there Tony. Almost puts me off ever going. Almost!

You missed out the fact they likely wont pay for your car and may then sue you to reclaim the expenses paid to the Nurburgring. :D

Other than that, its great fun. :king:

Im there from friday :)

Ive been 6 times loved every minute of it every lap full hammer after warm ups,If you drive to a standard where you are in controll no mad nonsense you will be fine remember we are never going to beat 6 minutes lol i hope you enjoy it lads.

anger 22b plz get some serious back drop pics with 22 in them buddy :) be safe ...

Also there this weekend :)

Just drive within your limits, and check your car is in good order before going (no leaks, dodgy hoses etc). Hopefully the worst will never happen. But enjoy it :)

Alright guys I'm going to be there from Saturday do u guys want to meet up? Anger I know ur there but what us the easiest way for us all to meet up?

I/m there this weekend coming for the long weekend
Anyone going this sat morning early? I'm going down with a small group..
I'll be in my cream/white classic ra


Craig.

We are going Friday morning... will lookout for you Craig :)

I'll be in a 22b with Anthracite standard wheels

I've got to wait til June 16th for my 2nd trip. Ring opening times this year have been a major downer for a lot of people so it will be interesting to see what the atmosphere is like there next time.

The ring is only open for 8 days in June for TF days so you have to plan ahead and check the calendar. The days of hopping on the ferry and turning up for a blat are gone (for now) i'm afraid.

Looking at those dates the ring is only open Saturday evening but all day Sunday and Monday.

Am looking to go with circuit days it's £1000 a car starts on friday get back Monday will probs end up costing me £1500 all in. its on a day when theres only cars 150 in total. how much did it cost you guys

I'll see you there mate! I'm going on Friday 10th and returning on Monday 13th. A friend of mine owns www.nurburgringuk.com and I'm tagging along for the weekend. Apparently a scoob is going too... anyone from here?

Usually costs me £600-700 all in. Hotel, laps, eurotunnel, fuel, food, breakdown cover, insurance etc all done.

£1000 for a 4 day trip, erm no thanks.

noooo.
 

Dont do it imy thats just throwing ya money away ..:thumb:

They said the track belongs to the 150 cars on the trip and there won't be any bikes or riff raff on the circuit?

Thanks for the advice guys I won't aste my moneys.

Immy

But the £1000 day is a closed track session - which means proper trackday rules apply. No touristfahrten rules or risk of liability if people crash on your fluids etc.

I'd love to do a proper track session, but unfortunately its just too expensive for me. As i'll be doing less than 10 laps in a weekend, it wouldn't stack up.

Mate where u driving from and were are you getting the train or ferry?

Im going out early saturday morning 5am ish...
Returning Monday night
Anger i'll pm you my number..
