You'll be flying round I'm taking my daily drive so it'll be driven there and back (hopefully) armed with torque wrench & tyre pressure gauge

I'm staying at the Ringvilla in Adenau.

I see there's a P1 an STI and a Spec C on the attendees list... Oh, and a shed load of GT3's and M3's

mike112

Count me in I'm going over in my 06 STi hawkeye. Had my car mapped by Andrew Carr last week - very happy with results. Looking forward to this trip very much. Will be filming as much as possible with a gopro strapped on the front and back!

Matt.

You wouldn't be going with Paul Bickerton are you? He's from Poulton and I'm sure he's going that weekend

Is it really worth paying the extra money for DN10 over a regular weekend open day? A grand for 2days worth of running sounds a bit excessive to me. How many laps do people normally do? 10 laps per day (which I think is a decent amount) will work out at 50quid per lap

-Nic-

iTrader: (4)

IMO yes it is worth the extra. On the last 3 DN events I averaged about 25 laps per day, many of those only seeing a handful of other cars.

Don't get me wrong, TF can be great but it can also be disappointing with regular closures. All depends on what you want really.

kevfawcett

iTrader: (7)

Sorry for the delayed reply, missed your response.

Fair enough. Don't think I'd be doing 25 laps in a day though, don't think it would be worth it for me

man utd

iTrader: (1)

I've been going to the ring a few years now and Who would want to do 25 laps a day?? Done ring days and they are ok but bit boring and car takes a lot of grief, yes touristfahrten can be a pain but great fun and I'd prob do 8/10 laps a day max
Back mid August can't wait, cheers Rob

iTrader: (4)

Er... Me

Don't get me wrong, I love the TF days, have 3 trips booked this year.
No track event can replace the atmosphere of TF but for guaranteed and clear track time you can't beat the track days there imo.

Either way you enjoy it, it's an amazing track

man utd

iTrader: (1)

Hi yeah maybe see you in august and show me the way round

-Nic-

iTrader: (4)

If you've been going for a few years on track days & TF I'm pretty sure you don't need me showing you the way round.

fpan

iTrader: (11)

Track days don't compare with TF IMHO, just for the safety aspect it's worth paying for a track day.

Otherwise next best is a TF but only on weekdays and non bank holidays.

man utd

iTrader: (1)

Ha yeah sorry I was joking going round ok, hopefully see you there

casualhero

I'd deffo agree with that. On a DN track day it's full track as a race track, no silly stopping each lap, everybody on track for the same reason, having attended the same drivers' briefing and signed up to the same code of conduct.

There's just a major difference in the feel of the place and then out on track it's better still because of the fact that everybody's there for the same reason instead of the worry/risk of coming across some wrong-uns. And there's usually some very exotic machinery there to drool over too...

I did the October DN one a couple of years ago in a hired Rent4Ring ST170 and once the new car arrives I will just HAVE to have a go again and it'll be DN again. Gonna be next year now tho for me

I was just going to say the same thing to you

mightymaxuk

Two day trackday at the Nurburgring...wow what an experience!

juggers

iTrader: (1)

More pics please!

kevfawcett

iTrader: (7)

Jealous, although I'm booked to go back in Sept so not too long to wait. Did anybody say anything about the GoPro being on the outside of the car? Is this allowed?

-Nic-

iTrader: (4)

Not a problem on a track day but you'll struggle to get away with that on a TF day.

mike112

thats spot on Nic, TF no way and the next thing is the front seats, remember the new regulation which states no racing seats with side head protection.

I´ve seen it happen, they check the vehicles and if necessary wave you back.

Thought that might be the case Thanks
