How do, right me and a couple of me mate are looking at going to the ring next year, assuming its still going!! Does anyone no what sort of money it costs to do a day on track stay over a night and travel home in the morning?

 

It cost me roughly,

£39 boat with Norfolkline return

€80 ish for 4 lap card

Hotel was £80 ish, was sharing with 2 others(highly recommend Jackies place)

Then fuel was 2 fill ups to get down then about 2 tanks on the track

I budgeted about £500-600 for the weekend. But take extra in case of the worst, speaking from experience it can get very expensive when it all goes wrong!

Speak to Anger on here, he goes a few times a year.

 

Cool, ill be towing me car on a trailer as its track only so ferry prob be more and is like to park it somewhere secure the night we stay over.

 

Yeah jackies place has secure garages you can use if you fancy as do most other hotels in the area. Just make sure you confirm they are vacant before turning up to not be disappointed.

 

Will keep that in mind thanks

 

it is a road legal track car i assume?

 

Nope track only!! Does it need to be? It's on slicks the lot.

 

The ring is a public road. Needs to be a road legal car when the ring is open to the public.

 

Oh dear didn't no that lol
So it's got to be fully legal ? No slicks?

 

As i recall from my trip there. Yes was 5 years ago though. I suspect it hasnt changed

 

Road legal mot wise, road legal slicks is ok

 

I'd best look it up before I leave lol

 

Thanks

Check out Destination Nurburgring.

It's a closed track day at the ring with limited numbers,
£500 for the day (unlimited laps) so slicks are allowed - as are full out race cars providing you have a cage.

We stayed at Eddie Ring.s place near the half way cafe for €45 per night.
Ferry was £180 return from Newcastle.

I was getting 5 laps per tank - fuel is pricey locally.

Enjoy!

 

Ok that's great I'll have to look into that sounds the best option, either that or make a race car road legal!!!

 

you lucky begger, I was getting fuel cut after 2.5 laps

 

As was i. a swirl pot is almost a must there lol
