NURBURGRING TRIP
Hi guys and girls. I was having a chat with Chris (wrx rcy) on monday and i suggested that we have a club trip to the Nurburgring sometime next year. A few of the boys there thought it would be a good run to do. So basically this is just to gauge reaction as to how many people would be interested and then we can get something sorted by next year
Cheers Calvin

I am going over for a Reunion next year anyway and may drop down to the 'Ring for a quick 1, 2 as you do.
It'll probably be the 2nd or 3rd weekend in July. I plan to go a few days earlier perhaps the Tuesday or Wednesday and come back on a Monday.
Fast Cat IMHO is best as you get to walk around, eat but is still only 45 mins across, having done it numerous times in the past you can then connect to a number of cross Europe routes, eg via Belgium, Holland then Germany or France, Belgium to Germany.
Anyway, just some thoughs.

I'd be interested in a trip to the Nurburgring and it may even be worth combining this with a track day at the Belgium GP circuit Spa-Francorchamps, rude not to as we would be driving past.

SpeedFerries fast ferry service between Dover and Boulogne
As an example the Bank Holiday weekend this year is High Season and the max price Premier Ticket is £85 for a 5 day return with a car of up to 5 adults on a 50 min crossing.

No idea of costs at the moment,i will get on to that next week. The more we get the better no matter what they drive. May be able to get some discounts if there is a lot of us

I'd be up for this, hopefully going again around October time, gotta use my laps up
The Ring is only 4hrs or so from Calais, if you sail to Dunkerque then that'll knock half hour off!! As for how much to budget, fuel is more expensive there than here at 1.66EUR for 100RON V Power!! A 4 lap ticket was 70EUR so may go up slightly for next year!! There's plenty of hotels to choose from in Adenau or Nurburg itself!!
Scoobs always go down a treat over there, more were asking about them than the 10 or so 911 GT3s

Right guys,just had a quick scan on the net and came up with some rough costs
Nurburgring prices:
1 Lap= £14.56
4 Laps= £49
8 Laps= £93
15 Laps=£163
25 Laps= £257
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A guide price for a hotel,10 mins away from the track
Hotel Wilhelmsohe.
Single room= £36 per night for 3 nights= £108
Double room/Twin= £54 per night for 3 nights=£162
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only checked the price for the Tunnel so far but that works out at £180 return per car. But as said by Blue Dragoon the ferry is quite a bit cheeper.
Hope this helps to a rough guide of the costs

The Motorsport hotel in Nurburg sounds the best place to stay, as it's two minutes drive from the Nurburgring entrance and right in the middle of town.
It's surrounded by bars and restaurants so plenty of night life!.

I stopped there last October and the place/food/beer/company are superb and only 1/2 mile from the circuit entrance. Even got wifi to access t'internet and make everyone jealous that didnt feel like going
and the best views of the whole area from the castle
Say hi from Duncan if you do book there
