craggsy 91 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 For all those other newbies like me this page seems to spell out all the basics and give you a good idea of things to think off before you go. Thanks to Nige for the link http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/beginners.html That is probably the best English site for info on the 'ring. For those going for the first time, don't be scared just respect the 'ring.....its not called the Green Hell for nothing. Just build the speed up over the weekend.Also get tyres up to temp before hammering round some early corners as cold tyres at speed will let go.Hopefully we'll get a parade lap in this time for people to get some pics of us all together Link to post Share on other sites

descb600f 0 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Right guys really interested in the trip but my work schedule is up in the air at the min.What does the weekend normally cost just trying to see if I can afford it. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Its about £70 return at the moment on the ferry. About 2 tanks of petrol there and 2 back, give or take. Camping at 11 euro a day or hotel at £30 a night. Then petrol whilst there plus money for laps, depands on how many you do on that one. Plus beer and food and money for your ring sticker!!!So £70+£200+£30(camping)+£70=£370 for petrol to and from and camp and ferry.Then its up to you how much you eat and drink and however many laps you do.I budget for about £500 Link to post Share on other sites

andylaurence 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 That's nearly everybody booked up and it's still only £66 return. I'm semi booked but there are still some notable exceptions ;-)That's going to be some convoy! 15VRs' date=' 4 other cars and an AA truck[/quote']Severe cashflow issues mean I shouldn't book until the end of the month. I've spent almost £900 on the car in the last 3 weeks :S Cheers,Andy Link to post Share on other sites
andylaurence 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 The AA truck is for the other cars I take it Specifically a Beemer M535i ;-)Oooooh! You wait 'till I catch you... Cheers,Andy Link to post Share on other sites

andylaurence 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 This way to the 'Ring Well actually this is the route to the most likely hotel. But it's still a nice route to Nurburg ( 20km further on ) as it gets you to the mountains and forests earlier so is more picturesque and takes you past Spa :-dThat's the route we did last year. We stopped for lunch, and still arrived the same time as everyone else. Having said that, I got an indicated 127mph out of my Focs on the way! :$ Cheers,Andy Link to post Share on other sites
andylaurence 0 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Don't really fell it on speedferries compared to normal ferriesWe've been lucky. I had an awful trip earlier this year. Sick bags on the tables ready for us, and I was close to chunder the whole way over.Cheers,Andy Link to post Share on other sites
