VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Although this is still some months away we may as well get it up now so that people can make arrangements and save some money for the trip.In July 2008 the VR6OC plan on taking another trip to the Nurburgring in Germany, following on from our Easter Trip.we will be looking to go out on Friday July 11th to Tuesday 1July 15th 2008. Camping ( http://www.camping-am-nuerburgring.de/ ) or Hotel are on offer ( http://www.goldfass.de/ ). Camping is E12 a day and the hotel E45. No need to book camping as it's a big site.http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=152246Ferry Times:Speed Ferries:: Going: 11/07/08 @ 10:45 | Coming Back:15/07/08 @ 17:10Here is a full price breakdown, as provided by Jim Potter: - http://www.vr6oc.com/events/Nurburgring/GERMANY%20COST%20BREAKDOWN.xlsMeeting Point in Dover: Russel Street Car Park, CT16 1LN http://www.dover.gov.uk/maps/dover-map.pdf @ 10:00 amGoogle Maps Route Plans:place_emile_snchal__to_nuerburg_germany_-_google_maps.pdfplace_emile_snchal__to_nuerburg_germany_via_daun_-_google_maps.pdfThe following places make sense for rest / fuel / regrouping stops with post codes and google map links.Le Clerc (Outreau 62230): http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=outreau&sll=50.880727,4.317627&sspn=0.088379,0.226593&ie=UTF8&ll=50.701459,1.607544&spn=0.005545,0.014162&t=h&z=16 Be aware it's possible that only cash sales are available to us due to UK cards not being accepted by the auto-pumps.Texaco Groot-Bijgaarden (Dilbeek 1702): http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=groot+bijgaarden&sll=54.162434,-3.647461&sspn=12.061421,48.779297&ie=UTF8&ll=50.880754,4.25261&spn=0.005524,0.014162&t=h&z=16140miles / 2hrs into the journey and just before Brussels ring road - there's nothing worse than being stuck in traffic and needing the bog!
