Nurburgring April 2009 (Easter)


Recommended Posts

Although this is still months away we may as well get it up now so that people can make arrangements and save some money for the trip.

Over Easter 2009 the VR6OC plan on taking their yearly pilgrimage to the Nurburgring in Germany. "The longest and most terrifying race track in the world."

It fell in March in 2008 and was very, very cold but in 2009 it's 3 weeks later falling on Sunday 12 April.

We will be looking to go out on Friday 10th April and return on Monday 13th April.

Camping is E12 a day . No need to book camping as it's a big site.

how about we stay at center parks this time

Surprisingly it looks quite nice but trial booked couple of 8 person villas for that weekend and it worked out at about 100 euros per person for the 4 days - it'snot bad considering but a fair bit more than the campsite ;)

effectively double. and would also introduce logistical problems when people pull out at the last minute. With the camp site, or even a hotel, each person can be in charge of their own bookings and don't inconvenience anyone if they then decide not to come.

I'm assuming that an 8 person cottage is less than four times the price of a two person one.

I think the guest house that GMVW used in July was about E25 pppn
