right i need peoples informed() opinions

was chattin to my boss today, turn's out i have 3 weeks of hol to take b4 chrimbo,

so i decided to take next week off, problem is i dont really wanna waste the time, so i hatched what it thought was a wicked plan, i decided why not no to the ring

This was until i realised its only open for a couple of hours on week nights and next week its only open for a full day friday, 2 hours sat and bout 4 hours sundy

question is is it woth riskin it and going anyway???

or is this time of year to late to go??

especially as if i go i will only have 1 full day

cheers jay

 

For a first visit, a day, a couple hours and 4 hours are more than enough time.

I'd do it if you can afford it.

Quieter this time of the year I'd expect, and although large groups are good for social, a solo or small scale first visit is also a good plan.

Do it!

Si

 

Go mate

I'll hop in the boot if ya like

 

As per Si B, still plenty of time given how many laps you will get in per hour potentially at this time of year as its so quiet

 

thanx si i thought it would take me ages to get a sensible reply,

any advice?

 

winner i think this settles it then

 

you not know ur followin in the fiat, i need a spares car

 

I'll do one better and bring the van mate.
And get it round under 10 minutes

 

i take it your going in your cos??

Have you got standard rear brakes??? If so either take a set with you or if your upgraded keep an eye on them. Both my 3dr and my mate in his saph killed our rear standard brakes in 2 laps of the ring.

I bought a 4 run pass when i was there,, and in honesty that was more than enough for me and the car,, As i had to drive it back to the uk too.

I did 1 run a day but 2 runs in one day and thats when my cos suffered,

However you gotta do it mate,, you might not get another chance go for it and have so much fun

 

cheers dude, i have ap's all round so i will b takin a change of pads, cheers for the advice though

 

Definately do that, I did one lap the evening we arrived, then 9 flying laps the day after. On std brakes. They were FUCKED properly. and we drove back on em

 

go for it buddy, took my 200 round on my first trip,this time last year, and its a great idea. take spare pads, though.

and watch some of the corners, i managed to spin through the s- bend at Adenau Forest

oh yeah, got 2 laps left on my ticket if you want them? i won't be going back in time to use them this year

 

nice 1 fella that would b wicked pm me ur details n how much u want for them

 

more than enough time for 1st visit and nice area to explore when track doesnt open til later in the day. cochem is a nice town on the river for a mooch about and beer at the top of the chair lifts

 

When we went it was packed, so this time of year would be great. Have a good time mate.

Benni.

 

Cheers for all the advice guys

 

Firstly and MOST importantly does your insurance cover you to be on the ring ?

If not take some out and trust me double check its not excluded.

I have 4 laps left one one ticket sitting here from a month ago, PM me if you want them

 

pm comin you way fella

 

didnt think anyone insured at the ring anymore, dont they class it as an "unrestricted toll road" in the small print.

who does insure it then?, as I read only places that specialise in insurance at the ring charge approx Ł250 a day and only pay out a max of Ł20k, with a Ł5k excess

 

take in the whole area, not just the 'ring. just down the road is the mosel valley which is incredibly beautiful and has some fantastic vineyards to try out etc

perhaps have a day out in cologne as well

 

WELL busy at "Neurburg" sometimes



Or is he thinking of the wrong place?

 

do it
i got back from there the beginig of this month
the best weekend i've had for a long time
did 10 laps over 3 days
1 st time i've been . can't wait to go back next year
just be careful and dont crash it cost's a fortune

think i'll have to look up some of the other sites while i'm there next time , didnt realise there was more to do

 

loads to do and see, couple of pics from our trips over the last 2 years

 

he's spelt it correctly - nuerburg

Are they the grammar nazis?
Oh wait, they live in NUREMBERG

Not sure why, but only just seen this post again

Take a look here for some costings and pics:

That was from when I went in October last year. Was going to do another report from May this year when we went with loads from on here, but never got round to it

Anything specific you want to know just fire away

 

guess, what? i dont give a fuck

just wanted an excuse to do some nuremberg joke

 

of course you did

 

swimming trunks and towel packed, check. There is a beach there right? RIGHT?!?!?

Mike R has noted the 2x barriers you are to avoid hitting... the one on the left and the one on the right. We have a possible rendevous with an old school friend as we are over there so an excuse for a tour around when the circuit is closed.

STEVEH- 9laps? bloody hell how did the Mr2 last that long, bless. Sounds like a laugh mate, cant wait to go.

 

nothing specific really just any thing that you can think of that will make the trip go smooth and hassel free

 

nice 1 sounds good to me fella

 

Yeah the beach is lovely
Make sure you eat a Pistenklaus restaurant, its near the BMW garage, just down a side road, Steak argentina is you cook it yourself!

I dont know how it lasted 9 laps mate, I friggin beasted it too, was absolutely flying by the last one, mainly because i coudnt slow down


Seriously, (though you guys probably dont need telling this), its fucking LETHAL when it rains so be careful if you do go out in the rain!! We sat there watching all the locals and regulars packing up thinking 'pussies'. More or less had the track to ourselves, and found out why


Absolutely brill time, have a good one, and remember PICS please!!

I got some video:


Yeah thats a bloke on the back too, warming his buttocks

 

dont worry will b takin picks of the whole thing, and ive just picked up the video cam, just need to get a bracket so i can mount it to the cross member of my cage!

any1 got any ideas where i could get 1??/

 

You could ask Ian very nicely if he'll lend you his, its one with a pump up sucker on it like they use on top gear etc. i've hung off it so its strong!!

 

nice i will get mark to do that

 

jay, they dont let you use vid cams, so make sure its discreet, hand a coat off it etc lol

as for them brake discs, really sorry ive not been in contact about those discs, ive not been home early enough to get them

i get paid on weds, so ill most likely order a set for myself. thanks any bud, and soz you had them taking up space in the van

 

nice 1 fella, any idea what the reason is for this?

not a problem they hardly took up room,!

if ur still stuck let me know

cheers

 

I think alot of people were videoing themselves and being heroes, and possibly crashing. I just swung left immediately after i pulled out past the cones and stuck it on the screen. Ian might have the vid, I've not seen any of it yet

 

it's best if you swing right, not left
