Default Which is the best way to nurburgring

me and some of the guys from our club are going over early next year and because we're from the sunny north east of england we were thinking ferry from hull to zeebrugge but some people are saying its easier to get to if you go to london and get the tunnel over to calais and go from their..................

has anybody done it both ways and found one that is best, wanting to know because on greys, my car doesnt get many mpg, lol

cheers

We are further North than you granted, but IMO sailing from Edinburgh in our case made the journey much more enjoyable than traveling South to Dover-Calais.

From Zebrugge its approx 4 hours travel.

Fuck going on ANY boat again - not because of the 20ft waves (I don't get Sea-sick), but because of all the waiting around and the journey length - the tunnel is a LOT better .

Can anyone go this easter on this PF Nurburgring Ring trip? I've always fancied going, although I only have a standard RS1600i, is that ok? Cheers

Ad anyone can come......as long as your car can cruise happily at 70-80 for a few hours, you'll have no problem.
We only do the odd 150mph spurt!!
