Me and some mates have just booked up to go there easter weekend - cant wait

Anyway i know some of you lot have been before, and just wanted your opinons and experiences of your trip and the place itself

We are going in a 3 car group ( 2 scoobys and 1 2wd saff).

I shall be in the saff and was wandering what sort of preps we should do to the car beforehand. Its having a service , new tyres and brakes but was wandering if theres something that may have slipped the mind

Also any little things to remember like cameras camcorders etc!!!

Thanks - look 4ward to your response

 

yes drive with the other lot who are going on easter

speak to mr rainbird

 

they dont like you using cameras unless they are fixed in the car by some means or another,or dont get caught or saw,
oh and dont hit the barrier they charge you something like Ł2000 for each piece that you take out with the car, you dont need helmets as its classed as public roads,
Oh yeah one other thing if you decide to go go-carting dont headbut your mate (who is also wearing a helmet of coarse)as the guy who runs it fookin hates you for doing it and scowels alot,but is rather funny when look at his face

 

Didnt know that about cameras! LOL @ headbutting your m8 and upsetting the german bloke

 

Dont be a pratt
Have a way out in terms of cash if it all goes wrong on the ring - ie credit card as towing and crashing will cost.
Get the AA booked just incase- be about 50 quid
Take it easy
Dont do too many laps in one go.

When we went ( with St3v3) we did 5 or so each and no more in one session.

Watch out for the locals- they know best and will bait foriegners who dont have a clue.

Have fun

Dont rush- 13 miles is a long time when u are hairing sound hairpins and blind crests and stuff. U WILL SWEAT.

PS- go karting for 30 mins properly pissed off all the Gerrys who were waiting for 10 minute goes.

 

Yeah none of us are going to try and be heroes Just looking forward to seeing some of the worlds finest machinery being driven as Hitler intended.

 

Will be going with a good few lads off here too at Easter.

First time so not sure what the crack is on the track etc....

Will see you there.



Dave.

 

ill think ill be wearing my tight trousers and beg a lot this time

 

Rene,
On your knees then .

Do NOT get AA cover, they have a Nurburgring exclusion clause - go for RAC....

It may be that we won't be going at Easter, but a few weeks later, as Easter is at the end of March this year and the weather is likely to include snow at that time of year . Also, the Nurburgring has yet to release their opening times, so booking now is a bit premature .

 

Mike ill hobble your leg?

 

I’ve been for the last 2 years, it great fun, once you’ve been there you’ll want to go back again & again.

One word of warning, there’s some right idiot’s out on the track, so use you mirror!

 

stewart from devon here using pastie's computer,i went to nurburgring with GRS in my stg1 2wd saff and had the most exciting and scary time of my life.we are going again this year in august cant wait......take spare engine oil,loads of money for fuel,and loads of spare boxers!!!!

chek the coolant (wather) the car get WERRY hot .
And as a M8 said chek your mirrors , thers a q be hind you . Ther is ALLWAYS a qicker car out ther .

 

Theres a huge number of car clubs planning to go Easter Weekend. Its going to be VERY busy Id guess. Maybe not the best time to go.

Also the Rings recovery truck (hopefully not needed) doesnt take cards of any sort. IIRC its 180 odd Euros.

 

yeh sorry as Mr R said... RAC only

 

oh poo

I have AA Roadside Relay Relay Plus 'come and get me from anywhere and give me another car' cover

....but it expires on the 14 May! might not renew

 

Been the last few years you'll love it!

Get yourself sorted with a E 111 which entitles UK residents who are travelling to Europe to free, state provided healthcare when visiting a European Union (EU) country.

The form is available free of charge from your nearest post office.

 

Cheers B8!!

 

hi mate, not been there personally but a lot of mates have. They use a website www.nurburgring.org.uk -run by a guy called ben lovejoy. It's a mint website which has everything that you needed there, from booking the ferry to the location of petrolstations and ford garages etc.

Hope this can help?
Daz
