You lot not joining us in June Or is this special?

special

lol..

Here's my video's of the Nurburgring. Best time 8 minutes 57 seconds


and another lap


and another lap in the wet.... which I said I would never do !

I wanted to do the June event but it's 1) quite costly 2) not a good date for me 3) involve taking too much of my anual leave. So I thought I'd organise something for others too.

My favourite lap of the Nordschleife


Some guy called Walter driving a 997 GT3

Mmm, I miss the 'ring.

To be fair, 1) its not costly, cant see why it would be any cheaper in October 2) some people are only coming for a few days due to work 3) same as 2.

Im not trying to pick at you, but it does seem that "500's to the Ring" would exclude many others that might want to go with you

yes i am in. Might take track Cinq this time

Please can we not turn yet another thread into a slanging match, can we please keep all input related to THIS trip.

Nobody is stopping them from organising a trip are they? The Spa Italia/'ring trip didn't suit me due to time of year/cost involved, so I took the intiative & thought I'd get off my arse & organise something

The cost of the Spa/'ring trip is going to be IRO £600 for crossing & accom by my calcs.

This weekend will be IRO £100 for crossing & accom (slum it in tents, but I like camping).

We arent anywhere near spending that for 5 of us

To be fair if you were to tag along I suspect no one would be too bothered. This thread started off in the 500 section hence the title.

See below.

I'm not sure why the hostility towards this event, somebody trys to organise an event for like minded 500 drivers and everybody jumps on him for it, quite surprised.

Let's face it if anybody said they wanted to tag along we're not going to say "get stuffed" are we??????

Nothing wrong with an event geared for one model anyway; can do some great photos, everyone will have something in common to talk about and it will be quite an adventure.

We have enough multi-meets throughout the year to kill the need to start fights everytime someone wants to try and do something special

The man said all that needs to be said, now let's quit the negativity and get back to the event.
