Whats everyones opinions on this.


From what i can tell it would just be, euro star to france, drive to the track, then stay over night, laps in the morning, then drive back in the evening.


i havn't really put masses of thought in to this, but if enought people want to do it, i'll see wether it will work.

cant think it'll be that expencive in total.

15 laps is about £30 i think. which isn't bad by anyones standards.

15 laps £30 - i think you have under estimated there a tad. I am sure 6 laps cost us 80 euros!!!!!

Me and H are looking at going again in august

It might be cheaper getting the ferry too

Re: Forum Nerburgring Excursion

If it was £30 for 15 laps, then i'd be there like a shot, but i didnt think it would be! I would need to be going to the alps or something to make it worth my while.

It is a lot of money for a weekend away, but it is well worth it, and whenever you plan this you should give people plenty of time to save up

I personally wouldnt buy many laps - just spread them across the weekend, as i said in the panda section, they often close the track for a while after accidents and stuff so you might struggle getting them all in. Plus realistically you are looking at doing it in about 15mins per lap

Re: Forum Nerburgring Excursion

Hs mate wrote off his M3 or M5 i cant remember which, not covered on the track and had to pay 400 euros to have the armco replaced he damaged.

He was more gutted that he wrote off on his second lap and still had 4 go left!

Re: Forum Nerburgring Excursion

What sorta time did you get in yours Sammi?
Which port did you sail from and to, once you got to the ferry port how long did it take you to drive to the Nerburgring??

Like i said up there im lookin at goin in February, but if this has a good chance of happening then i will hold back until this happenes and go with you guys as i think it will probably be a hell of a lot more enjoyable with a few more cars around!
