Forum Nerburgring Excursion

[OwenS]

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.

 

[Bushboy]

Yes. Plain and simple.

Ide love to do this. just the drive out there would be a laugh

Im looking at doin this in February as i have a weeks leave booked and want something to do! how many laps u lookin at doing? 25Laps is £205 or 305 Euros. I was lookin at getting a ferry from hull over to rotterdam then driving through belguim and up to germany! have a good nights kip and then 15laps then another night over n then home.

It would be better with more people though!

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

 

[serin]

gimme an average price the cost of the whole thing

the panda one was about £700

 

[sammiboo]

when me and H went it cost us approx £500 for the two of us. Incl petrol, ferry, accomodation, food, 6 laps.

 

[serin]

so say 2 thirds of that :chin:

i might be able to cover that

 

[mountainmachine]

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

 

[serin]

lol, also, i dont think most people cars would be up to loads of laps, and if they werem they might not be road legal by the end

Looks cool! :slayer:

 

[sammiboo]

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!

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!

 

[sammiboo]

What sorta time did you get in yours Sammi?

About 14 mins i think

Which port did you sail from and to

Dover to dunkirk

once you got to the ferry port how long did it take you to drive to the Nerburgring??

I cant remember - will get H to answer that
