Im looking to go back to the Nurburgring in 2010, would anyone from here be interested in going too?

I havent got any dates yet, but i will get some together if theres any interest from people on here. A rough cost of the trip will be £700-800 depending on how many laps you buy etc. That estimate includes accomodation, ferries, food, drink and so on

Please post if your interested

is that per person?

roughly what time of year would this be

Wouldn't take the fiesta, but if the 206 is replaced by then, I'd be up for it.

been nagging at the missus to do this, o if theres a convoy there, would be even better,

and as above im guessing thats per car, as will be taking 2, my car and her car

[Minstral]

possibly would as well depending on time of year

Good to see some interest. The cost i put in the first post is an estimate only. It includes

Petrol-£200
Accomodation-£100, the more sharing the cheaper it gets
Food and drink-£100-150
Laps of the circuit-£22.50 each
Insurance for the nurburgring-£100-200 (depending on so many factors)
Ferry-£60 ish
European breakdown cover-£50

They are roughly the prices i paid when i went a couple of months ago, so they will change slightly.

I have no idea of dates, once theres enough interest ill try and find when the circuit is open for touristfharten time and we can start throwing some dates around

I'd love to go but im unsure if my age is a restriction :S

im 18 with just about a years worth of driving under my belt (by the time it comes around next year it will be 2 years) am i aloud to drive abroad etc or do i have to be a certain age with enough driving experience ???

also would my insurance be void if they found out i was driving over there??

Cheers, Grant

I honestly cant answer that mr muzzy, it all depends on your insurer. Some require you let them know your going abroad, some dont. Some have age restrictions, some dont. Best check with them

If i get this new job contract near me, i will be there in a tuned MR2 and possibly and RB30 powered skyline

BUT its all dependant on this contract, if i dont get it, il be skint for the next few months

Just to update this, for anyone whos interested. I will be looking to go around april/may time. If this years trip is anything to go by then now is the time to start planning

I've been thinking about this alot, it seems to be a worth while trip as many people have made out, I would have to take the beemer though if I went.

Remember Fuel cost depends on driving style and car, driving like a loony in a car that does around 20 mpg aint going to be cheap, so when you think it aint going to be too bad all in re-think.
Also, insurance on the Ring is a must, with-out it if you crash and/or hold up any customers, they have the right to charge you for repairs and custom loss = Big bills.
Break down cover (Europeon) might be needed dependant on how much you know/trust your car, with-out it if you are unlucky to break down over in Germany, think of the garage bills and parts cost, take basic parts and tools. Brake pads and tyres may wear out quickley in some cases.
Car insurance needs to be checked for Europeon cover, it will very most likely exclude use on the Nurburgring so as said insurance must also be taken out while you are there.

I hope this is a bit of a guidance for anyone thinking of going. Mike.

See my second post in this thread for rough costs of the above
