Nurburgring, Easter 2010

[miller]

We're planning on taking our Delica round the ring, I was putting it through it's paces today on the back road to work

We were going otbe home for Xmas but I may just go down there just so I can say I did it on Xmas day.

LOL, and heres where you make up the time Lee, shortcut the carousel! theres a mud track there!

Might even be less harsh on the VR4! At this rate I won't be going anywhere in that, KAD aren't responding to me at all.

1). Wayne & Kate (White Lightning & Kate)
2). Mike (miller)
3). Kev (steelie600)
4). Atik (atikali2000)
5). John (Nutter_John)
6). Nev & Amy (elnevio & Mrs B)
7). Pete, Shaz & Conor (Spirit & Missbitchy)
8). Brendan (gallvr4)
9). Andy (The Vee)
10.) Lee, Heidi & Sophie (Beastlee)

Maybe:

Brian (Roadrunner)
Ross, Shelly, Liam, Jade & Ciaran (CrossRoss)

Depends on ... Car running (the Celica won't be around then but her replacement might be), the total cost of 2 adults and 3 large teenagers!!, her-inside-the-doors even letting me loose?

The boys will definately be up for it but not sure about the girls.

Avoiding the Easter weekend itself might be a plan as it's Shelly's 4...O'dear! on the 7th!!

OMG 165mph into Foxhole, thats going to squeeze your breakfast

[Beastlee]

I have to say that I was absolutely exhilarated just watching that. Knowing how fast Pete went round whilst I was in his car, then experiencing how it felt to drive it myself I just found it amazing the speeds he takes those bends.

[Nutter_John]

Feck me that was unreal excellent find Brendan

[White Lightning]

That was absolutely incredible. The speeds that he was doing in places you would think was not even possible.

Great find Brendan

[steelie600]

foooooookin nuttaaaaaaaahhhh!!!


I like his style, flat out, throughout!!!!

[gallvr4]

OMG 165mph into Foxhole,

thats your new goal now mike....!!!!

[miller]

thats your new goal now mike....!!!!

I could have 6ft dia brakes and the feckers still wouldnt slow it down enough from that speed for set up into adenaur forst.

[Spirit]

Brilliant find, sh1t scarey at those speeds !

I have been lucky enough to experience Foxhole at 160mph in an Evo with slicks, and yes........something twitched and moved ! !!

For those who mentioned it being open on Xmas day, according to the website it's pretty much open from 9am to around 4pm every day for the weeks either side of Xmas !!!

If my brakes ever turn up I may get one in before Xmas.

[stuey]

I could be up for a Ring trip. Really would prefer to go further into the summer, but see what date comes up...

Regarding going to Spa as well, it's easily doable, as it's virtully on the way.
I just got back from couple of days ago from a rather wet track day with some TVR boys.. Very cool circuit though... would love to go back in the dry.

[Spirit]

We did Spa in 2007 with the MLR (on the way back from the Ring) with Wayne and Andy........bloody fantastic track and a definate "must do again"

[HJM]

And the Usual Suspects had a dry day at Spa on their way back from the Ring

[White Lightning]

I had noticed your avatar changed Stu

Shame it was wet though ... but I'm glad you enjoyed it

Pete - they must have added those dates recently.

[chris g]

And I hope to get there next year...

Prob Easter for first visit and maybe in May for MLR Spa day as well...

[miller]

After in depth discussions last night Anna and I are definites, have any dates been thought of? Would be nice to book things as we go along and spread the expense.

And i do have a free trip on Norfolkine to avail of!

Other than Easter, all opening days and times are unclear until end of 2009 beginning of 2010...

Track is definitely closed when 24hr race on but rest of year likely to be open all weekends but opening times are the issue

You wait until dates and times released to choose the best combination of days and hours open

Or book Easter now and then have another trip later in 2010 - booking ferries is not really the issue although prices cheaper with early bookings as we know

The problem can be finding rooms for all the group at same hotel...

Book earlier get rooms and dates of your choice - still possible if you book around times opeing details area vailable but if you dither to sort out who is going then rooms start to disappear

Whether you book for Easter or not, when dates available choose a date, announce it and then leave people to book ferry and hotel - if they dont book in time them they have to find rooms further away from the Ring...

Have booked rooms already for Easter at Motorsport...
