group holiday

ok i have been trying to orginise this for the last couple of years but never really had the right car, i am planning a nurberg ring run next year (pos around june) and was wondering if anyone else is in or would be interested

i think it would be tough for alot of people with the funds it will cost, plus i dont like the idea of somthing going wrong with my car in another country and having to go the nurburgdeathtrap ring

i would have to have long hard think before i agree to anything like this but it still is a great idea

I quite like the idea it would be a change from driving in England James that's why were Car Mechanics

so how are we going to change your abs module in the middle of germany

Don't need it just an extra and abs wasn't effected it was just ESP and that is an extra too

only messing it would be intresting im just a little bit scared lol

I'd like to go I just need a trustworthy car first

i'll be taking the beema on the ring with no traction control and hopefully close to 200bhp lmao

should i book a tow truck too lol

well the trip is from sheffield to the ring 583miles and 10hrs of driving (give or take a few mins as we will hit autobarhn lol) in my car thats very thirsty (22mpg average) i recon £90 in fuel maybe more depending on average speed the ring itself isn't too expensive and you dont have to go flat out just drive well with in you limits and have fun lol

was thinking of camping to keep costs down

obvisally we each know the normal weakness's of our cars so taking things like spares brake pads filters drive shafts stuff like that is smart lol or have AA get you home recovery

PLEASE bare in mind though if you crash on the ring your insurance wont cover you but you can buy ring insurance that isn't too expensive but its an option and depends how confident you are in you driving i will do some more looking into it as me and a couple of my mates are defo going a few more would be good but be warned i would say a couple of hundered quid will be needed for this as fuel useage will be high, i have worked out that on a full throttle lap on the ring my car will use 2 gallons per lap lol

I think for me its a future thing, id consider it in a few years time when im better of money wise and the car is in better shape. PLus id not get the time of work as my holidays are spoken for for next year already. Great idea and i want soooo badly to be that adventures!

Ive been wanting to organise an England Gumball really sometime as i think more poeple would be able to make that.

Thanks

well its something i plan to do every year from now on even if the car i own at the time is bust i will by a cheap banger to go lol my dream is to break 10mins lol and then 9.30 and so on lol

England Gumball sounds more realistic as both me and James would have some issues at getting time off work with us been the only Mechanics

I took my Nissan around the Nurburgring a few years ago as part of a European road trip I did with a couple of friends. I bought breakdown cover to cover most of the trip but just risked it on the ring. I have since found out that if you have an accident not only do they charge you but you can be prosecuted by the police for no insurance. As for camping we stayed at the camping am nurburgring which is next to the gp track. I'd like to do another trip there but I think I'd probably hire a car to take round next time.
For some info try this website

dont think they allow hire cars do they due to the whole insurance thing lol will have a look into it

You can hire cars to drive on the ring like a ring taxi but you drive it yourself. There is plenty of info on the ben lovejoy nordschiefe website

sounds better than risking your own car, id love to be able to say ive been on it even if it was in a random hire car......i can actualy see a strange appeal to driving somebody else's car around too

All sounds very expensive though

Thanks for the link Gav

maybe we could find a track day some where at the same time so we could add into the trip

sounds good "an English nurburgring trip"
