stevie_350z Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Looks like we've got a small group from work to go for a weekend trip down to the Nurburgring! So far, we have my black GT coupe an M3 a Scooby and, wait for it, a Smart Roadster! Anyone else done it, what was the experience? Stevie
Grant Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 I've got a little convoy of 7 going out on 9th May (3 Zed's, 1 Ferrari, 1 GT3(maybe) 3 Passengers). We're doing the 75 Experience on 10th then our own cars the next day. Then off on a jolly for a few days http://www.75experience.nl/
steve_b Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Steve, You just got to do it atleast once. If you can try to combine it with a SPA trip as you will drive past it on the way to the Ring. Pic of my attempt last year. http://ringbunny.fotopic.net/p21317997.html I suggest you get there early as get crowded mid-day onwards. Brakes will get hot, and you will not learn it in one day so just enjoy. My time between bridges was 10 mins 16secs, slower than a Ford Transit in the right hands. But I think I could do much better now. Steve PS do not know who this was and did not even see him on the day as lots of cars bikes there. http://ringbunny.fotopic.net/p21318000.html
stevie_350z Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 Tx for that. I will be taking it easy the first time, just enjoy a trip round it. Just the chance to drive round all those bends, even at a slow pace, will be awesome. If I get back home without incident that will be awesome!
stevie_350z Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 We are planning the last weekend in May. Might be the first of June (still waiting for one person to confirm - families!). Why, you interested? We'll be travelling Sat, coming back Mon. Couple of nights stopover, all good people going.
TT2Z Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Make sure you time your entry onto the ring after this has come back in.......... You don't want to catch this thing in the wrong place.
