jerry3167 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Guys, Thought I would put a feeler out to see if anyone would be interested in a EURO-TRIP to the Nurburgring next year. I dont think this has been done on the forum as a group event, but I would like to go myself. As you all know the "RING" is the ultimate track to test your car`s abilities, and just once while I have her, I want to get a good lap time! I am going to search out the best prices on Ferries etc Comments and interest here please! Jerry
Chris`I Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I'd be interested - dates and commitements allowing!
3FIDDYZ Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Just a thought, how about linking up with this one? viewtopic.php?f=19&t=23591 Dont think there will that much call for 2 euro meets in a year
jables Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Good plan, it's something I've been looking to do for a while.
andlid Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Id so be up for this! Could meet you up in Calais for the road trip to the ring? Was supposed to have stopped there on my bike trip this year but as it turned out didn't... need to fix the limiter before then
roast350z Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Id be well up for this! Need to buy another zed or steal or borrow one!
rawbhp Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Great idea. Cheapest ferries are from Dover to Dunkirk with Norfolkline http://www.norfolkline.com/ferry/?campa ... 4wod5m5wWw Would be great to head over with a huge convoy.

Cheapest ferries are from Dover to Dunkirk with Norfolklinehttp://www.norfolkline.com/ferry/?campa ... 4wod5m5wWw Would be great to head over with a huge convoy. Not always true mate. Advance boking is the Key and as a group we might get a discount if chanelled properly I'm in for this as i will be going anyway but will be fun with fellow zedders
jerry3167 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 Anyone know if there are packages on ferry and accomodation?
andlid Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Anyone know if there are packages on ferry and accomodation? guess you can bring a package if you wanna... I'd say you can do a group buy with a company if you get a few cars together... I know that the ferry from Rosslaire to Cherbourg is somethimes pretty pricey...
IanS16 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I may be up for this but I'd have to confirm closer to the date
R800NER Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I am intending on going next year. Some of my mates are interested in coming with me, doubt they would be welcome with our lot? Civic type R EP3, Evo 8 and Focus RS. What's everyone doing for insurance..... or is that a silly question

Wonder what the inspection would be like 35€ probably means 30min checkup. They would probably do a group deal too

I did think that 3rd party wasn't needed, looks like I need to read up a bit more on this so. trackday in ireland and uk = you get crashed into tough!
Lincolnbaggie Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 It doesn't count as a track day at the ring on public days; it is a public road and German motor law applies and you have to have 3rd party insurance. Your insurance company will sue you for any claims made against them (in the majority of cases) as they have clauses against the Ring. It could get expensive if you cause damage to another vehicle/person due to loss of oil/coolant/bad driving etc. Make sure you read up thoroughly on it. Having said that, it is a brilliant trip and the circuit is great for the experience, just be very careful!
