Wasso Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Tips: Plenty of fuel Don't be clever Don't crash Respect the circuit Respect others But most of all enjoy yourself. Great weather for it and it'll more than likely be busy, so prepare for crash delays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Don't crash because you're not insured and it'll cost you your home if you take anyone out as well. But have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Recommend visiting Adenau village, very picturesque. Only 5 mins from the circuit. Fill up with fuel in England just before you get on the crossing... it's more expensive over there. Dont drive too fast on the autobahn as it kills your fuel economy If you're out on track early in the morning, dont push on until you're certain the track is dry and there is no dew etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soimafreak Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I don't know why but I kinda like the coffee shop in Rewe :/ If you've got a bit of time on your hands try Cockhem and Koblenz both pretty probably half day long trips min though also if you can find brunchen (not to hard next turning on the left after the main ring entrance if you're heading towards Koblenz) it's nice to watch the cars and you can walk to the wipperman and karussel easy enough and to echo everyone else Have fun, take it slow, watch out for those pesky Italians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke0549 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Cheers! Will Try to check out the places you've mentioned! I'm pretty excited, just not looking forward to the sea sickness on the ferry! I'll take lots of pictures and be sure to post them up. I'm not going mental out there as it will be the first time I've properly pushed myself/the car so I will be careful. Oh and always think bike. Think biker. Even got the sticker in my rear window! I changed my oil, oil filter and air filter earlier, topped up all fluids, checked all pads/disks. So all ready to go. Damn, I'm not going to enjoy my 5:15am alarm!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph 7 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 So jealous....can't wait to see the pics. Have a great time! I don't even know how you can sleep let alone worry about the alarm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
