Nürburgring Trip.

So since I'm hanging out my arse in Munich, thought I'd pop the photos I took from the Nordschleife.

Left on Saturday, early morning, in the stupidly loud Corvette. (Videos to come of gunshot popping and loud MURRRICCAAAA noises).

Quick stop off for some food in Belgium

Stayed at the Hotel an der Nordschleife. And had a pretty decent view...

Got up nice and early the next day and headed over. The temptation to rent one of these was unreal. Very nearly took a MK3 Clio 200 out, until I heard the excess on the car alone was €8000

The carpark was a wash of stuff and just got more and more interesting as the day went on.

Got a couple of "on track" shots. It's pretty terrifying. Video games just dont give you a true impression of the gradients, the off camber corners, the blind apexs. And the amount of nutters. So nearly got taken out by a Kamikaze Ford Ka.

This guy from the Ukraine was doing lap after lap... in a much faster 'Vette.

Whilst on a cool-down run around the local (And truly incredible) roads, saw this warming up its tyres.

In fact, I saw it and took a better picture. As well as a few other nice motors...

This guy spent the entire day pounding around in his Megane. Lap after lap, all day. When we got back we could see him still going around from our hotel. Worst second hand buy.

To summarise the 'Ring I'd just say... go. Go to the f**king 'Ring. Sell your kids or w/e just go. It's petrolhead nirvana, people from all over Europe in one car park just chatting about cars and hammering them round. Perfecto! I need to come back with my Golf. Now if you excuse me, I need to go lay down.

Good pics mate! Can't wait to get back there next month. Suzuki swift has been hired for a bit of track action in the evening :)

Petrolhead mecca. I go every year now. July this time. Corvette's do really well there to be fair.
 
I've been following your updates on Instagram. Great photos.

I'd like to think I'll go back one day, but it's been 4 years already.

I don't even really like Corvette's but for some reason, that ZR1 really gets me going. I'd go as far to say as i'd probably buy one if i came into money.

The only thing wrong with it, is its really quiet compared to Richards. Mainly because it still has these things called "Silencers" or something. I dunno.

Looks like you stayed in the same place as James and I did! We got woken up in the morning by the sound of a Zonda thrashing around, best alarm ever!!

Nice folk at the hotel, they let us borrow a garage for a few hours in the evening after we had checked out which was good of them!!

Makes me get an itch to go back, haven't been there since July last year :( Anyone going next months bank holiday? ;)

They were sound! I'd recommend Hotel an der nordschleife to anyone.

So we've found the video from the spastics in the Ford KA, difficult to see but as we let a local guy in his Porsche behind go past, this guy goes for a danger pass. t**t



(actual action happens seconds before the end, but you can get an idea of how loud the Corvette is in the video)

I'm going 23rd to 26th of May, about 14 of us so far, staying in two deluxe villas on the lindner ferienpark.
Cannot wait!

I think everyone stops at that service station haha.

I've stayed in them a couple of years ago. They are very nice but just found them a bit far from everywhere if ya wanted a drink at night. Always stay down in adenau now so we can wander out into town for a few beers at night :)
 
  LY Megane R26
We camped last year, and the year before that so it's a step up from that.
Camping is such a laugh tho with the fires/beers and German Rock music playing, just last year it was wet and put us off.
Plus we couldn't find any villas that sleep about 16 people?
