Nurburgring trip advice

Re: Nurburgring trip advise

We insured with Keith Michaels PLC

Its 600 for the year, and then an additional 60 quid per day at the ring.

Thats in my mrs name (she is 26 clean license) with IIRC 4 years no claims, with all mods declared (RS2, uprated suspension etc) and with me as a named driver (aged 37, 3 points on license currently)

Chip, do you know who of the guys you normally speak to at Keith Micheals?
one of my longest standing close mates has worked as a part of the company pretty much since they were founded, I could always have a word with him come policy renewal time

they/he looks after all of our insurances.

ADAC, ring recovery included in there breakdown cover.

What sort of figure we looking at for a couple days with them?

 

[Chip-mk1]

ADAC for whole year for me and the mrs for whole of Europe including uk = 100 euros ish


kelv, it was Matt I dealt with.

I'm sat on the balcony at the hotel an der nordschleife as i'm typing this. My advice is to not attempt two things:

1. Lap in damp conditions

Man up

Stay in Nurgurg town at the http://www.am-tiergarten.de/ This is where the PistenKlause is, so you can eat steak on a stone until you cant eat no more Iv just put on 2kg in weight after my 6 day trip!!!

Added benefit is its only 2 min drive from the entry point for the Ring

I always stay here if in a group....

or if I am on my own I stay at the Lindner Congress as it has awesome selection of in room p**n! Think 36 channels of it and 12 of the channels are HD p**n... I stay in alot of hotels all around the world. This has best p**n hahah

 

[sonny172cup]

Is the p**n free or is it pay per view like American hotel rooms?

Is the p**n free or is it pay per view like American hotel rooms?

It's 3 times the price of other hotels in the area so if cost is an issue its not the place for you. Lol.

 

[Kelv]

Lee, is the Linder the new main flagship hotel that almost overlooks the Grand Prix circuit?
if so, that's we're we stayed last year, it's certainly a nice hotel.

 

[Porkie]

Pay... but there was a discount package for the lot. I go for that!

This one Kelv.... Its kinda frowned upon by people to stay there as they are part of the whole corruption and fook ups that are threatening the Ring... but its nice place and has GOOOD parking for red cars (and p**n as we mentioned )

 

[Chip-mk1]

SaveTheRing will lynch you Porkie for all this promo work you are doing for the enemy, lol

SaveTheRing need to give me HD p**n...

Or just send Sabine up for some live action!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Clearly, STR dont cater to the right class of w4nker.

Is the BMW Ring Taxi a must?

Is the BMW Ring Taxi a must?

Ive been to the ring about 20 times now and never done it.

Im sure its good fun, but I dont really see how its a must, Ive been round in a few cars which are faster anyway so the taxi isnt the b-all and end-all

 

[Porkie]

Is the BMW Ring Taxi a must?

Its ok, fun with a group. Not a must at all...

MUCH better is a Caterham lap with Dale from Rent4Ring. Now that IS a must and far better value and FAR more thrilling. On another planet to be honest!

Thats my friend in the picture in the seat.... I bought it for him as a surprise present.

 

[Kelv]

That's the one Lee

 

[sonny172cup]

I would also add EHIC card to the list ,this replaced the E111 form.

Also dont forgot all your car docs, mot, v5, insurance and also your passport

I started an 'essentials needed' thread just before I went earlier in the year - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...month-essentials-needed&highlight=nurburgring

I was very lucky that the GP track was also open the day I went . My only regret is not figuring out viewing points before going, we found the main ones however never got to the carousel.

 

[Chip-mk1]

There are some good sites showing you how to get to all the viewing points, google them up next time rather than hunting, lol

Bit of a walk to get to carousel, but its worth it!
