Nurburgring trip

[dmallett]

455 miles from Bury St Edmunds to the ring roughly, i recon i could do that on a tank and a half? at a guess lol

So £200 round trip fuel as a rough guess

budget for an extra tank. You'll drive around the local area, do laps which uses a lot, and probably get lost at some point

14euros a day last years(1 night = 2 days, 2 nights = 3 days etc)

 

[dmallett]

Cheers will have a look when on pc!

Thats actually not a bad price for the hotel, considering a premier inn/travelodge in this country next to a motorway is more than that on average lol!

 

[Rhys Beal]

Hmmmm........

Yep, I fancy going to the ring now

Are we looking at the last weekend in May then?

 

[Chri5]

I believe so mate! Ill be going then regardless but would be good to have a few of us

Me

Good to see this has got plenty of interest,end of may sounds good,I think if you budget for around £600 that should cover a good first trip,its the amount of laps that you do that can really push the price up.

So out of the people on the list, who would be interested in following onto a road trip after the weekend?

 

[Rhys Beal]

Both myself and Dan (Dmallett) spoke about it, so me definitely and possibly Dan I would think.

 

[Wests Renault]

Been planning this also with a few mates and would be considering this route (or similar over a week ish)

[Rhys Beal]

Link don't work for me Tom.

Is it by any chance similar to the euro trip that was done on here a year or so ago? Geneva Lakes, Stelvio Pass etc.

 

[Wests Renault]

Yea very similar

Nurburgring
Stelvio Pass
San Bernardino Pass
Gotthard Pass
Furka Pass

Then head back via Paris probably

 

[Rhys Beal]

Sounds very good. I would be very much up for that if we can get a couple of others

 

[dmallett]

Let me talk to my mate. He's being passenger so he has half the say lol.

 

[dmallett]

Im up for it would be good to go and then end at the ring? Just a thought

 

[Rhys Beal]

Dan, I am not sure but I think Tom means start at the ring with everyone else who is going, then we move off through Switzerland, Italy etc.


Ah, do you mean start the trip before everyone else and meet them at the ring on the weekend?

 

[dmallett]

Your edit is what I was thinking. Im easy tbh.

Also trying to convince my mate with the silver ph1 to come

Also tom your link no work!

 

[Rhys Beal]

I don't mind either tbh. I just need to get some new tyres, sort my ast's out and I am fit to go

Oh, and I want to get a track day in at Snetterton before the trip

 

[dmallett]

Come the end of the month? pretty cheap for a sunday

 

[Rhys Beal]

haha, yep will be on my "getting low" t1r's, and I think Dom posted up one the other day. End of Feb?

Yep this one, which you already know about http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?622800-Snetterton-26th-Feb

 

[Wests Renault]

I have the week at the end of may booked off to tie in with the June bank holidays

 

[Rhys Beal]

I can take whenever off really

 

[dmallett]

As toms already off we should just do it after, also means a massive amount of time off lol.

Do you mean do the Nurburgring after the trip or the trip after the Nurburgring?!

 

[Wests Renault]

Trip after Nurburgring

 

[Rhys Beal]

Trip after Nurburgring

Suits me well

The places that you have said to go Tom, how many days is that just out of interest?

 

[Chri5]

I wanted to do a similar route but we figured to go all the way to the alps in say 5 days would involve a lot of driving every day and never really having time to just chill out. But a week, or 8 days would be better.

but as I said before will have to give the euro trip a miss this time and just do the ring!

 

[domsclio182]

Just the ring for me too

 

[dmallett]

Are most people taking a passenger? Just thinking about asking if we can get discount for mass booking of rooms at that place

 

[Rhys Beal]

I will be on my todd

Car is quicker that way
