CATDT 'Ring Trip November 2009

[CATDT]

Each year CAT have an annual jaunt to the Nurburgring for Colin's "holiday". Colin was trained to drive the 'Ring by Dirk Schoysman for his motor industry work and so the annual jaunt is the way he likes to keep his 'hand in' - so to speak.

All are welcome to join us and the group size has grown from 3 to 8 to 34 and last year 78 :hahaha:

It's a very sociable trip with like minded enthusiasts and includes clients who've become friends from many forums. We all enjoy a great time together and hopefully get to drive many safe laps on the 'Ring.

Following the revision to the Tourist dates now showing on the official site, our annual trip will take place early November.

The opening is
Friday 6: 09:00 - 16:30,
Sunday 8: 13:30 - 17:00
and then continuous full day opening Monday 9 onwards 09:00 - 16:30.

The CAT team are not set yet on whether we will head out Thursday 5 or Saturday 7, but either way we will definitely be there for Sunday 8 and Monday 9.

Contact Jo to let her know if you plan on joining us and if you'd like more information.

Sounds good Jo :-D

I'm certainly keen as i said the other day - it will be the ideal last use of the Jahreskarte before the years' end, plus i would love to see that Ford Mondeo putting more expensive machinery to shame! :hahaha:

Whereabouts do you all stay or is it spread around the various hotels?

Cheers,

Rob.

Usually at the Tiergarten as Colin likes his 'steak on a stone' fix. There was another suggestion made for this year which I'm looking into. Last year I made a group booking but I haven't decided how I'm going to handle it this time - the group was a tad on the large side :hahaha:

I'll add you to my list and then make sure you know all the details once they're more finalised.

Are you out next weekend Kristof 15th-17th ?

[Bealo]

I'd be interested if i get the time off work.

What is the weather like over there at that time of the year???

I'm guessing a bit wet....

Yes it could be ... could also be white but we're happy to take our chances - Colin also prefers it as it should be quieter.

Guys, thought I'd bring this thread alive again. As I've been with CAT DT and the GTR club at this event for a couple of years I can highly recommend going.

I'm in for sure and I know a couple of others may well be interested.

Darren and Rob, November Ring solution. Thank you please! :beer::thumbs:

Mark, can you make this a sticky thread for us?

By the way guys, I have a very pleasing feeling for stretching this one into Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, possibly later. Full open weekdays at Ring. :partyman::rock:

Maybe head down on the Saturday as it's a closed day? Anyone?

Now that could be an idea .. be a lot quieter also:whistle:

If we book early we can get the f*** shak outhouse and spilt the rooms as its a lot cheaper way of doing it and own garage / covered area for rob's wheel changing antics !!!

The opening is showing now as:

November 1st & 2nd, then 9th continuously.

Just so you know ;)
