Destination Nurburgring 2011 ??

[Yanto]

Talked very briefly about this with Mole (ages ago) and Glendog (at Silverstone)...

I dont intend on doing a TF due to the variables, but I do fancy a proper run at the Ring with no dickheads and insured (assume this can be had since this is an organised event). Doubt it'll be cheap but multiple lapping could make it value for money.

http://www.destination-nurburgring.com/

Really enjoyed the Ring/Spa trip this year..

Any more prelim interest out there ??

:thumbs:

[titan]

The last two were great :)

There'll be around 5 DN events next year, I expect the price will be the same , around £500.

[shane@mbtech]

Im interested in some ring action next year.;)

[glendog74]

I'll be doing at least 2 :thumbs:

[shimmy]

I'll need a cage and a map of the circuit !! :smokin:

[Dan]

Cheeky old bugger! ;)

Seriously I'd love to do it again and sooner the better, wish I'd of been able to do the last trip of the year but never mind, there's always a next time! :thumbs:

[DazBlackCSL]

You booking oulton Jim? 30th oct, sat?

Ill let you overtake me as well , Pax laps in the MK on offer.:thumbs:

[northernjim]

I'll def come down for some pax laps, but we'll have to see about going on as I'm supposed to be going in nov too - 6 times at oulton in a year is a bit excessive for me! :gayfight:

[northernjim]

I wanted to buy that bigger turbo too :clown::smokin:

Have you fitted a diff?

[northernjim]

I know I flippin love it there- I need to try your line thru the shell hairpin as I reckon I lose a bit of time there.....

I tell you what tho- if cadwell was a bit handier to get too, then I'd be selling crack to feed that particular habit!!! :smokin:

[northernjim]

Have you fitted a diff?

It's got a quaife one as standard, but was thinking of a plated kaaz one- just not sure how much difference it'd make?

Which lines that Jim, its different every fuckin lap:hahaha:

Cadwell was good, I reckon the MK would shine there, I was losing too much time in the tighter slower corners in the CSL, the Mk seems to have more get up and go out the corners.

[shane@mbtech]

It's got a quaife one as standard, but was thinking of a plated kaaz one- just not sure how much difference it'd make?

I reckon a plated diff will improve track times, but make road driving a bit lairy-er, depends on your priority

Yep the mk(maniacs kar???) should thrive at cadwell with all those fast corners

Track is the Priority :smokin:

Count me in for jolly to the Continent, I still have an open Ferry ticket to use from Newcastle!!

[titan]

read the small print, the moris policy is not as good as some others out there. Most policies only cover you for impact related loss.

Best I found was richard egger who also cover you for non-impact related loss eg catching fire

Anybody checked the CcI trackday wording?

[Bounce]

Anybody checked the CcI trackday wording?Think mine says the Nurburgring is a no no.I dont know about a well run trackday though.Ill give them a bell on Monday and speak to Kim:smt055.

[titan]

CCI don't cover the nordschleife (even on a closed trackday) - just the GP.

Can't think why, slow track, plenty of runoff, small number of corners to learn, seems the ideal place for learning :D

[mole]

Sorry Ian, only just seen this. Definately up for one of these next year :thumbs:

I doubt they will know until nearer the end of this year. Nurburgring GmbH don't make the TF dates public until around January.

Seems like a reasonable deal. What's the deal with the UK track day - can it be used at any Circuit Days event in 2011?

I'm sure some of you will have received this, but in case you haven't:

"Hi
I hope you all had a great winter and are now, like me, looking forward to the coming season.
As a valued customer and friend I have some news for you regarding our 2011 track days at the Nürburgring.
We are working on provisional dates as follows;
Wednesday April 20th 8am to 5pm
Thursday April 21st 8am to 2pm

Obviously - these are the two days immediately before the madness of the Easter Touristenfahrten, so they present a really great opportunity to get lots of perfect laps in before relaxing and socialising with the crowds arriving for the weekend.
then;
Monday July 18th 8am - 5pm
Tuesday July 19th 8am to 5pm
with a full day of Touristenfahrten scheduled for Sunday 17th July.
So - this is what I'm working towards, as soon as I'm happy it's all confirmed I'll write to you again.
Any queries - call me on +44 (0)131 20832 66 or email as usual at darren@ringweekends.co.uk (darren@ringweekends.co.uk)
Cheers

I see with DN you can book a track pass for the 2 days, 18th/19th :smokin:
This is more appealing to me givin the distance from NE Scotland so as soon as booking is available i'll get it booked up.

Lads,

really up for going this year (haven't been since 2008)8). Eight, WTF??? <<<

Rather than going all the way down to the Eurostar, is there an alternative to go across from Newcastle?

Any advice would be welcomed!

[s.mac]

yes mate, Newcastle to Rotterdam, I think there is another crossing as well :)

In a word YES :smokin:
I'm also on the waiting list for the July event and as soon as i get the nod i will get the ferry booked.
I'm going from Newcastle this year but you also have the option of Hull.
If your booked up then we could meet up on the boat and drive the euro part in a mini convoy ;)

That will just leave accomodation to sort and hopefully manage to get that booked with the rest of the troops :whistle:

[Steviebee]

So, if we go over ourselves we need to arrange accom etc, rather than just making a one off payment for everything?

Sorry if I sound a bit lazy, I just like the idea of paying someone else to make all the arrangements! lol

At least that way, its in the hands of a professional !:hahaha:

You can have them do everything if you like. A one off payment will see you in hotel and on track.

When you going over Rob,

Think we are heading across with rob/alex on the saturday lunchtime train:thumbs:

[derek]

Rob is that the 18-19 july you have booked

[rstoughy]

Booking for July still showing as "Add to waiting list" for me :crybaby:

[titan]

Unless I've misunderstood, aren't the provisional dates because it'll be either one day or the other ? I don't think its going to be both?

Anyhow, all the petrolheads at titan (who host the DN website btw :thumbs:) will be going over for the July trip.

Question is, do I take the CSL or the GT2RS ? Man thats a tough decision and one I'm sure you'll all sympathise with.

Fook knows what's happening with their site - the July dates still arent showing as available to book yet? :smt017

I believe the contracts aren't signed yet. When they are Darren will allow bookings to take place. I think it's not far off but he wants to be 100% certain.

Jo

[M3Laith]

This doesn't look too bad. Can the one ticket for the hotel cover two people? (i.e. passenger and driver)

That's if it lets you book...

[Fasteddie]

I'm back, had a shocking end to last year but things are now settling down. I should be good for the July date - after all it is just days after my 40th, sounds like there are a few going.

I have it on good authority that bookings may be made by the end of the week. Keep an eye out for your emails or direct on the DN website. I shall be away driving on ice so won't be able to share the news.

That's odd because they've taken my money and I have confirmed booking back from them for the two days in July.

[JezP]

April sorted for both days plus booked at Tiegarten just need sort the ferry out and then all good to go..:thumbs:

[CATDT]

It is all systems go but probably the big marketing push will come in a few days, once the documents are in the hands of GmbH. So you're right that the website is now taking bookings, it's just not been 'officially' launched as 100% confirmed.

if you follow Darren on Twitter @Ringweekends youll notice he is currently on a 4 week 5* vacation to Bermuda :beer:

What's 'Twitter' Shim?

[titan]

Everything all booked now for the July trip :thumbs:

Will be bringing the GT2RS though, driving over with the wife. See if we can't hit the magic 200 on a desrestricted road.

Daresay there won't be many of these cars on the day, so if you spy a black one with yellow lettering, pop over and say hi :D

[DuncanR]

What's 'Twitter' Shim? Its halfway between your TWAT and your Shitter ! ... SORRY LADIES, BUT IT HAD TO BE SAID !!!FOOK CAPS :hahaha:

[monkeycsl]

Booked destination nurburgring april 21 staying at Hotel an der Nordschleife till saturday travelling back sunday maybe meet up with some of you nutters.:thumbs:Has any of you found any insurance cover for the track day?

[KingM3]

I'm booked on the 20th, quoted £150 for the day with Pace Ward.
£25,000 cover, £3000 excess.

[monkeycsl]

Thats a very good price will give them a bell,i contacted moris insurance they have not got back to me as yet thanks for advice.;)

[JezP]

Im waiting for a quote from morris for both days so pace ward are doing the ring now didnt they point the middle finger to trackdays there? looks like i'll be getting in touch with them also. Gonna have to be carefull tho with my spending at the mo got cheltenham festival next month after last year i was under house arrest..:hahaha:

[titan]

Its same old same old with insurance

Pace Ward
Richard Eggar
MORIS

MORIS tends to be cheapest but I believe covers impact damage only. So if you catch fire in the pits you get nothing. I've generally used RichardEggar as catching fire in the evo with 15 litres of oil going round the car is a possibility.

[alclark]

I'll be there for the whole week including both days of the track day! :thumbs:
