Euro Trip - Thoughts on the Salzburgring

[shimmy]

We have potentially 75 CSLs and a few more cars.

I like to do new exciting tracks and this I one that I'd love to do, and possibly will never get the chance again.

See link, it is a fast circuit, sort of equivalent to a mix between Donny and Snetterton 200. DTM use it as well as motorbike racing and BmW use it for driver training around 50 times a year.

http://www.salzburgring.com/plaene/fotogalerie/index.php

I'm trying to see if costs will be acceptable circa £250-300, which will include food and coaches etc. do it on the Tuesday after Munich (drive over Monday night and back him e Tuesday night/Wednesday morning)

My preference would be to get BMW to book the Salzburgring for us and they have promised to bring 3 E92M3 and 3 driver coaches.

Nothing is guaranteed until the dates are out and we have paid up but I want to see if there is the potential willingness to attend and possible numbers.

Let me know your thoughts good and bad? :smt055

Here is what it will be like with the CSLs out at the first corner

Shimmy is this to drive your own car on track or have a few runs in the 3xE92M3s?


FAO Jim: Are you going down to the Channel tunnel or going from Hull?

[Yanto]

Will there be strippers ??

So.in.

[alexk]

It's a must-do !

I can't even imagine the video footage of xx CSLs together on track :thumbs:

Drive your own car yes.


Don't think we get to drive e93, just get race driver demos and they might jump in yours if they have time

I know who I'll be chasing and it starts with E92...

[Curly]

Fancy that:)I'm gonna need DRS:whistle:This circuit reminds me of the faster parts of the ring:119:

I did the BMW driver training at the Salzbergring a few years ago. In fact it was in the e46 then and I clapped my eyes on my first real CSL. I did not really know anything about them then and just assumed it was a privately modified M3. It was a German course and my knowledge of German was struggling to keep up.

It peed down with rain when on track but the upside was the hotel sat on the hill overlooking Salzberg and the ring was really nice.

I am a bit on pluses bout how to pay for this trAckday. I'm not gonna take a 15k risk so I guess I've somehow got to get in cash and pay it out. bmW won't do that I don't think.

I will ask and see!

It's gonna have to be in January as well I guess so early payments.

Yep, agreed Shim. I'd say as soon as TD confirmed we need everyone to pay full amount by a certain date and button it up early.

Happy to handle that if you want Shim.

top work shimmy, it's a pain for me organizing trips for me and seven of my friends, can imagine this is hard work, but gonna be worth it, top work :beer:

my cars currently been put back to standard and won't be advertised till march time. although having serious second thoughts and MAY do another year in her yet.

the original plan seemed more appealing to me-

Day 1 Calais to Stuttgart (Porsche museum) 475miles/7 hours
Day 2 Stuttgart to Munich (BMW Museum) 2 hours/150miles, and back to the Ring 5 hours/350miles
Day 3 Ring to Spa and home 4 hours/250 miles

although the current plan sounds good i'll be at munich on the saturday, then head over to the ring either saturday late afternoon or early sunday morning and spend till tuesday there. may try and fit spa in if dates are available over this weekend also. :beer:

[shimmy]

Ok, so we have notice from BMW that in theory the Salzburgring is BOOKED for 28th May 2013, confirmed by the circuit today.

:thumbs:


I will get back to you all about how we pay/firm this up, but it looks like a plan is finally coming together:)

To be fair, they do limit those days properly to 65 cars. When you consider there's 250+ on an MLR day you can see why the cost is so high.

Therefore much less muppetry on track.

On the other hand, less scalps to have John.:hahaha:
