Nurburgring trip

[domsclio182]

This was mentioned at the recent meet at Snetterton,I know there are a few people that would love to go and it still early enough in the year to try and organise it.

More that happy to organise this so let me know what you think.

 

[Junior Bear]

I'd love to do it, would need pretty far in advance to save for it though, lots to pay this year. But if the dates and budget is good for me then id definitely consider

 

[NFox]

Might be worth looking at http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?621657-The-Ring-25th-27th-May

 

[Wests Renault]

I'll be there end May/beginning June hopefully

 

[dmallett]

Im interested, should follow the euro road trip done on here before as it looked epic. Even though it's 2000 miles lol

 

[danh90]

I'm there 3rd week in July for the weekend

 

[Dan519]

I'm there with a group (mostly of SXOC) may 9th to 15th

 

[Chri5]

Me and a mate are planning on going the last weekend in May if that's any good?

 

[LewisTaylor]

I was going to go for that weekend in May, but i'm fairly easy, would rather go when East of England members are going as i'd know more people then

 

[dmallett]

I'm easy for whatever, got alot of holiday to take also

Rough price of a trip?

 

[dmallett]

Lewis you going to drive there on slicks?

we've done it 2 years running with 2 sharing a car for a combined cost of under £700. Few laps, ate very well. Camped at the site next to the GP circuit (group of over 20 of us) for 5 nights. Wouldn't camp unless you've got great facilities between you, but we took a van with a gazebo, 2 barbeques, a fridge freezer and a mate who's a catering manager. Fantastic campsite, being woken by cars testing on circuit is a pleasure.

One person in a car is going to spend £500 easily, depending how many laps you do. Probably wont want to do that many on your first trip, 4 laps will have you buzzing for weeks

 

[LewisTaylor]

Cut slick's They are road legal anyway, and yeah probably i haven't had any problems with them so far, otherwise i've got to leave a set of wheels somewhere while i'm on track.

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

I'd be up for this if anyone plans to go next year. Already got my current hol to pay off first!

Sounds good to me!

So lets plan something! clio convoy would be good

 

[Breamy]

Im going last weekend in may. the 25th to 29th. Anyone is free to tag along!

 

[SimonR.]

Anyone wanna take me as a passenger and share costs?

Can't put that many miles on my car as I've already done a trip to Paris this year

 

[LewisTaylor]

I can't promised the old man I'd take him

 

[Stephie_]

Not interested in the Europe trip this year? There's a thread in the holidays section. Worth taking a look there's a few vids from last years trip.

 

[Chri5]

Just been discussing this with my mate, he's well up for it

 

[dmallett]

My mate who came snetterton is up for it, im pretty sure last weekend in may suits me.

 

[Rhys Beal]

would rather go when East of England members are going as i'd know more people then

This^

Im interested, should follow the euro road trip done on here before as it looked epic. Even though it's 2000 miles lol

Depending on when this will go ahead, I would be interested if we follow the euro trip.

 

[dmallett]

Rhys sums up my feelings tbh, the full road trip would be a better experience i recon! and a good laugh

but im easy really.

 

[Rhys Beal]

It would be phenomenal, I think less people would be interested though as I have no idea on what sort of budget is needed!

 

[dmallett]

For anyone unaware of the euro road trip, look here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?516155-One-Epic-Euro-Road-Trip-Full-Report&highlight=
As for cost no idea, i remember reading it cost £400 each to do that, unsure though.

 

[dmallett]

£400 was for fuel in 2010 lol. Probably cost over £600 with camping :/

 

[Rhys Beal]

£400?! 2000 miles of petrol! lol

As for cost it doesn't really worry me as it would be so worth it I'm sure.

Would be good to know though, I shall delve in......

 

[dmallett]

Find some figures and well try sort something read my 2nd post on price lol.

Best get Back to painting the clio ...

 

[Rhys Beal]

Look forward to seeing it finished

Rough budget for the previous trip around Europe and a good few laps of the ring would be in the region of £700.

Now obviously there are so many factors that can change this, where you eat, accommodation, how many laps of the ring, if you have nights out, how much you drink etc etc. you get the picture. I am sure even without being "tight" you can do it for less.

Also, if you have a passenger that cost can be split down with fuel costs etc.

I think that is an "ok" base to start with, so who would be interested in the trip across Europe aswell as going to the ring?

 

[dmallett]

Me

 

[Chri5]

I'd have to give it a miss this year, the "Euro Trip" that is due to funds being needed elsewhere but will still be doing the Ring for a long weekend

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

I'd be up for one next year if any happen.

 

[LewisTaylor]

I don't think i'd be able to do the euro trip, lack of funds, gonna be very tight just going to the Ring, but it's something that i need to do

 

[dmallett]

Ring trip weekend then? Ha

Be good if a few of us go

 

[LewisTaylor]

This is what i'm thinking, can't afford to miss to much work. Self employed

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

i'm off to the ring in august and having a trip round germany with a couple freinds.

all going in our own cars ie: me in the dci, azz in the 206 and ben in the punto abarth.

should be good . whats best for getting thier? train or ferry to france and drive the rest?

 

[dmallett]

Ferry cheaper and you can get a half decent fry up on them, the euro tunnel is quicker though.

On a note for us lot, there used to be a ferry from felixstowe to Belgium. Ill look into it.

 

[Chri5]

The ferry from Dover to Dunkirk is really cheap, around £26 each way for a car inc passengers. its the dfds seaways company

 

[dmallett]

£58 to go over on friday the 25th and return monday the 28th, with upto 4 people! The prices dont change if you come back sunday either. And thats with upto 4 people in a veichle.

http://www.hotel-an-der-nordschleife.de/hotel/prices.php

If you look at the apartment that sleeps 10-12 people it works out at 45euros a night, which is fairly cheap tbh.

Any thoughts?

 

[dmallett]

Actually would work out cheaper to have double rooms lol. at 37.50euro a night, my bad lol.
