who's at the nurburgring?

[theburns1]

I've been at the ring since Wednesday and I've been seeing loads of Clio's just wondering if any of them are off the forum?

Yeah seen him putting a few laps in, saw him down at the complex this morning too.

 

[Mr Burns]

There's a video on YouTube of Rhys having a bit of a moment... I'll post it up if I find it again.

 

[Mr Burns]

Is this him @ 4:35?

 

[Rhys Beal]

Yep that was me!

 

[dmallett]

Yep that was me!

Glad to see you havent tamed it down this year 😂

 

[Mr Burns]

Saw you a few times on and off-track dude!

 

[Ryang556]

Many of the chaps here take the trip down to the Nurburgring?

 

[Mr Burns]

I think there's a handful of us that take regular trips to the 'Ring.

 

[Ryang556]

I've not been before but would love to go down, do you all take the euro tunnel / ferry, take a road trip down there?

 

[Mr Burns]

First of all... Do it! You'll never understand how awesome the 'Ring is until you go, I've been 4 times now and still hate leaving!

We catch the Euro-tunnel from Folkestone to Calais, it's a long-ass drive but it's all part of the adventure

 

[Ryang556]

It does sound awesome have been looking into it for a while, roughly how long do you go for and how much roughly does the trip cost including fuel and laps etc?

Only thing that would worry me is hammering the clio round the ring and breaking something so I can't get back!

 

[iyrix]

I was there early may this was my 9th year. Love the place.

 

[JoeMarano]

Yep that was me!

On board footage or nay?

We went for a week, costs about £1k including everything.
£200 fuel
£150 accommodation
£150 tunnel crossing
£30 travel insurance
£150 on laps €27 a lap
£300 general spends
€12 ring sticker lol

 

[JoeMarano]

You can easily half that bill if your sensible. A ferry can be as little as £50 for example.

 

[theburns1]

Have you been? You can do it cheaper than a grand yeah but not £500. Tunnel is far better too worth every penny extra. £1000 is realistic, when you go you don't want to be on a strict budget you want to enjoy yourself. There are ways of saving money like shopping at aldi and not going round the track, but where's the fun it that haha

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

You can do it on less than 500 easy if there are two of ya and sharing costs.

I've flown to Germany, hired a car from the airport, drove to adenau, stayed in decent accommodation, hired a track car for 4 laps, flown from Germany to Ibiza for four nights, then flown home, and spent about a grand

 

[JoeMarano]

Think I spent £600 last time and that was staying in a 500 yr old mansion lol

This was about 5 years ago though and we took the ferry and I sat at about 60mph the whole way there and only did about 5 laps. My mate crashed his car 2 roundabouts into the journey in Southend that year lmao

 

[theburns1]

If you think you can drive there, sleep and eat for £500 then you must get free fuel. Your talking around £350 for fuel and tunnel crossing.

 

[JoeMarano]

Im about to share one of the Nurburgrings best kept secrets on where to stay..

If theres 4 of you or more the prices are literally almost bugger all and in such a nice spot too....

 

[JoeMarano]

If theres 4 of you its like £15 a night to stay in half of a 500 yr old mansion.

Peanuts...and even better the owner speaks english!
