This is an event i have been to 3 or 4 times now. It is aboslutly fantastic. There is action on the track all day which is great to watch, every car club going and 0-60 sprints as well as trade stands selling discount parts. I will be on my way beack from france on this day, however i really recomend you guys meet up and go there, or generate enough interest to have a Volvo T5 stand. Trade hotline: 01452 317792

I am interested in going. I could not find out from the site link how much the tickets are. I suppose I will just have to find out.

Are we going as a club then?

I'd definitely be up for this. I've been to the last 4, the last 2 of which were on club stands, and they were all great. Small barbeques are possible if you're on the gravel, and chairs are a wise move. The sprint tests are great - I watched that twin engined Nova hit 2.82s 0-60 last year (or maybe the year before?). The porka and ferrari that went up shortly afterwards both looked kind of silly in comparison... and it's always good watching other people mess up their runs/have their cars blow up.

IIRC, last year regular ticket price was £15, but club stand tickets were around the £10 or £12 mark? Don't forget that passengers also have to pay.

If we could get a club stand together, that would be superb :)

Last year we went to the Ford RS show as a visiting club - I thought it was great fun.

Quick update!!

Good news!

I just need to fill in all the relevant forms (which they are sending to me) and sort the details this end - ie who is going, how many cars, banners etc. And we are there!!

£10 per car - who wants to be on the stand?

I'm going, but I'll be with the Rover Coupe lads I think. Will confirm whether my ticket's been booked with them already though, as it would make sense to park Nookie with the other T5's.

Re: traffic-answers, I visit it a lot. I find it most informative (& entertaining). I also used to visit advanced-driving a lot, till the forum got hi-jacked. Hope it returns. At the moment I'm spending a lot of time on the HPC website too, as a newly elected member of that rather exclusive club. Doesn't mean I'll be neglecting good old volvot5 tho'. Have fun (safely) at Nurburgring.
Cheers, Chris.

I think i'm going to have to say No to Trax as i'm down to work that afternoon and i dont think it's worth me putting a holiday in and then getting up at 5am to get there for 7am - it sounds a bit too much like torture actually.

I take it the idea of a stand was dropped due to lack of interest? Will have to be more organised next year.

Nookie will be on the stand with the Rover Coupe Owners Club/Rovertech and one or 2 MR2's... I'll probably be frantically cleaning, or dodging the sun (if it comes out). Make sure you all come up and say hello if you spot me.. shouldn't be too hard to spot an ovlov amongst all the Rovers :D

is/was nookie the dark green 855? saw it among the rovers, think I only saw half a dozen volvos there all day!
