Nurburgring-Easter 2006.

[TangoDeltaSierra3]

Hey Everyone, me and some friends are thinking of going to the Nurburgring again just after Easter 2006, probs the Tuesday after the Bank Hol, till Saturday. We're mot sure how Easter falls yet for dates etc but we decided were going to stop in a small town near the ring, either Adenau or Nurburg itself.

Check out these 2 local Hotels as a guide of facilitys etc. If anyone is serious about wanting to be included in a trip next Easter now is the time to begin to save, put a £5 a week aside and your laughing, or open a savings club etc, you wont regret it.

Cheers Spesh but until the Track Opening dates are confirmed were tied, plus the main thing is the humans lol, they are more unreliable than cars, if humans work ok most plans work. What i will say is that anyone considering going is decide how best for you to get to Europe. Probs easiest to sort that 1st in my head etc, then tie up the hotel after, Adenau looks real nice though, not a big town but everything we could want to have is there.

Check out the prices of rooms etc too, think what you can afford, everyone can be tailored for.

Easter Monday is actually April 17th 2006 so i think that we may go on the night ferry, drive down to the ring on the 18th getting there around 13.00pm Tuesday, maybe sail back Fri night , basically 3 or 4 nights there, 2 on the ferry.
Dates could change by a day or two etc but have a think over the stuff mentioned.

How much does a trip cost on average?

[TangoDeltaSierra3]

How much does a trip cost on average?

Everything Varies Really depending on where you from, where you stay, for instance i go by Ferry as EuroTunnell is too far to drive etc, hotels average £25 a night plus, or you could camp cheaper i guess, this year i drove around 800 miles but you might drive double mate, so it's hard to say really.

My costs this year were :-

Ferry £100 - 4 sharing cabin
Hotel x 3 nights -£ 150
Petrol - 800 miles - £200 - split by 3 of us.
Beer & Food all extra.

It's better to have 2 or 3 per car to ease costs, and cabins are more expensive in twos than fours.

Hope that helps anyway.

I am SO tempted!

I'll need to check out a) whether I can get the work on my car finished by then (currently running into late next year) and b) if I can fund it...

TDS - thanks for kicking this off!

Put £20 a week away from today ( my 1st £20 is in a tin which has to be cut open!!) and you will be very much there. Lets face it you will spend £20 on rubbish and this is a good chance for VolvoT5.co.uk to have the ultimate meet!!! C'mon...just look at TDS's pics..even tho is was wet the social side of this trip would be awsome!!!! I am seriously thinking of trying to get on the waiting list for a ride with Sabine!!!!

Trust you Fraser!!! You must be bored !!! LOL!!

If you can make the Essex Meet you might enlist some real southern boys. Know its a bit of a treck on a Sunday, but pub does have rooms if you want to stay the night. Link attached. Will give this some serious consideration. Track not far from Calais and the Seacat is fast and less than half the price of the Tunnel.
