Why do you need to book the high clearance carriages? Unless you're running something stupidly low or extremely wide you'll get on the upper or lower decks of the standard carriages fine.

My WR1 used to bottom out as did other newage scoobs on coilovers (due to the overhang distance from the front splitter to the tyres) the lower deck is a lot wider too, my megane is 10" wider than the scoob and it just makes it easier.

We have always done this.

My old datsun bottoms out... 😜

Is that based on your measurements or your wifes?

Such a shame love your company & not to mention the sound of your car mate

Agreed 100% 😥😥

Agree about Granby, would have been even more special with 2 V8's at Ring.

I've just booked crossing (£142) so it's going up.
I did speak to them online as I want to stay with Mark on the single deck who will have the MGR on a trailer. They said not an issue subject to availability and to book high vehicle as Big E said " bikes on roof".

Having said that on my last trip with SES I was placed on the lower deck with no issues and my scoob is quite low on the front with a splitter aswell.

They do have spotters that check your height before directing you onto the train , incase anyone is worried and unable to get on the single deck?

We still have some rooms available..

The Eurotunnel price is starting to increase which can mean space is limited on the train we are getting.


The trip is not all about driving the Ring,

the local roads, scenery and the atmosphere around the area is awesome.

The ring was on my bucket list Ive now ticked that box 12 times :doubleup:

If anyone has any questions please ask away..:ok:

Couldn't agree more.... hence I'm taking Claire & Ellie out there for a week at the end of July :-D (as can't make the SES Ring trip in May).

Doubt i'll be on circuit as will be taking the diesel beemer, but will be visiting stuff and enjoying the scenery in the Moselle/Rhine valley. Ellie likes a castle or two as well, no shortage of them... Staying 2 mins from the Ring in a chalet/lodge place (Lindner Ferienpark Nürburgring).

We were going to go to Cornwall for the week but the accomodation in Germany looked better and half the price!

Got to ask, do you lot think everything will go as normal with this virus crap going around?.

The VLN races have just been cancelled, but no news on TF yet

Hopefully, unfortunately all we can do is wait and see..

On a plus side it might be quieter this year.

If you look at the figures in China it really got going mid-Jan,peaked mid Feb and is now almost contained. Looks like your all be ok.

I went to France on Wednesday & due to this bug The train over was light. On the way back it was so light it took 50 mins instead of the normal 35min. Hopefully no queuing when we get there. Hand gell, elbow bumps & give the customs guys a toilet roll job done:mrgreen:
I’ve had my speed limiter removed so my passenger may need a bog roll or two YOUR :welcome: :drive::drive::drive::drive:

What you driving these days Nige? German i assume?

What's everyone's thoughts on breakdown cover then as last years and previous ones we find out that we are not covered if you go on track.

Has anyone found one that will cover you?.

It wasn't the being on track, it was if you broke down on-track.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but legally I believe the issue was (in the end), down to modification of vehicles.

Which that being said, any suggestions on breakdown cover for modified vehicles? 🤔

Note for all, as they have been clamping down in UK, even a non-standard exhaust is a modification, so not advised to dance on a risk-positive strategy (unless the cover is more than doubling down on cost?!)

Hopefully the borders be open for when you all go for the yearly trip .

I think the main issues are that:
- some breakdown companies would have an exclusion zone around the Ring, based on their assumption that you've broken your car by ragging it on track...
- If if they don't have an exclusion zone around the Ring, some admit to looking at Ring photos/social media accounts if you happen to break down nearby and then won't cover as the policy doesn't cover 'competitive' or track driving.
- Some will just refuse to cover modified cars, but only at the point of claiming when you most need help. When was the last time you saw the option to even specify modifications on a breakdown quote?

It's something i've thinking about as well as we'll be staying a few miles from the Ring in July, but won't be using TF. If i need breakdown cover, I fully expect to have an argument on my hands because I just happen to be staying down the road...

Thieving gits, all of them :(

I used AA for European breakdown cover and I sware by them that they are bloody good they covered my old type r that was lightly modified :ninja:and will use them again for both my foz and classic .

Yeah I used AA last year but it came out that if you went on the ring you are not covered they look a the carmas etc for the ring and then it all kicked off from that, Sean knows more on it then me as hes been looking into it but I'm sure your not covered and was wasting money paying for it and can't use it.

But you were about 50 miles from the Ring when it went pop.... I imagine you might have had a different conversation if you were parked up in Adenau phoning then ;)

Yeah it's just a grey area I guess, if it goes bang near the ring your screwed as they will look to see if you was on it. Theres different things being said so I dont know what's what's or whats the best thing to do

I have been with ADAC for years,

I have just renewed my membership over the phone.

Unfortunately they are no longer taking new customers from the UK..:nono::nono:

Yes mate I’m in a A45 AMG. Had a RS focus last year at the Ring good car but the engines are chocolate. Then bought a Golf R that lasted 7 days couldn’t get it around a decent corner + it drove itself. I’m sure the A45 will be ok there. You still got the bug?

One silver lining in all this virus stuff, fuel could be cheaper this trip if the prices remain they way they're going, 1.07/ltr for 98 over here now: https://www.rtl.lu/mobiliteit/petrolspraisser it's dropped around 30cents in over the last fortnight.

Yep, the bugs still here. 13 years i've had it now.
The A45 AMG will do fine round there, I had a good fun lap a few years ago chasing one for ages, although he just had the edge on me. A few bits of traffic let me close back up :D

I was with the aa breakdown and broke my gearbox near the ring. When it come to claiming they checked photos and noticed my car had been on the ring, change plates next time lol.

It wasnt declared as modified as it wasn't a option.

Also it said in the terms that it has to have all the service stamps done, I'm sure not many people have that because we all maintain are cars are selfs, well I do anyway.

They will always find something if they don't want to pay up.

I hope you all have a good trip

TF closed until April 20th. Spectator locations around the Nordschliefe are closed.
