Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

I PM'd Gary and got no reply, but foud some details he posted on S'net.
There seems to be alot of un-certainty as to what is and what is not covered.

Stories of accidents and huge bills along with stories of accidents that were covered by a normal policy.

Gary mentioned on the thread that there is cover available at £60 per day.
Not sure if this is per day or for a 24 hour period though.

hopefully the latter, i.e mid-day to mid-day much like a normal policy rather then midnight to midnight. That way you get the chance to us it on either day between these times.

ADAC seem to be a good and popular breakdown cover for Ring goers. My current breakdown policy expires 2 weeks before we go, so will probably look around nearer the time and renew with ADAC.

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

Scratch that... very recent post on Legacy Forum indicates ADAC do not recover from the Ring, http://www.uklegacy.com/forums/index.ph ... ded&start=

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

I havent started looking yet but im quite worried about finding someone/company to cover me at the ring! i have just renewed my insurance with adrian flux due to being the best rate( better than gary moulson which surprised me ) but adrian do not cover the ring!
gotta book hotel yet.

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

i haven't got anything booked yet. i'm still wanting to go but not sure if its going to work out too expensive at the moment :(

so am i right in thinking that to do this, i need to sort the following?

- Check with insurance company to make sure i'm covered to drive in Europe?
- Arrange extra track day cover for the ring?
- Arrange some kind of European breakdown cover that includes the ring? Would this include recovery of car to the UK in the worst case scenario?
- Book Ferry
- Book Hotel.

Anything i've missed?

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

Spoke to Gary today....and yes it's £60 aday for the ring insurance :doh:

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

As we will be in convoy, only 1 car needs to carry hi-vi & traingle.

Some important but forgotton things.
Octane booster
Fire extinguisher
Tyre pressures
Spare oil, Power steering fluid,coolant - You will likely need to top up all of these.
I will put a variety of tools on board.

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

For what type of cover??

Do you know about excesses etc.
:doubleup:

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

Dont forget spare discs/pads and a set of tyres.

And bash hats. :doubleup:

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

Bloomin hope i dont do a set of discs and pads, Mind you i did at donnington,Oh and 3 full tanks of optimax, doh

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

Good point, £60 seems acceptable but if the excess is into 4 figures it might not be such a great deal...

are "bash hats" as you so eloquently put, required on the ring? i thought you could just drive it without? i know its obviously safer with them, but didn't think you had to have them.

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

Not sure on the excess, he said call him closer to the time.

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

There's alot of things addng to the list.
It all depends how mad your intending to go as to what you will need to top up, break or replace.
You don't have to go mad, it's all down to how well you control the 'RED MIST'

I only intend to do about 4 laps at my pace, and do not intend to onto the Ring as a group or following anyone else, in order to help control my own 'RED MIST'

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

Good point there fella i know where your coming from !! i left the south to go to birmingham airport yesterday, 3 off us in all, all in caddy vans and it turned into a little race all the way up. constantley trying to get the edge over each other, stupid really but you cant help it something takes over in your mind!!! :cuckoo:

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

That van is really quick. My other half has it on video of it flying past us. I found him later in the car park. He showed me around the car. Space frame plastic & a S2000 Honda lump in it. :doubleup: Looks like a mini moves like a 911. The fact he lives in Adenau and treats the ring like his own back yard make him almost unbeatable. :drive: Spoke to Frank he seems half asleep and with his bad English & my bad German i got the impresion he had lots of rooms left. He did say sorry for not getting back to me and others sooner. Please feel free to phone him. Nige. Tell 00492691471 i phoned him from my mobile. You may need to drop a 0 from your home phone. :doubleup:

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

:shock: :shock:

He's up'd the spec then two or three years ago I'm sure he was only running a 1.6 vtec in it. Wouldn't mind a passenger lap in though :doubleup:

Well ive booked me ferry and have looked at worzels advice on hotels and have also sent an email to the same place requesting vacancies for two single rooms.

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
 

Yep hotel is sorted. I am booking and paying for mine tomorrow. And have posted details on it (in the wrong place I hasten to add :roll: ) so the others should follow suit pretty quickly.
