That's interesting..... I was going on the statement from the Nurburgring website:

Seems pretty clear to me, unless its a bad translation?

Scotty the reason for me buying the laps now is because they may or may not go up in price?
It has been said that a new pricing structure may be introduced which in all probability will mean that it is cheaper to drive the ring midweek and more expensive during the weekend.

I was toying with getting the 9 lap ticket but I think for me and the scoob 8 laps last year was enough, how many did you do last year Steve ? :whistle:

Although it works out cheaper to get the 9 laps you still have to consider the extra fuel and the scoob.

That does look clear - I was told differently when I spoke to them ordering some tickets. Doesn't seem very organised!

Agreed... I get the feeling that the new owners decided they didn't want the tickets to expire as they probably hoped for a bit of a cash injection into the business once they announced the new pricing structure - with folks like us buying in advance to take advantage of the old prices?

Cheeky :mrgreen:

I only did 6 last year, but I was only thinking about getting a 9 lap ticket as its cheaper per lap, then using the remainder the year after. But it would be nice to know for sure if the cards are valid beyond 31/12/15. If not, I'll probably only buy a 4 lap and then buy a single or two if I do more once i'm there.

Or you could sell the extra laps to me?

Getting cheaper by the day :)

Could do mate, would be easier having them on two cards though rather have to keep swapping the card around in the car park.

Just done a quick check £600 converts to 810 euros from the post office better order some soon .

Shop around, £600 is currently getting you 825 euros on iceplc.com :)

(although they charge £4.75 shipping on orders less than £700, still works out as a free tenner!)

I think

I think 955 euros should be enough for me .

And SES are on their way to PETROL HEAD HEAVEN. :drive: :drive:

Got my euros sorted now :D and NS-2R's are on the car.

Still not booked the train :doh:

Where is best for travel insurance, used to get it with Santander as part of my account but now they have stopped that :(

I get mine from Saga....:ok::ok:


You qualify now.. :whistle:

The price has gone up to £126.

:-D

I've never actually bothered about travel insurance?? Luggage can't get lost and health stuff is covered by EHIC card so not normally worried about it. I guess the most likely use is loss/theft of personal possessions? (camera/wallet etc?)

Dammit. Good thing I've got 90 quid of Tesco vouchers to use then I guess!

Steve - the key part is the repatriation in case you're too ill or injured to get home.

As Greg said, if you haven't got travel insurance and you trip down the front steps at the hotel and break a leg you can't get home, EHIC will only cover some things, it won't pay for months in hospital and subsequent repatriation and that can run into tens of thousands, I would think twice about a day trip without it. I've got annual multi trip for the family through work now, only costs £5 a month for Europe.

Cheers chaps, will look into it. Might even get it through my credit cards but will check. :)

Always had repatriation of the scoob covered, obviously only worry about the important things!

Mmmm another thing to sort out travel insurance .

See you all soon better have a fuel tanker behind me for the drive all the way down south :rofl::rofl::rofl:

The following list details the Final Attendee's and room arrangements for this years trip.

After confirming final numbers the 'Outstanding Balance' was received from the Hotel and the below identifies, for everyone, their personal outstanding balance.

As mentioned previously we would like to pay this in advance, therefore upon arrival/departure all you have to worry about is paying for food and meals.
I expect you will only be eating in the Hotel, of an evening, on 1 or 2 nights (max), so just settle your food/drink bills as you would any other restaurant on the night.

'Lidl' is just 100 yards away and does Beer for under 1 Euro (a bottle) or 5-6 Euro for a 5 litre keg. So many of you are unlikely to be racking up a bar bill in the Hotel.

The total bill has been split evenly amongst all attendee's.

If you can send payment to payments@southeastscoobies.co.uk via www.paypal.com ensuring the payment method selected does not incur costs to SES (if this is the case the payment will be rejected/returned).

Payment sent Scott .

You have Lidl, Aldi and Rewe all within a very short walk.
Lidl and Aldi for the food and Rewe for drink would be my recommendation. The 2 nearest Italians are very cheap - wander down to Pinocchios if you like a bigger pizza - They're mahoosive for the money.
