Did any of you have difficulty getting on the ferry? Low spoilers an all? :boom:

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

track may not be open on a weekday though, tends to just be 5(ish) -7:30

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

No, I think Worzels scraped just a little bearing in mind he had just lowered his scoob with new coilovers.

It was that low the tyres rubbed the wheel arches on full lock .

Mine was ok also. :doubleup:

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

And his was alot heavier then anybody elses :whistle:

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

Oi :rofl:


I was four up on the way back but that is of corse what you meant. :yeah: :nod:

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

The VLN 24h race in May is a great event :doubleup:

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

Provisional 2010 opening times are released December/January and only firm up around February/March when the weather improves.

I'm back out in 4 days :whistle: This will probably be the last real trip of track work for my Impreza though, I've bought a MX5 with a mate and we're preparing it for track. I think I may notice a difference going from a 330bhp PowerStation fettled Impreza to a 115bhp hairdryer :lol: I won't however miss the 5 laps to a tank, brake and tyre costs!!

To be honest I'm falling out of love with the place, it's gotten quite bad in the past few months and a completely different place to even this time last year. I'll still be going out frequently this year as laps are 'free' but I'll be thinking long and hard about buying another Jahreskarte next year.

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

The proposed dates for me are:

SPOT ON :doubleup: :doubleup:

This years trip was :10: :10:

Hello Mark. How do you mean bad? quote To be honest I'm falling out of love with the place, it's gotten quite bad in the past few months and a completely different place to even this time last year.

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

It's not something the average occasional visitor would be aware of but Nurburgring GmbH have become very over zealous in the past few months with 'their' track.

If N-GmbH haven't got their fingers in your business then you are the enemy. Due to how much over budget and over schedule they are with the new Nurburgring development they are doing everything they can to make as much money as possible and it's having a determental affect in my opinion.

It started with their war on car rental companies other than their new official car rental partner. The car rental companies are having their cars turned away for any possible reason. My old company had a car turned away for a chipped windscreen. Rentals with road legal semi slicks have been refused entry on hot sunny days due to 'safety issues' with the tyres.

No tuition is allowed during Touristfahrten unless by their official partner and even then getting it in English is a challenge unlike with another certain car hire company which offered tuition in English, German and Dutch.

A certain company that developed the trackwalk idea has had that cancelled recently with less tha 24hrs notice and N-GmbH have decided to do their own.

After suitably pissing off the car rental companies N-GmbH have now decided to focus on the track side photographers. These would often sit behind the armco, take your photo and offer them for sale. Now if any one is caught anywhere other than behind the 10ft FIA safety fences their details are taken. If caught a second time the police are called and threatened with being prosecuted for trespassing.

One of the beauties of Touristenfahrten is getting passenger laps with people you meet there. This is no leading to people getting banned for giving 'illegal taxi laps'. A guy I know bought his Jahreskarte (€1075) on the Saturday morning and had it confiscated by the afternoon for giving free passenger laps to people in his group.

Basically it's all gone tits up which is why I'm back working in the UK and not over in Germnay.

but i would of thought that ticket covers the car not how many different people you carrying, what a joke thats not on!! :doubledown:

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

C.J

Currently this week end fits in with the majority, can i suggest you post up alternative dates and get everyone that is going in 2010 to put there name down, we may find that there is another weekend that fits in with all of us. :doubleup:

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

can do any weekend but that one

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

The Jahreskarte covers the holder to drive any vehicle on the Nordschleife. N-GmbH's problem was they thought he was giving illegal taxi rides i.e. charging for laps. N-GmbH have their own Aston Martin for taxi laps at €295 per lap or there's the BMW Ring Taxi, only these companies are allowed to give taxi laps during Touristenfahrten. Luckily they saw sense the next morning and returned his JK the next day after the situation diffused.

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

Yes. But there are 20odd cars going. Can all those that can do the suggested week end put there name up. Thanks.

Re: NURBURGRING 2010

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

Chris

That was the date in May that was given by Jacqueline at the hotel that is not a bank holiday around the time we want to go. I also presume it's the best weekend she could take a big booking from us, as I had pre warned her that the list was already up to 20 cars.

If I am being honest, I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else when I go down there, and I think that anyone who has been down there and stayed there will back that up. The people on our trip last year who didn't stay said that it was vastly different to their digs. Mark83 I'm sure would back that comment up. He knows Jacqueline and also other places, so unless she could come up with another date I wouldn't entertain it.

I'll see what she says about alternantive dates, but she only gave this one when I asked for dates around this time (refer to the e-mail I sent her a few pages back) so I presume that was for a reason?

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

If it comes to it I will go on the thursday and come back on the saturday night late but alternative days would be nice .
On the dates jacqueline sent you it could be a case that you went the same weekend and she thought you wanted the same , options would be good

Re: NURBURGRING 2010
 

I will ask her for alternatives for sure. But I asked her for end of May / beginning of June, no German Bank Holiday and able to take about 20 cars and she only came back with one weekend. she had a 4 week window to choose from and only came back with one.

But I will ask her the question tomorrow via e-mail. :nod:

The Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May is usually the VLN 24hr race weekend.
