Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
Othr things you can do when we get there
1. A trip to Cochem is a must. A gorgeous town 40 mins from the ring, situated on the river Mosel it has a very pretty castle, cable car to viewing points plus river trips and tourist style shops. The Mosel valley is a large wine producer so take advantage while you're there. A popular place to visit and well recommended 2. Wildlife park near the town of Daun. Drive through the Wild boar, deer etc and have the oppurtunity to feed them. After the drive take the walk through the monkey enclosure where the monkeys run free around you. Lastly the bird of prey show. Watch Owls, hawks and eagles do their stuff swooping low over your head. A must for the family http://www.wildpark-daun.de/ 3. Rodelbahn near Daun. Right next door to the wildlife park is a tobogan run for kids and big kids alike. Winding down a steep steel run on little more than a tea tray with a brake is excellent fun for everyone. You will be getting competitve by the end of the first couple of runs I guarranty 4. Phantasialand German theme park for all the family http://www.phantasialand.de/9937/phanta ... tions.html 5. Eifel park http://www.eifelpark.de/en/ Wildlife park along the same lines as number 2 on this list. 6. Altenahr - small town on the road towards Cologne. Cheap chairlift to a lovely viewing point. 15 mins from Adenau 7. Rodelbahn - Another Tobogan run with a few animals for the kids to feed. Carry on past Altenaur for around ten mins and its on your left hand side. Video http://www.northloop.co.uk/videos_other.htm 8. Nurbugring castle - For those too lazy to drive anywhere take the steps to the castle which overlooks the surrounding area. Excellent views. 9. Burg Satzvey - castle near the pretty village of Kommern around 40 mins from the ring. Often events going on where you can try your arm at archery, watch fire eaters, watch josting, birds of prey etc etc. Very much recomended. http://www.burgsatzvey.de/eng_index.html 10. If you want to spend money then Koblenz is the place. Most of the town centre is pretty poor but look for the indoor shopping area over the other side of the road from the Subway sandwich shop. Plenty of designer shops to break the credit card. |

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
I have spoken to morris insurance for a track quote to cover me on the 30th/31st of may on the ring. They came back to me with a figure of £275 for the two days with a £1000 excess.
I think this is pretty good and i know Mr Big E gave me some good advice on changing to Norwich union to save money as his is included in his insurance with them im not sure if i would gain by changing or could honestly be bothered with the hastle and paper work! (sorry Big E). :whistle: :doubleup: |

Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
Hi all, noticed this thread and started reading, got to page 6 and noticed a lot of incorrect informations and hear say about the Nordschleife.
I'm an English Impreza owner that's working at the Nurburgring so thought I would do a brief post. Forgive me for not reading 24 pages, I got to page 6 before deciding to contribute. Insurance: 99% will not cover the Nordschleife. You need a minimum of 3rd party cover to drive during Touristenfahrten. Sometimes the insurance company will pay out for 3rd party damage but seek to recover their losses from you personally. There are companies out there but it's not easy finding them as people don't like to share it. Crashing: Expensive. Armco (including removal, posts, new armco, labour, admin fees) is approx. 100 per metre. Most bills are 4 figures. Recovery is 200 from the track to local garage, storage is charged per day and not cheap. The only company that recovers you FOC is the German company ADAC, European membership so you're covered in the UK too is about £70. Track closure is 1500 per hour. 2009 prices: 1 - 22 4 - 75 8 - 145 15 - 250 25 - 390 JK - 1075 I'll hopefully see you out here. Mark |
Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
Thanks for that Mark.
That's the kind of information we really need :doubleup: |
Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
Nurburgring GmbH are bringing out a new payment system this year. It's a pre-pay card you can top up with credit to buy your laps and pay for other products and services like food and drink. I'm not 100% yet if it's replacing the old paper card lap tickets although new barriers have been installed.
|
Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
That's a good idea.
We had a meeting last night to talk over things for the Ring trip. It was one of the questions I asked (not been before) as to whether you could pre-order lap tickets. And if so was there any kind of saving to be had. |
Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
Quote:
The main entrance to the Nordschleife had both LHD and RHD ticket barriers. If you're got a LHD car or a passenger you can join the track at the Breidscheid entrance in Adenau as that ticket barrier is for LHD vehicles. |

Let's just hope nobody crash's or gets crashed into as 99% may not be coverd. :doh: |
Re: SES @ Nurbergring May 29th - June 1st
Welcome Mark83 any input you may have on the ring would be Fantastic as your there. Any chance you can help with getting there from Dunkirk? Any sort of short cuts? If your about on the 29th may untill the 1st of June please come and have a pint or three. :tequila:
