Some of the E30 M3 owners have been talking of a Ring trip next year, for the Easter weekend of Friday March 25th to Monday the 28th. So now is the time to get some other M Power owners interested in joining in.

The Ring is open for 4 full public days, 8am until 7:30 pm each day and is the first public open weekend of the year, which means a huge petrolhead fest for anyone that loves performance cars.

For anyone that's interested in joining in, then please read the site in the link, as it covers everything you need to know about the Ring and making a trip there.

Bens Nurburgring site

There's no dates, times, ferries or hotel details set in stone yet . This is more just to let some of you guys know that an M Power contingent is looking at going.

Hello Brian,

I share your sentiments, Lets get a good turn out of all M powers, not just the E30 M3 brigade.

Its an awesome weekend and will be more enjoyable, to have you all along, but especially  to first timers knowing that they are part of a Brit contingent, who can advise and assist, and will not be encouraging ring virgins to do sub 10 minute laps A La Clarkeson. The group that went last time all managed to get in some fast passenger laps with our resisdent Ring Vet John.

Just a lap with John around the ring is more than good enough reason to go.  Toby`s cheeks have still not returned to the front of his face such was the smile on his face after completeing a passenger lap.

Go on, you know you want to, and lets see you all there.

Dam right Dave

I'm going to head out, just need to get a move on with the car. Planning to go over a day earlier to get the A-N set up by Martin, if all goes to plan.

Think you should drive the track car over, just go for it!!!

Count us in, we would travel over on the Thursday and a back again on the Tuesday.

Uwe, if you are doing the hotel booking could you let us know want a double room will cost?? Cheers.

The club has arrangements with some of the ferries, I will try and find the links. I prefer the speed of the tunnel but the cost sticks in the throat. The Seacat was pretty quick and an ok cost.

I'll dig around and see what I can find.

Kevin,
double rooms are not very expensive in Haus Marvin. I think we paid 60EUR, but could be wrong. They are on holiday till mid January. As soon I get a reply I will let you know.

I will see if I can organise to go - I still have some laps from my last visit

Keep me posted on the hotel front - I have stayed at the Daniels place - Zur Berg I think and Eddies place the Nordschlief - only 35 euros a night for B&B with ensuite

I think your laps are not longer valid. What kind of ticket do you have?

I read on the ticket they were valid into 05 - I'll get it out of the car and check. It was one of the twelve laps ones

Looking at the Seacat v Euro Tunnel prices there isn't a great deal of difference when travelling at peak times. There is a 15% discount available on Seacat using the codes in the back of the Magazine.

Given the small(ish) difference in price we will be using the tunnel.

I tried booking for the 25th on the first ( 0645) sailing . The only spaces available on that day are in the evenings. Looks like everyone is booking very early for Easter ....
