S14.de meet at the Nurburgring June 25/26

Kevin. I'm guessing this is the site you have already seen ? www.camping-am-nuerburgring.de

At 25 Euro per night for a cheap single hotel room within the Ring , you've got to love camping to want to go that route

I've used this place before and apart from it not being in Nurburg village, it's otherwise very nice , cheap and the owners are very helpful and speak very good English. http://www.pension-muehlenhardt.de/

Yep, looks like I am going, will be in convoy, probably about 4 of us all bringing our own cars (all e30 M3s). Thought about hotels but after talking to friend decided to go for the camping option instead.

Did send some emails to hotels initially but similar problem as 215m3 so camping it is. Saying that not much info (unless you speak german) regarding campsites there, only one mentioned is Mullenbach?
Not sure if you have to pre-book or you can just turn up - any info would be helpful.

Getting ferry booked through this website of all places, Dover - Calais return £69

215m3 - hope you get your accommodation sorted soon and hope to meet up with you all.

Kevin

I sent 2 emails to the Zur-Burg Hotel for this weekend and have not had a reply back to either. Is anyone else having difficulties in booking?

If you need a lift Jake there is a seat free in my car for you.....

Mmmm, I think I'm starting to get the picture.

Might buy a volvo then and try that first.

On a more serious note, I appretiate your words of caution and emphasis that the ring should NOT be treated as some sort of track day outing, and when the time comes take it easy I will - HONEST

Thanks for the feedback guys,

Hope I did not give too wrong an impression, I think I am more worried about track protocol rather than how fast I should be trying to get round one on my first outing but I am sure you fine gentleman if I asked would show me the ropes.

Also as stated its also about enjoying the occasion with like minded people.

Besides trying to prove something to veterans and then crashing your car in the process is not what I call very clever, believe you me.

Uwe,

Great news to know you managed to broker a deal, and are going.

RattusM3,

Take your time at the ring, enjoy the company, and lap when you want to at your pace. There is nothing to prove to anyone as we all started somewhere and give the Ring the utmost respect. No a La clarkson laps on the first lap.

Come along, you know you want to.

This sounds like great fun and would be very tempted to come but I am a track day virgin and not sure if it would be prudent to do some track days in good old blighty first before venturing onto the ring. May try and get a friend on board who also has an E30 M3 and track experience.

Also, may have the same problems convincing my nearest and dearest, maybe DAWIEM3 can organise some sort of great-escape committee, he seems to be willing. I thought about a life-size cut out of myself with playback messages that say "yes dear" every 10 minutes - that might just work.

If you checked out my cam posting you will know I will be getting these checked and the whole car given a complete check over as well, but I presume certain spares whould be essential to take with you on such an adventure.

If things work out it would be great to meet you guys.

Please be frank about track day experience as I would value your comments very much.

Kevin

Brian,

Whats wrong with driving the track car to the Ring. Its road legal. I have ear plugs, what else would one need.

cheers

I'm remaining hopefull, but I don't think I have a chance in hell to make this trip.

Jake <-- fingers crossed
