I did over 70 laps in the M3 over the Easter weekend and it is just fine. A careful check over by a specialist got a thumbs up so just changed the Oil and filters then did Cadwell Park a couple of weeks ago.

If you drive like a **** for 4 days, you'll probably kill yourself at the Ring and not have to worry about getting the car home . Drive like at any UK track day and there's no probs .

Hello Brian,

Not in a rush. We can arrange around when your other bits are ready.

Regards,

Dave.

I went for the Blue Racing Dynamics (New style E30 M3)
22mm front, solid bar, 3 position adjustable and 19mm rear, solid, 2 position.

The parts for the brake kit didn't arrive, plus the time spent on my car meant we didn't get to try anything out sadly.

Been doing just that Dave. Fitted ( well ok, Jake did all the work while I didn't do much ) a pair of anti roll bars yesterday. Also have some new control arms coming and some Powerflex bushes for the arms.Handling is now much improved and I'm keen to try it out on the track.

I owe Jake a huge amount of beer for the roll bars and the fitting of. You know if you can make it to the Ring for the meet, then you are more than welcome to do some lapping in the much improved 'red shed'

Dave. I have a couple of bits for you in my car. Do you need them ASAP, or will when I collect some bits from you suffice ?

Well Guys,

 

7 weeks to the pilgrimage, time to start prepping the car and getting all the necessary things ready.

So who all is going then ???

Re: Pension Mulenhardt, Edgar is indeed a nice chap, however, this year he has decided that certain 'fully open Ring w/e ' he will only accept bookings from people staying 4 nights. Which is a bit of a pain. I tried to book for the S14.de meet w/e at Easter but he was having none of it despite me being one of his regulars. I have had to find lodgings elsewhere for every one of my remaining 2005 trips. By all means give him a try but I think the fact that a big race meeting is taking place will mean he can effectively charge the four nights even if people only stay 2 or 3.

Hi Martin,

Might be a blessing, try this BMW website instead - go to the events page and you will see a thread to book your ferry here, ended up being the cheapest I can find.

Sorry, forgot to mention where I am finally booking from.

Thanks Piers and Uwe for the distance / warning.

Still sounds like something that needs to be done and a great excuse to do my first trackday here in the UK before i go.

See y'all on the sunday!

Andrew

mmmm this could be tight..

Potential weekend looks like this

Friday Goodwood  - Festival of Speed

Saturday Paris - Wedding

Sunday Nurburgring  - first "track" experience

Does anyone know how long from Paris to the ring... at the limit?(Speed limit not the rev limit!!)

It sounds like something i shouldn't miss.

Yep, that's the one BMG.

But will check out the hotel you mentioned first and if places still available will consult with the others - like you said 25 Euros per night is very good. Thanks for the info.

Yes Dave, can't wait - bigger flash card is in order I think.

Flex the credit card and join in Mike

There's an Oldtimer meet on the GP track for that weekend, so things may be a little busier and hotels booked-up earlier. Getting a single room some place local is usually the biggest problem if you leave it late. Try the place I listed in my last post. They are within the track and about 2 miles from Nurburg village . I've stayed there a few times and I've always been more than happy with the service, rooms and with how helpful Edgar the owner is to his guests. That place is also about as cheap as they get.
