nurburgring

Hi All, Sorry for lowering the mood, but I think that this is relevant to a few members who are looking to head over this year. I've been reading on the Ringers mailing list about a very unfortunate event that happened around 10:30am Sunday morning at the Nurburgring, where two bikers...

Hi All, Managed to get back to the ring on Friday, this time in a black W221 S350. Weather was attrocious, but we had fun anyway. The new S class is a lovely drive. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hammo_abroad/sets/72157594146597603/ Scott

There is another thread running about the cannonball run trip to Nurburgring. Nice idea but £700 a car. Just wondering if there was any interest in organising a group drive to the nurburgring for a few laps over a weekend. Making sure we took in a little Autobahn of course ;-) I figure...

Here's some of the first day's pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hammo_abroad/sets/72057594110708116 [Installment #1] The loose plan was always to meet up somewhere with my mate Tim and head to the Nürburgring Nordschleife for some pi55ing about in rental cars. We discussed it for...

Hi All, Fire up Google Earth and check out "Nurburg, Germany". Amazing detail level of the ring now available!!!! Scott

Hi All, Just spotted this today: http://www.circuit-days.co.uk/content.php?page_id=14 I think I might enter for the hell of it in the Mini and see if I can get slowest car or something similar. I don't expect to get slowest lap though. ;) Anyone else think it might be a laugh? Entries so...

Hi All, A couple of mates are coming from Oz to drive the track, and we're going to head over for a few days. Most likely going to be flying over and renting a few cars, but still a possibility to drive over depending on who's coming. Probably going to avoid the Easter weekend, as it's full...

Might be err ... interesting though :D

Hi, I have recently got Gran Turismo 4 for the Playstation. As I am sure most folk on this board know it has the Nring as one of the tracks. I am trying to learn the track ahead of a possible visit next year and was wondering how accurate the cars are in their handling and overall...

As the last attempt at this failed, here's another half hearted attempt! :) Two mates and I are looking to go over to Germany mid October for a few days of Nürburgring action (in our proposed new 'dark side' track car!), along with a possible trip to the Brabus factory if enough people are...

Got back Wednesday night from an impromptu trip to the Ring as part of my stag do, and while waiting for the track car to arrive, was treated to a good show from the Mercedes test drivers tanking around the track. The CLS circulating was making a lovely sound, and the B-class that was out on...

Hi All, Just thought I would let you know - Bend and I are heading back to the ring again, but we're doing it on the cheap and thought that some of you may be interested. A friend is coming all the way from Australia to do a couple of laps with us. :-) We're going with Ryanair from...

Hi All, Spotted these pics over at finalgear.com - looks like Top Gear wanted to follow up on Sabine's comment about getting her van around in under ten minutes. http://www.pbase.com/nogaroblue/040205tpgr

Hi all, Some fo you may be aware that in the off season, a fair bit of cash is spent at the ring upgrading various aspects of the track. Resurfacing, changes, etc.... Anyway, the "Ringers" mailing list participants have been over to check the changes ahead of the coming season. There's...

Anyone have a copy of the Europe disk for TomTom3 they would like to part with. I assume i load it and just refer to other map in the directory.

Hi All, Germany is calling! :D It's been a while since we done a German GTG, and speaking to a few forum members it's time to start planning the next one... If numbers are good, we have the opportunity to visit the BRABUS factory and Nürburgring in a three/four day top-notch excursion...

http://www.xboxyde.com/leech_625_en.html This is astonishing. Can't remember if I posted it already, as the wine has REALLY gone to my head. 400+mb but worth every moment. Pity the guys driving the BMW 1 series. Exciting as a cold sore. :bannana:

Hi Guys, Back safely from Germany with no scratches on the cars, and another 7 laps under my belt. Unfortunately most of them on this trip were in the wet. Due to the high (stupid) cost of the Eurotunnel at the moment, we opted to go across with Hoverspeed on the £99 3 day return. Very...

Hi Guys, Since Ben and I have received our new cars, we are thinking of heading back to the 'ring in about a months time. This time the focus will be less on motoring heritage and more on land speed records. :devil: If anyone's interested in joining us, please let me know. Some people at...

European F1 Grand Prix is at Nurburgring this weekend :bannana: :D Shame the Nordschleife won't get a mention though :( 14 miles of bliss to drive. :rock: S.
