Destination Nurburgring trackdays in 2015. April,July & Sept
Discussion
It`s that time of year again and I`m looking to book my Hull > Rotterdam ferry crossings I`ve already booked onto DN12 in July AND DN13 in September
Darren is running 3 events this year, DN11 in April, DN12 in July and DN13 in September. I can`t make April, which is being run on the 24KM VLN Circuit, but I am able to make DN12, again on the full VLN layout and DN13 which is `only` on the Nurburgring. As always more info on their website http://www.destination-nurburgring.com
Whilst I`m not expecting to have such a fun lap as I did following Dale in an Atom, you never know.. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=142...
For those who don`t know, I`m the one in the `rattly old Golf` as Darren often mentions in briefings
The car won`t have changed too much from 2014, all being well it`ll be a little tidier. It`s been on a Dyno since to have my installation optimised, so its now making quite a bit more power for the same boost, which is always nice.....
Prices have gone up a bit since last year, but I`ve been told that`s because the number of attendees has been reduced to address some of the issues we unfortunately had last year with traffic.
Whilst they aren`t cheap, I employed the well know tactic of `man-maths` to explain to my wife that with the weak Euro, it will actually cost LESS for accommodation, food and fuel that last year....!
It`s always enjoyable to talk to other Pistonheaders in the carpark, I seem to meet more each year. Everyone is always so chatty, I suppose it`s because we`ve all travelled halfway across Europe to drive one of the best circuits in the world !
Anyone else going over this year ?

Wh00sher, I met you there last year. Love the car and remember you spanking past me (Exige S) on the run down to Metzgesfeld.
I'm on DN12 having brought a R400 because a couple of Caterham addicts gave me a passenger lap which was incredible.
Maybe I'll buy a golf if you give me a lap

This is you I think ?Maybe I'll buy a golf if you give me a lap
I was following Lizard in his E36 for a lap at the time. It was a good opportunity to cool the Golf down
I`ll happily take you out if there is opportunity. I was walking round the carpark last year looking for a passenger ! Loads of people had asked, but when I was looking, I couldn`t find anyone . Please, introduce yourself, remind me who you are and I will take you out

I will be doing DN12 & hopefully DN13 as well.
You n your Golf are definitely a 'Wolf in sheep's clothing'.

I remember chatting to you too, although I am pretty certain you were there with another guy, in a Porsche I think ? Could be wrong, but I think you were. The Golf went really well, I`m hoping it`s good for another great DN !
See you out there

I was with mate in a red Golf GTi another 'Wolf', look forward to catching up n hope not as 'busy' as last DN, we're going over for 4 days in May too.
Besitist, Shaun
Ha, I knew you were with someone. Golf GTi or Porsche... easy mistake to make... Besitist, Shaun
I`m hoping for the same !. Hopefully we won`t have the novice incidents again and with reduced numbers, we`ve got a better chance of it being quieter. DN9 was brilliant as was the first one I attended back in 2011 !.
