Afternoon folks,
I have been to LM24 many times and helped others with travel plans, where to stay, view the action etc and now its my turn to ask the same questions for the N24 as this will be my first visit.

I am on Eurotunnel on Thursday 25th May returning on the Monday.

I have a hotel in Bonn Hardtberg.

Who can share info on circuit parking, best places to view the action and all the other stuff that you guys are so good at sharing.
TIA
Steve

Parking at the center itself is plentiful, parking elsewhere around the track is where you can find it!

The best place for action / atmosphere is Brunchen.

At the VLN races they let you into the pits before the racing starts, if you can do this at the 24 I would thoroughly recommend it.

Not sure if you've been to the 'ring before, but it's worth thinking about the route and perhaps avoiding the obvious autobahn option. I usually go via Spa which is a well documented route.

Thanks Janosh
Not been before and haven't got the maps out yet. I do prefer to take the back roads where possible and save the autobahn for when I forgot to look at my watch :-) That strategy has cost me few € in France before now though.

Have a read through last years thread for plenty of good tips and links.

If I had to choose one part of the track to pick out I would start at Brunnchen and do the walk to Adenau, it's a good couple of hours but there are so many iconic sections to see on the way. The circuit buses are absolutely fantastic too to get around on although they will be crowded even late into the night during the race itself.

Oh and the walk along the grid before the race as mentioned above is A MUST, crazy crowded up near the top twenty but really chilled for the rest, you have the opportunity to chat to some of the drivers too.
