What to take and advice for the Nurburgring 24h?
Discussion
Great advice so far, where to spectate from is one of those things that I have no clue about!
We've a hotel booked as part of a larger group, so I couldn't tell you where that is unfortunately. I'll try and find out.
Is it worth pre booking bikes for getting around? Or do you think there will be plenty once we get there? I don't think driving from one side of the track to the other will be much of an option anyway, I'm led to believe lots of alcohol will be involved

Well that was a bloomin fantastic weekend!!
Firstly the drive over on the autobahns in the early hours of Thursday morning, then into the misty Eiffel region was just unreal, it gave the place an ethereal atmosphere. And then trackside was incredible. Those Germans really know how to make the most of the 24h. Pretty sure they would need planning permission over here for some of the structures they built next to the track.
My favourite place was pflanzgarten and from brunnchen around to the karussel - the classic was a great race, and the variety of the field was one of the best I've seen. Watching the Golf GTI three-wheeling around the corners always drew a cheer!
The 24h race was a bit hazy if I'm honest, probably due to the cheap bitburger and wine from Rewe in Adenau. I'll definitely have to go back next year.
Anyway, onwards to Le Mans next month. Thanks for everyone's advice.
