Nurburgring Nordschliefe Virgin's
Discussion
Some questions about 'The Ring', you may be able to help me with. But first some background info.
Me and a mate are going for a boys weekend to The Ring. Taking The Eurotunnel on the 30th September at about 8am, then drive to the sacred tarmac. Drive it on the Sunday. Then returning on the Monday about 2pm. We've also found suitable local accomodation to the circuit.
I have driven on the continent many times in France and Spain, but this will be the first time driving in Germany. I've also done a few track days in the UK at various circuits, Goodwood, Castle Combe, Brands and Cadwell park.
My mate has a Mk4 Golf GTI 1.8T and I have an S2 Elise 111S. So the Autobahn will be wasted on me with a 132mpph top speed! And the Golf's about the same I think. Though i understand there's not that much that's unrestricted these days?
When we're on the track, we'll passenger ride in each others cars to gain more experience of the circuit (and to avoid competitive driving between us).
I'm going to try and get a suitable sat nav off a mate of mine (mine only has the UK maps and the European one's are very expensive for it. So i'll borrow a mate's gadget that has them).
But failing that,
1. What's the quickest route down to the special "toll Road"?
2. How many miles is it to get there roughly?
3. I understand there are diffent tickets you can get for the track that allow you a specific number of laps. I suspect we'll get the 12 lap ticket, will 12 laps completely kill me, my tires / brakes and my concentration? (I suppose this depends on how hard i'm trying)
4. Can you do back to back laps or do you do one and come in again?
5. Finally, how many hours do you think I need to put in on PGR3 on my xbox360 to better learn the circuit?
Any help at all would be very much appreciated.
