Nurburgring 2017
Discussion
Any PH'ers going to the Destination Nurburgring event on 2nd May? If so, I look forward to meeting you down there. I'll be on the 08:20 Eurotunnel from Folkestone to Calais on 1st May. I'll be in:
- a McLaren 12C (blue) if it can be fixed in time, or
- a Lotus 3-Eleven (yellow and green) if the McLaren can't be fixed in time and the weather looks good, or
- a Audi RS4 (blue), if the McLaren can't be fixed in time and the weather looks pants!

Hi Benny, I'll be on the earlier crossing and nipping into work in Belgium on the way. Might see you en route, (black E46 M3) or if not see you there... 
Coolio, see you there. Looking forward to it.Are you staying at the Lindner Casino Hotel or one of the smaller traditional style hotels? I used to always stay at the latter but recently have been sold on the convenience of the former.
I`m just waiting for Benny to mention another car, we`re up to 3 now with the Audi. 
In all seriousness though, it`s good that you have access to so many cars, it certainly gives you options if you have an issue !
I`ll be arriving Monday mid afternoon and will see you at the Signing on Monday The Golf is all ready and I`m off work on Friday so I`ll get it loaded onto the trailer then. We`re on the Sunday night Ferry to Rotterdam.
Somewhat excited is an understatement

Are DN the only private option? I'm itching to go again at some point this year and whilst the TF evenings were cheap I only managed 3 laps as I needed to let the car cool down in between laps.
3! That's daft, even in a whizz bang turbo should be able to bag 6+ on an eve, back off well before gantry & then start gentle to t13 gets all the temps ok.Are several other options to DN, not many as good value or as well run tho. If you've got deep pockets the Manthey day is well regarded, dunno if can take non pork tho.

Something is up with the car, I fear I had an underlying issue and the driving from last week has caused something to conk out cooling wise. Will be taking a closer look at it over the weekend. I'll be upgrading the cooling setup before the next trip assuming I keep the car. Are several other options to DN, not many as good value or as well run tho.

Back to driving the trust shed car this week whilst I save up for the next trip!

If I can't get the 928 ready in time would Darren be OK if I turned up in my Smart ForTwo? I could almost manage 82mph down Dottinger Hohe...In all seriousness though, it`s good that you have access to so many cars, it certainly gives you options if you have an issue !

Can't possibly see a problem, I think that just scrapes into the 107% rule. As in, a turbo-charged 911 is not likely to be going more than 107% faster than that.
Grow some I would expect to see 160+ under the bridge if I was in a 996TT...All this talk of DN and the earlier CD is making me green with envy. Worst of all, the GT3 has a new set of A048s and a new set of spare wheels with RSRs as wets and yet I have no holiday time left...
Enjoy and be safe

Not exactly sure what I got last trip -too busy scanning the road ahead for cars that had dawdled out of the pits and down into the dip (I'd been warned about that!) but it was thereabouts.
