Given 2020 is almost upon us and a number of Track Day companies have published their Ring dates for next year, I thought I would start a new thread again...Apologies if some of you have already commented on the Nurburgring 2019 message board, so please feel free to re-post here if so desired.

On my part, I've gone for the Destination Nurburgring double-header on 3rd and 4th September 2020. Hopefully, the weather will be drier than the DN event in October this year! All being well I'll be back in my ultra violet GT3RS (pic from this year below), although it still can't beat a Cayman R I used to have for smiles (less scares) per mile.

I have only booked Circuit Days Wednesday 7th April for now & that's it.

Granted last year I only booked DN21 in May......... Ended up going every month apart from June & September in the end lol

Hoping to do Ringmeisters Prime in July this year and either circuit days double in April or the DN day in May. Yeah the weather on the last two DN Sep /Oct events has been a bit of a letdown although moving that to early Sep should help.

I loved dn21 in the monsoon weather no one was out and found it really really grippy. Enjoyed it so much I stayed on track and did TF after as well.

Circuit Days Apr double booked nice to have something Ring related so early in the year usually my trips were in Aug or Sep ...I’m heading home on Car Freitag didn’t think it’s worth hanging around for seems it’s just massive amounts of traffic every yr ?

I'm doing the double header too smile We're going Monday to Sunday and staying to watch the carnage of car freitag. Will probably hike round the track and watch as the roads are just a joke.

Current plan is for Easter TF initially... After that, we'll see. Will be nice to take the track car this time, rather than my regular car (albeit still a Subaru on coilovers laugh).

Yes I have, and tbh I'm going as much to see some nice cars as I am to get on track. It HAS crossed my mind that I might be crazy though... laugh

I found that booking via Direct Ferry was less than P&O direct even with the 10% discount so give them a try too.

Thinking about July at Spa with RMA and then Ringmeisters as they connect Wednesday, Thursday and Friday together and then back at the weekend.

Expensive but the best tracks in the world in mid summer :-)

Car Friday is just awesome

The most insane day ever, as long as you don't want to drive

But as a spectator - it's the best demolition derby ever

P&O discount codes for trailers which suit DN events in 20. You just have to use singles rather than return to get discount on both legs

Hull to ZEB with trailer midweek discount of £75 take a single and use ZELB1 then get a further 10% off with NSEBOJ-10 £250 for me 2 pax with 5.5m trailer

Coming back at the weekend Rotterdam to Hull get £90 off with CV1 and again 10% with NSEBOJ-10 £245 for me 2 pax and 5.5m trailer.

I think thats them and not available on comparison sites.

For some of us out here there was some racing on the Nordschleife today. A few of us decided to have a gravity race from exit of Metzgefeld 2 down to Breidscheid bridge. Good fun was had. Out of the six cars only one kept all of its wheels to the flag.

Hey new here on and off lurker. Drive a baby 420i msport all stock.
I'll be going to The Ring for the second time now with 4 friends (3 cars) excited as anything definitely got the bug from my first time.
I'll be doing another TF day going Mid June for 4 nights which hopefully won't be Too hot. As last year was kinda on the limit didn't want to cook me or the car. Excited as anything if anybody else going Mid June hit us up. 👌
