Nürburgring in 2022

[Rowe]

There was definitely no yellows shown at any of the marshal points on the sighting laps.

I will reiterate the above too....... regardless of how the briefings are done, the end of the sighting laps is always a cluster fk.

[Rob_R]

I generally enjoyed it although I think I only did about 12-13 laps in the end. I thought driving standards were generally pretty good, people looking in their mirrors and indicating which is an absolute rarity on TF.

I was surprised by the number of accidents throughout the day though. What was it, a total of five cars binned?

I think I'd like to do one of the Ringmeisters Prime days or one of the normal DN days as people tend to bring more exotic machinery and therefore aren't as willing to go for the Golden Pineapple.

12-13 was all I managed at last DN. Was willing and quite prepared to do more, we’re there fewer interruptions.

Ditto your comments about Ringmeisters Prime. That or a Manthey Porsche day. Both spendy but fewer cars and a different sort of driver perhaps.

The normal DN double is £1200 which isn’t much more than a CD double. Prime is £1800 but that’s with alot less cars and full hospitality in devils diner. As it turns out I’m going to use my last CD credit in October so another Ring trip to look forward to at least !

I was the CD day
It ran really well after 12pm
Not sure what the confusion is about Track going live at 0830?

Hi chaps,

Heading over next week (as part of road trip), is it convenient to buy the TF ticket on the day?

Yeah that’s what we did back in June. The ticket office is the other side of the roundabout at the track entrance. Very easy and only took a couple of mins, if that.

Thanks!

Yes just gonna see what the weather is like on the day and how busy it is. Staying at Tiergarten so only a short walk.

You can also buy tickets at the ED petrol station on the b258 next to the track. The reception at the info centre at the gp complex also sell tickets.

Great two days at DN

Very varied in terms of weather, and incidents, although no red flags over the two days

And I got a PAX ride in Nige's Golf at last, what a Jeckyll & Hyde machine that is

Mine decided that it was a bit tired after a day a Spa the week before, but still managed to give a few people PAX rides

Beautiful! If you don't love a Cerbera, do you even have petrol in your veins?

Nige's mad Golf was my first ever laps of the circuit. Not been in the car since, but he's promised to let me sample it when we next meet. It being the Trigger's Broom of track cars, I expect significant improvements.

I might be interested in having some instruction, I've been going for years but never had any.
What are your credentials and how do I get in touch?
Cheers

PS - just re-read that and it didn't come across well (re: credentials), I'm hoping you know what I mean!

Yes heading over on the 13th coming back on 15th...Quick visit tbh but need to use up my last Covid credit...originally booked that day in Jan 2020. Hopefully the weather plays ball but that's not even guaranteed in mid summer!

I didn't realise you were sitting quite THAT low in the passenger seat




Thanks to the guys who said they'd read my reports on here before and were asking why I hadn't posted any this year. I'm on with it.

As Paul said, weather was hit and miss but no red flags over 2 days was a credit to everyone who was driving on the event.

I hope "Jekyll and Hyde" is a good thing

"Trigger's Broom" definitely is.
