From where?

M25 Southside

Waze

This. There are so many variables that it’s hard to say and the closure isn’t going away for a week or 2 yet (apparently).

[RSbandit]

haven't been following this why is the M20 closed?

Backlog at Dover, exacerbated by P&O ferries not running. So operation stack squared.

Returning to the OP, anyone else on DN Events Spring track day in May?

Not been since 2019. I didn't fancy the COVID testing faff last year. By comparison, entering vaccination details this year is a doddle.

Really missed it and looking forward to it. Have a good trip next week Nige.

The 130i.

Don’t have much ‘ring experience so felt it the best option this time.

Aral 102 is higher still

Also, Chris has just warned that:

Nürburgring Armco barrier provider Nett has been in touch to let us know that due to the sharp rise in the cost of steel, any Armco barrier repair charges are likely to be considerably higher than in 2021.

Both my business use a lot of steel. Some of the specialist alloy prices have almost doubled in 12 months. A lot of high, European grade steel was made in Ukraine. A lot of iron ore and coal/coke was from Ukraine and Russia.

Oh yes, that’ll do nicely, although I’ll admit I was very much looking forward to seeing a Sagaris on track.

How was the circuit days double? Conditions looked perfect wished I was there!

[Am43]

I will be there 13/14/15th June for the first time ever !, we were planning an alps trip but has been knocked on the head.

[ukkid35]

Perfect conditions, very few track closures, only occasional yellow flags from what I could tell, also cool air especially on day two, which must have helped those with forced induction

Admittedly I was away from the track some of the time, but it also seemed that car density was pretty low too, with my car helping in some way by only managing three laps

[ecsrobin]

Anyone doing the N24 end of May. I posted elsewhere but no replies.

We get to the ring on the 15th. First time for us too. Will be looking out for PH stickers.

Was there on Sunday (after the RMA) double header at Spa. Prices strong as one would expect (see below) but accidents seemed better managed with yellow flags and very prompt recovery rather that red flagging and closure. Even though it seemed a busy weekend (decent weather) there were no traffic issues on the Nordschiefe or any queues at barriers.

Prices have been frozen for the last couple of years.
