Simon I take it the TVRCC have sold out as well , just a thought though, it's still early days are the club running a reserve list for any cancellations . There's bound to be some, there has already been one thread from someone trying to sell cancelled tickets in the last week on here as well.
Hope to see you amongst the Tiv throngs yet .

I am actually considering looking into the Nurburgring 24 hour race. Ticketing allocation is fair, they have more than one bog/shower cubicle and reasonably priced german beer! Oh yes, It's run with the usual high level of efficiency that you would expect and there are no speed limits on the autobahn's (hence no fines on the way there or home).

Blimey, I've just sold it to myself!!!

PS There also aren't any french involved!!!

I just started looking for it through google after I read about it in an EVO article a few months back. The sight is very informative and I for one will probably be giving it a go this year.

Sounds very good... do the tvrcc go? If not, I think I'll do it on my own...

The 24 Hours of the Nuerburgring are always a great party. The race is not that well known and you won't find any prototypes there, just touring cars and GTs. Still, the track itself is much more demanding than LM and the grid is usually huge (210 cars last year) and very mixed. So, there is plenty of overtaking.

Just found this thread - I'm going to be going with my Dad this year - I've been to the Ring to drive it myself about half a dozen times and have decided it's time to go see the 24h - I'm also going there at Easter to drive round myself again
