The 'ring and where else?

[grumpy]

After a few years of road trips through France and Spain we thought we might take a trip to the 'ring next May.
As we would only be spending a day there, once around would be enough I think, any sugestions for for good roads etc over "that way" fill the rest of the trip?

A day is never enough at the 'Ring. There's so much there to see and do and it's spread over such a large area that it takes time to experience. A lap only takes 10 minutes, but you can spend 90 minutes just getting from the car park to a viewing spot and back again without actually watching any track action. I'd not budget less than two days there to meander around the car park, watch some track action, go to the museum and wotnot.

There's loads of fun roads around there, but many of them are populated by crazy drivers and bikers. Spa is only 45 minutes away if you've never been there and Hockenheim isn't too far either if you want to visit other International tracks.

If you are into Motorsport there is the spa classic on in may 2013. It's about 60 miles from the ring and well worth a visit if you like classic racing.

You can spend an enjoyable couple of days in the Ardennes on the way to or from Spa and Da Ring. If you want to head further south the Black Forest would be a good destination.

As mentioned above, Spa Classic is taking place 24, 25 & 26 May.

PM me if you want any more info.

Cheers,

A little more sedate, maybe, but you could drive over to Cochem and then follow the river Moselle all the way down to Trier. It's leisurely, but rather nice if the sun is shining. Trier has the famous Porta Nigra to look at if that's your thing.
