The time has arrived to book up the hols and schedule those trips to the RING. The holly grail of thrills.
There have been some dates released and it is open all that weekend to the public. I will be going that weekend with a few other regulars. This place must be on the list of things to do.
If you are up for it let me know because we are starting to book accommodation ,etc.

I'd love to but I'm going to The Ring in July on the Scumball as well as Le Mans.

Can't do it all!

THIS SHOWS THE DATES. It is not confirmed yet however they have always been 100% accurate in the past. Who are you going to SPA with, I would be interested in that on the way home.

Well you can count me in!

Im racing at Combe on the Monday, so I guess I will be going there for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. That way I can make my way back on the Sunday!

And then I guess id better take the rest of the week off to recover!

I see from the dates that the plan is that the 'ring will also be open all day on the Thursday and the Friday before the BH weekend, in which case i'll be there then to try and avoid the crowds.

Hi guys, thanks crazy for the pics, yes thats me. Flyin Banana I would be very interested in SPA at that price and STEVE Z I plan on going for that thursday too. It would be much quieter and a good time for those that have never been.

There are many good places to stay ranging from 18 - 90e per night. We found a place about 2mins from Adenau entrance and 10 mins from main entrance. We paid 18e per night p/p and it included a good breakfast. 2 maybe 3 per room. Or we could stay at Eddies on track aprox 50e per night.

We have a mate that works at the chunnel so we usually get a very good rate, however remember it is bank holiday.

Anyway lets get some formal numbers together.

P.S when is the next TVR Run. Bristol croud.
P.P.S. Hope to see some of you for the Mendip Blat. Can discuss then.

Be aware Thursday 25th May is a Public Holiday in Germany, so it will still be busy but probably not as busy as that weekend when the majority of Brits arrive.

We do a run on the 3rd Sunday of every month at least. When the sun's a bit higher and the roads are a bit drier we'll be out to play even more! See our website tvrcc-bristol.co.uk for our plans for 2006.
