I have been asked to post up, asking for folks who might
be interested in a E30 M3 Trackday meet at the 'Ring in
the summer.

Organiser said:
"We dont have dates yet we are in very
early planning stages. I just want to get interest
generated. it WILL happen, I just want as many
cars/people as possible to participate.
im getting sponsors, tuners, etc. involved as well so we
can hopefully finance something nice. it would be an
opportunity for all the M3 owners around europe to
meetup, put faces to names, have fun at the ring, drink a
few beers, have a good time. we had 150 M3s once before,
this time we want to exceed that."
Any interest let me know.

Iguana,

The organisers are looking in to a closed track event and are costing it up. It is 15000 Euro for the track per day mid week. To that you have to add tow trucks, ambulances ect. For 100 cars it may be 200-250 Euro for the day, weekday. This is why this is a request for interest, in that when we know numbers we can see if it viable for a closed track event.

VR6Rallye, interest noted.

Nico, I'll ask. I can't see a problem, but then it is not my train set.

Steve

Some years ago, there was a turn out of about 150 M3s, which we would like to repeat. Intent is to have a central meeting area for all the cars, a tent, food, access to the track during "tourist days".

A firm date is not yet known. So we are thinking sometime in July / August.

It would be helpful for planning purposes to have an initial sign up list for those definately interested in coming to such an M3 meet.
If there is further interest, just copy the text in to your replay and add your name.

Thanks

Steve

There is to be some discussion on the other M cars attending, but it shouldn't be a problem.

Excellent - But i'm trying not to get too excited until I know if I'm allowed to play.

With an official TrackDay, what's the maximum number of cars allowed?
Maybe we can make it into some sort of Uber M-Fest'

It'll be good also to see the E30s all togethers.

I'll also offer to be the official snapper.

Is this plan being hatched over on S14Power?

If I get round to doing a few jobs on mine I'd quite like to come along depending on cash flow!

Gearbox layshaft bearings are a bit noisy and although I doubt they'll be an issue doing the minor millage I do, I wouldn't be happy taking it to Germany as it is.

I'm not 100% sure I want to do a full trackday in the E30 until I knew the ring a hell of a lot better but I'd do a few laps if the option was there.

A tad too early in the summer for me I'm afraid. Won't be able to get the time off school. I am going to 'the Ring' this year but during the summer break. Would have been amazing...BOO! I will take it out on my Year 12s tomorrow....

S14 Meeting 2010


This year we have planned another S14 meeting at the famous Nürburgring. It will be held from Friday 25 June thru Sunday 27 June 2010 and our meeting area during all of the days will be directly inside the GP circuit next to the main paddock---see "Event Area 2" in the map above. There will be a reserved parking area for our E30 M3s. We will have a large tent and seating area as well, where we will also meet in the evening (food and drink will be provided). In the immediate vicinity of our meeting area (within walking distance), you will have access to the main paddock, hot pits, spectator areas, rest rooms, Lindner hotel, restaurants, bars and "Eifel Village". The Nürburgring village is only a few minutes walk on foot, with additional access to various restaurants and Bed & Breakfast. The Nordschleife main entrance is just a few minutes away.

During the weekend you will find plenty of racing action in addition to our S14 meeting.

On the GP circuit, there will be racing the Radical Euro Masters, the national level German Radical Masters and also the Formula Superleague (formula cars with ca. 750 hp).

On the Nordschleife, there will be the GLP in the morning and in the afternoon the RCN race (both with entries from the E30 M3 faction).

We have picked these dates with a purpose in mind. The Saturday will allow for a proper S14 meeting where everyone can get to know each other, see the cars and exchange ideas. There is an extensive motorsport offering on the side and being positioned inside the GP circuit provides for easy access to a great infrastructure. It is expected to have much less traffic on the Nordschleife during this weekend since most of the Saturday will be closed for GLP and RCN. Fridays are typically a good day for lapping and the Sunday should be less crowded as well. So overall, we should get better quality time on the Nordschleife. The intent is to have a good blend of motorsport action, fun time reserved for lapping the Nordschleife and quality time spent meeting with other members of the S14 community.

On Saturday at 17:30, we have planned a parade lap of the Nordschleife with all of the E30 M3s. The track will be closed, exclusively for us, for this purpose. At 18:00, normal tourist lapping will begin and we will have about 1.5 hours of lapping. On Friday afternoon we will have about 5 hours of lapping and on Sunday all day.


The race organiser (Radical Germany) has assigned us a portion of the paddock named "Event Area 2" for the entire weekend. Special thanks goes to Radical Germany. We have planned to arrange for a large tent and with catering in the evening so that we are able to have dinner together and dont have to split up our group over multiple restaurants.

Organising this kind of event is not entirely without cost and we are asking for a small fee to help cover these: 20 euro per vehicle and 20 euro per person.

This includes the following:
- Weekend ticket to the GP circuit, Radical masters, Superleague and with access to all spectating areas and paddock areas. The ticket comes in the form of a special "Ring Card".
- Every Ring Card is pre-loaded with 5 euro which can be used in any of the shops / eateries
- 50% reduced admission price for the "Ringwerk"
- Free access during the entire weekend to the paddock and parking areas at Event Area 2
- Saturday night dinner including drinks (in our meeting area in the large tent).
- Tours to various spectating areas around the Nordschleife during GLP/RCN (especially of interest to first timers at the Ring)
- On Friday, the possibility to get passenger rides around the Nordschleife with experienced drivers


We will post you your tickets packet several weeks in advance.


If you are interested in attending, please sign up well in advance and get your rooms booked early as well. Everyone is responsible for booking their own hotel rooms, however, we can provide recommendations and assistance if required.
