2010 Nurnberg Ring 24hrs

[Jambon]

Last year small group of us wanted a change from the LM24hrs and went instead to the Ring24hrs. We were very surprised how few Brits seemed to have made the trip. I wouldn't mind looking to see who is thinking about going this year. This year we leave the UK on May 13 and return on Monday 17th. Who else?

I did it with a mate a few years a go. a good change from LM, but quite different... mostly German spectators ( surprisingly )

the jerries are professional drinkers though make LM look like a shandy drinkers convention !!!!

This year is promising to be a great race with more big teams and famous races than any in recent history. Don't miss it!

I'd very much like to go, but fear I've left hotel-booking too late already!?!!??

I was looking at rooms for a group about a month ago - no chance.
When i was looking most of the hotels within 15 miles of the 'Ring had only two or three doubles and twins left each.
So if you want to go you'd best crack on and book whatever you can find asap!

A group of us went last year and had a great time as a change from LM.

We stayed in http://www.hotel-an-der-nordschleife.de/

Lots of Germans, obviously, but all very friendly, can sit where you like in the grandstands, the classic cars were fantastic. Those M1's sound amazing at full chat, stayed up late into the night seeing the cars come down into Breidschied bridge (sp?) and on the Sunday we went into the woods to see other parts of the track and veiwing locations. We had fantastic weather which helped and then drank far too much Eiffel fire

This year should be good as Walter Röhrl will be running in a Porsche RSR.

we have around 10-12 of us going down this year in 4 cars. some newbies and some old hands of the last 5 years running. Awesome spectacle and very different from LM. We are crossing early Thursday and returning mid afternoon Monday using the tunnel. Happy to meet on route for a convoy if anyone fancies it. We're camping at mullenbach as I gave up years ago on the local hotels. Even if you get there first, they will often not commit to rooms until their regular visitors confirm/deny their presence.

forgot to say - if you are going down you might want to sticker up so visit the hollographics site

I am thinking about doing the N24 this year, I have an people carrier that runs veg oil so should be cheap to get over there and back. Can anyone tell me how much camping is and an entry ticket?

We have a group of 11 going in seven cars to N24 and it our first trip, done LM several times but this year fancied something different.
I am looking for help and information about the area and what’s going on away for the track, ie places to drink things to do. We have a hotel booked, are the track tickets easy to get hold of or do we needs these before we arrive ? what are the best web sites to visit for race info ?

Pistenklause restaurant in Nurburg - fab Argentinian steak on a hot stone. Worth killing for. I really must stop telling people about it as it is getting harder to get a table at the big events at the Ring!!I suggest going late afternoon rather than later in the day. No problem getting tiokets on the day as it is hard for them to get to 'capacity' on a 12 mile circuit....
Enjoy (I know you will!!).
