going to nurbergring for a blast on the public sessions next weekend, (saturday night 7-8 and Sunday morning 9-12). Staying in the Dorint on the start finish straight....

Any advice from anybody thats been? Do I need to take a Helmet for the track etc? Whats the Dorint like, it seems cheap at £50 for a 4 star Hotel??

I know the organised days are supposed to be better but in the area already and at £50 for the hotel plus £30 petrol to get there it seemed a good opportunity.

Was excellent weekend, well reccomended.

Only did 11 laps, but with each lap at circa 14 miles thats not bad going I guess.

Was in black 996, saw a couple of UK cars there, red Boxster S, Red 964RS, Blue Supra - anybody here?

And a 170mph blast down the Autobahn on the way back.

bad luck on the car.

we got the hoverspeed sea cat for £95 return and stayed in the 4* Dorint Hotel on the start / finish line at the new Nurburgring for £53 for the night. This was a special internet rate.

Track Wise we did the 11 laps, a 5 and a 6 lap ticket which was about €130 or £80.

Well worth it, even with Petrol its still not far diferent from a UK track day and at 14 miles a lap I doubt you normally get 154 miles in on your average UK track day.
