I am putting my name down now, although I'm not sure what I will be driving yet

I have the perfect hotel situated just two minutes drive from the entrance to the Nurburgring. Visit www.ringhaus.com for full details, the full hotel name is Altes Forsthaus. I'm telling you this hotel is awesome, the accomodation is great, the food is fantastic and the small town of Nurburg is just 5 minutes drive away, they have a pizzeria which I thought was quite nice and a few other hotels which have their own restaurant too.

Skeezie32, where do you normally stay? When I went over a number of chaps from the Club GTI and Seatcupra.net forums stayed at a hotel which is in Nurburg itself situated down a little gravely road off the main road which goes through the village. There were road works at the time, the hotel they stayed at was off the main road but the road it was on goes through some fields parallel to the main straight of the track and this little road leads to a bridge which goes over the track and meanders toward the Altes Forsthaus I mentioned above.

These are the two main hotels I know of anyway.

I would be very interested in putting graphics on my car.

R+C You can put those graphics wherever, the rear passenger windows seem like a good idea tbh,

Not sure on costs yet as i really wanted to see i this was going to be a viable trip which looking at the response it seems to be.

I'll research further into it today ie hotels etc, I know fifty and Golfgirl have been before so no doubt there'll be PM's coming thier way. :o

Oh if Tams going then does that mean we're all going to be upset cos his cars got turbo and we havent !! lol

I'm up for this! What about incorporating parts of Italy, Austria and Switzerland (Stelvio Pass, Dolomites, Bormio, Lake Como etc.) as part of the trip?

When I went in August of this year we stopped off in Amsterdam for a few days first, I'd love to go back there again

Thats where SatNav comes in handy, seriously if I had to use a map to get there when I went in August I suspect it would have taken me a week to get there.

Have you been before VC? Where are you staying? I wish I was back there now sampling the delights of the Greenhouse Effect Coffee Shop. Be sure to say hi to the girls for me

I went with a few friends, each of us in our own cars we travelled from St Malo, France to Amsterdam then on to the Nurburgring and we stopped for petrol a few times on the way. Indeed, not much change out of £200 in petrol alone I suspect.

You mainland dwellers will likely get the boat to Calais iirc thats the most common port to head for which is closest to the Nurburgring.

I wouldn't worry too much. When Neil and I went a few years ago with the Rover Coupe owners club, we were in a NASP and others were in turbos and Neil was the quickest around the circuit.

I'm sure Neil would love to go again but at the moment we can't commit to anything :(

Is this just for the folks from here? There are 2 others that might be interested in a MK4 V6 4motion and a Cooper S Works?

At this rate we might have the whole of the ringhaus booked out just for us. Nearly all rooms are currently free throughout May so now all we need in theory is dates.

Ok lets decide on where people would like to stay, Ideally not far from the track and also not at the track as its much more costly.
Anyone any ideas if they have been before ?
