Nurburgring Prices and were to book
« on: 11 July 2010, 19:04 »

Also what cost would it be is i was to drive over via eurotunnel, etc and stop over 2 nights?

Any info from someone that has already been will be appreciated.

http://www.nuerburgring.de/en.html

You buy per lap at 22 Euros per lap for a single lap, or increasing numbers of tickets, the more you buy the less you pay.... just remember each lap's 12.9miles long.

Martin Bird runs Burgstube hotel is about 1/4mile from the track entrance. http://www.burgstube.com/ - +40 Euros per night per person.

May also be able to do a deal on track tickets.

If you fancy more of an 'experience' stay at Bren's place in Dollendorf (20km from track entrance): http://www.slidersguesthouse.com/

(it's a *bit* bike-oriented, but Bren's a top guy and a great host.... two of the fastest guys ever on the track run it, too)

Brens is 30-something Euros a night per person, plus 4Euros for cooked breakfast..... and he sells Oettinger beer  :grin:.  You'll need to have your evening meal elsewhere though (same as Martin's most evenings).

Pinnochios for pizza in Adenau - under 10 Euros

Pistenklaus in Nurburg for steak - over 25 Euros

Make time for spectating, as it's very much worth it and great fun.  You will also learn a lot about the track.  Also driving there, turn off at Eupen and pick up the 258 - it's a f*cking great drive to the place.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Cheers for that Diamond, think i will take your advise on Brens place.

Looking at going over next year and making a trip of it. You think £600 will be enough inc fuel for driving over?

Depends on the cost of the ferry.

£600 + ferry, if you do 10 laps, and stay two nights, I think.

Going from Scun you should consider the cost/time involved Hull-Rotterdam vs Dover-Calais - compare the online booking prices.

Beer would be extra, of course.  I'd skip it - a weekend and a few laps, plus drink could be sub-optimal.

As an addition to those prices, camping is 11eur per day (that catches you out a bit, as your charged for whole days on your arrival / depature)

Its close to the GP circuit entrance, the facilities are clean and agreeable, but nothing fancy. Feck load of mosquitos though!

I recommend pizza at pinnochios with a litre of bitburger to wash it down with, they also do takeaway for journey snacks on the way home!

Your major expense will be petrol and laps, bear in mind petrol is in the 1.50 a litre range over there and the exchange rate isnt all that favourable at the moment.

It will be the time of your life.

You will need more than a weekend

You will be hooked.

Was thinkin about that Diamond as i have relatives that live just outside Rotterdam, so could stop over there a few nights

Camping is a big No No, but didnt think about petrol prices over there.

So things i need to consider

Ferry Prices
Petrol for travel
Accomadation costs
Ticket Prices
Food & Beer costs

Do you have to change anything on your insurance to drive on roads in europe?

Double check that :afro:

You have to notify them you're going abroad - whether or not they'll be extra charges I'm not 100% sure.  When I went to Le Mans 4 years ago I don't think I had to pay anything extra - they just extend your cover for 30 days - like a green card of sorts I think.
