THE RING 2009

[Diamond Hell]

theres LOTS of us mk5ers going over next year but we havnt yet set a date, 

Is depreciation THAT bad on G5s now?

You do realised you're only third party (at the maximum) insured when you're on the track, don't you?

So if you can it (as those with higher-powered hot hatches seem to a bit) you've lost your car - no money back.

Last year I saw an 06 plate Focus ST and a 53 Type R Civic heading off to the crusher after a dose of over-enthusiasm (one of them on their first lap).

Don't get me wrong, I wish the G5ers all the best going out there, it's just important to get a number of things very clear before heading out there.

Once you've planned which weekend you want to go to the ring do you have to book your tickets or can you arrive and drive without hassle?
(obviously making sure that weekend is a Tourist Fahren one)

[Diamond Hell]

Arrive in car park (after queuing for age on the road to get to it).

Walk up to the ticket machine with money in hand.

Insert money.

Take ticket.

Go and get in car and get back into the queue (unless it's off season, or really early, or late in the day).

Insert ticket when at barrier.

Drive one-way toll road.

It is advisable to book accommodation.
