Going to the Nurburgring
« on: 24 September 2012, 22:18 »
Evening,

Next month i am off to the Nurburgring for a few days. I have tickets to drive the GP track however that is only for one day / morning / afternoon.

Im going to visit the Ring Werk museum and probably go to the VW museum at Wolfsberg. However, where else should i visit in that region? I will probably go look at the Nurburg castle and have a walk in the woods and spectate at the track too for a few photographs.

Where else should i go or have you visited.

Cheers

Mike

Have a lap with Sabine Schmitz around Nurgburg in a GT3 RS? :whistle:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Have to settle for the Boxster S in the garage... She would beat me in a Topgear Transit or Jag.

Yeah, what dates?

Spectating is where it's at.  You can get to a lot of the track to spectate and it's a lot of fun watching TF goons go round.  :grin:

Pinocchios for pizzas

Steak on a stone at Pistenklaus.

But really we need to know when you're going to be out there!
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Looks like it could be 9th or 10th, 17th, 23rd, 24th or 30th.

(PS - you're driving the wrong track  :grin:)

Yeah going out later in October ;)

I have heard that steak on a stone is good!

I have found a few threads on other forums that give you guides to getting to spectating points so will be doing that for a day.

The tickets were bought for me by the MRS. To be honest, i have never driven a track and have a new car. So im not sure if i will use them at all!

I would actually do Pinocchio's over Pistenklaus - the service at the PK stinks.

Adenaur Forst is worth getting to to spectate at, as is the Karussell, which is relatively easy to access from Brunnchen. At Karussell you can clamber up to the top of the billboard and look down to Klosteral as well, which is cool.  If you do that the amount of shattered car parts aroud the outside of the bend will give you the hint you should be careful there.  :grin:
