Quality, need more pictures Mr B.....

D's said she'll let me take the astra over there, im pleased.... (in fact, she doesn't mind track action at all ) Result.

AS you say, roads are SO much better than ours. BIt of a mare in France when it rains as it doesn't run off the road so quick so like a big shallow river of water...

How much per lap?
Whats the accomodation around the area like price wise?

How much you spend on Petrol?

16 euros for a lap, but the more you buy at once the cheaper it is. think i used 3 tanks of fuel at the ring. accomodation around the ring can be pricey, the cheap ones get booked up months and months in advance.

I found us a Hotel in a town about 20 mins west of the ring, cost £190 for 2 people for 5 nights B+B. was very nice actully, really friendly and clean, comfy beds.

You can camp at the ring for about £6 a night, but i dont do tents, camping and general outdoorsness.

if someone takes a laptop to pvs i will bring a DVD with all my stuff on.

I definately want to go in the near future, maybe next year?

People who are scared of track days, give me a break - drive within your limits and you'll be ok. Most track days I've ever been to the only people who damage their car were driving it past the limit of their control, or conditions were v.poor like pissing with rain.

definatley uber cool

E16, thats not toooooo bad, i mean, your paying to go on one of motor racings most historic circuits. They should at least clean the paint of the circuit for that price though ha ha.

I camped when we went to belguim, i know what you mean, its good fun, but when sitting in a car for loads of time, you want to feel clean and refreshed. Don't want no tiredness around that track as you found out.

I couldn't take my bike there, its just toooo much for me at the moment, but cannot wait to take a car there

right in the middle of nurburg town. do you know where the hotel and restraunt is with all the cars and stuff on the side? paddock hotel i think it says. On that same road its about another 400 metres down the hill on the right, you go down a little street and its just on the right.

Oh im not saying your bad, i'd do the same. Just wish they would allow full videos..

Can you have 2 people in the car also when doing a lap?
