Some of the Melans are thinking of going to the Nurburgring 24hrs race on 23/24th May, can anyone offer advice on camping, tickets etc? and is anyone else from CA going? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

oh and for anyone else that may be interested - ferry prices, for a car of 4 people travelling out fri morning and returning mon late afternoon it works out at £18.75 each! bargain Ive worked out the round trip will be 1016.6 miles, how much will that cost in fuel? (sorry im a proper girl ) we will probably be going in a 1ltr polo

It is within easy reach of the GP circuit but then you will end up spending all of your time watching from a modern sanatised F1 track instead of the Nordschleife. To be fair though, you can always hop in the car and drive to some of the other parts of the track. Do this on thu, fri or sun becasue once the race starts on Sat the roads are very busy. I have created a map for the event showing locations for camping. This is hosted on my site so, Mods, please remove if inappropriate. http://www.racetours.co.uk/nring%20map.jpg

......there are bogs and most of them have a bar.
Now there's an idea the ACO should adopt - would save the legs a bit Del

You are obviously unaware of the Melans Code of Conduct. It reads: Once at the track no driving shall take place as you shall be drinking from sun up to sun down. Note - sometimes these two times blend into one. Dx

I may even be persuaded to go! Then company car and fuel! Can easily fit you girls and cases in the car. Funny seeing Row and Ester get out the smart car at Spa two years ago though.

Dx And an excellent code of conduct it is too All the more reason to camp out on the Nordschleife then and you will have racing and beer only yards from your tent!

Depending on the seemingly never ending drain on funds, I could be persuaded to attend too. Its a long shot but I'll work on it. I don't think Lady PP will be too approving but you never now Sounds like fun..... but by her comment about last years LM of " You spent £60 on a race ticket to drink Guiness all weekend and ignore the cars"I think explaining I am going to Germany to do similar may fall on unpersuaded ears
