Title: Who'll be at the Nurburgring 1000km this weekend?
Post by: smokie on July 11, 2006, 11:47:36 am
Have we done this already? I can't find it if we have...

I'm travelling Dover Boulougne on Friday evening, overnight in St Omer, and should arrive at the track mid to late afternoon Saturday, where I will start DfH.  :P

I'm heading for the same camping we used last year.

I'm guessing Werner & hgb as well as DfH. Anyone else?

Unfortunately I still can't confirm, I might need to go on a business trip >:(

Oh no Werner, that no good news...   :-\

The weekend will be quite compressed, see here for the schedule:
http://www.lmes.net/uk/nurburgring/programme.asp

The support program looks cr@p to me.

I'll be there on friday but just to deliver the cakes. Then back on early saturday morning. I'll camp at the same place as you, smokie and DfH.

The weather forecast promises LM like weather.

It seems that there's a very nice support program
at Spa (just 140 kms away), see here: http://www.spa-francorchamps.be/spahistoric/site_uk/index.htm

...and only €10! Maybe I'll leave St Omer early and drop by for a few hours on my way to Nurburgring!!

Just checked the timings & route. Spa is definitely do-able en route for Nurburg so I may get an early start and go there.

So if I stay to the end of Spa (17:25) I may not arrive at the camping until 19:30. I have paddy's & hgb's numbers in my phone so will call when I arrive. I guess you will be at the bar at the top of the camping... ::)

Do you think I will have a problem getting into the camping at that time, without a booking?

I think you'll have a problem looking at their website: http://www.camping-am-nuerburgring.de/ :-\

I'll ask on arrival, and if needed will get you tickets.

I did, it's all foreign to me!  ??? ???

It'd be great if you got me a ticket Paddy - however what if the front gate is closed???

Maybe I should drop the Spa idea...

DfH lot, when do you plan to arrive ?
Title: Re: Who'll be at the Nurburgring 1000km this weekend?
Post by: Paddy_NL on July 12, 2006, 09:30:05 pm
First will arrive Friday night, but that's more PLM related. My ETA is about 11, after picking up something up at Heilbachsee as we forgot a toy for my son a fortnight ago at CenterParcs.
From there on it should be easy, just put up the large tent and go trackside. Qualifying isn't on untill half past four, so it's easy peazy from arrival onwards :)

Some of the die-hards will try out Cologne-centre the night before though, I hope there will be any beer left in that town after they're done... :-\

No worries Paddy. Cologne has several breweries. It'll never run out of beer.
