VR6OC Nuerburgring Trip 2006


Recommended Posts

I might be up for this - I've been planning / thinking about the ferry to Santander in Northern Spain and a trip through Pyrenees - Monaco - Alps - Wolfsburg - Nurburg - Amsterdam and the ferry home from Rotterdam. Might take in a few other places but that's the bones of it for now.

i well up for it! Went last year, going this year & I'll go next year! Should be able to do it cheaper than that aswell, in all I spent about £250! I stayed in a hotel about 30 mins away from the ring - if you want the details Pete let me know - it had underground parking etc and wasnt very expensive.

Badboy - we took 6 cars and 2 bikes last year and we all spent around £250 but I didnt take my VR6 - I was in a E36 320i! Go to [link]www.eurothrash.com and have a look at the 2004 rally, we've got a trip diary and gallery of the weekend - If you've not been I cant put it into words how extreme a lap of the ring is! You'll be wanting to do lap after lap after lap! :D

It works out to about £6 a lap but you can buy a 1 lap ticket (15 Euros) 6 lap ticket (80 Euros) or a 12 laptap (155 Euros) ticket - I bought a 6 lap ticket - You dont have to do all 6 at once you can spread them out to last the day - you cant stay on the track for more than 1 lap in one go anyway, its all set up so you have to pull off etc - your car will thank you for it though believe me ha ha! Its great just looking around the car park at the cars that are there - Porsches, lambos, Ferrari's & loads of VW's! Lots of Mk2's there all stripped out and caged driven by the locals who know the track like the back of their hand 8)

250!!! Sound cheap! Though it would cost more than that in petrol.. Suppose it depends how fast you're tanking down there i suppose...

and what mods you have... turbo'd vr6' date=' lots ov vr6's to race, 1000+ mile trip or something. ouch, theres my £500 already. lol

im up for it though, i was going to suggest to my mate that we go after watching this.

When I did a ring trip last year I think I did around 700 miles - this year were going to Le mans (to watch the 24 Hrs) then to Paris, Nurburgring then Amsterdam and thats a 1600 Mile trip - tested the route last month in a diesel Zafira and it was agonising! Gran Turismo 4 is out on March 9th and has the Nurburgring on it right down to the smallest details -even has all the graffiti on the track! Only Golf in the game though is the R32 so Im gonna get practicing for the ring with that :P For this years trip we have the following taking part:

Golf VR6 (mine)

Sapphire Cosworth

Escort Cosworth

Twin Turbo Supra

Race Prepped Clio 172

Nissan 200 SX

E30 M3

E36 M3

Audi S3

Volvo T5

Plus a couple of others that havent paid deposits yet so as you can see I probably have the slowest car x) But I'll do 'em round the ring! 8)

We've got around 15 places left if anyone fancies coming - check out my website for details :)

Hey seademon- GT4 also has a Mk1 GTI and a beetle ;-)

I remember seeing adverts in EVO magazine for eurothrash....... Would prefer to go with the VR6 owners club cos then at least i have chance!!! lol Although VRmonster would probably like to shake a stick at em ;-)
