Seademon 0 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Theres loads of places to stay & camp around the ring but the Mercure in Koblenz is quite cheap and is a 4* hotel, I stayed there twice last year and was around £30 a night - same hotel in France was almost three times the price - Koblenz is roughly a 30 mins drive from the ring.You'll have to check the date you want to go with the organisers at the ring as it isnt open every weekend, closed some weekends for racing.

thegoth 5 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Have patience. There is absolutly no point booking before the timetable for tourist driving is announced! I think 'views of the 'Ring' is an under statment. The track comes within spitting distance from the first floor rooms. Good for an early start, not so good for hangovers.The entire Eifel region is a tourist attraction ( it's volcanic don't you know) and is stuffed with hotels/guest houses. Admitadly, the ones in Nurburg & Adenua do book up quick. But remember we are going to need a 15-20min drive to the 'Ring anyway, to nicely warm our engines.TG Link to post Share on other sites
Guest vwsyncro Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 well i think i would like to come to, or is it only for subscribed vr6 oc members i think it's better to stay in a hotel near the track, allot of crazy drivers on the roads arround the ring , especially bikes overtaking in corners ( Link to post Share on other sites

thegoth 5 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 A date for your diary. Not! The weekend 2-4 June is "Rock Am Ring" so there will absolutly be no tourist driving. The use it for a car park / camp site!Although with Depeche Mode and Placebo on the bill already I'll might just have to go anyway.TG Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hiya,A (provisional) 2006 timetable has been put together here: http://julesperry.com/ring-2006.htmCurrently the tourist opening hours are based on a report in a german bike mag so might change.TG Link to post Share on other sites

Seademon 0 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 A week! Hardcore! I'd be surprised if you have cars to drive home if your planning to go on the track everyday for a week even if you dont go off the track! Its good just hanging about in the car park but if Im there with my car I cant resist doing a few laps Link to post Share on other sites
simey 0 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Count me in but does depend on dates, anything after 10th or 11th July 2006 would be excellent. Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Going for a week will allow me to spread my lapping out rather then binging over a weekend. Just like the new drinking laws %-6 I did a mid week day trip last season and it's a different world. Thats what I'm after, a hand full of laps at the end of each day. Nothing hardcore at all. Very civilised in fact. Unlike my weekend trip. Not one of the worst but it was still chaos. For lapping I've mostly written any weekend off. I'd expect to overheat waiting in the queue to get off the track at the end of it's first lap. I'd be happy watching, taking photos & pax laps and having my VR6 seen in the (overflow) car park.TG Link to post Share on other sites
