Depending on numbers an upgrade on the ferry for us coming back last time was worth every penny, very relaxing

Costs are obviously higher if you drive out on your own and have your own room, if you share with someone or take a partner it roughly halves the cost.

Fuel - £300
Hotel - 4 nights @ ~ 80 euros a night.
Ferry - £60
Laps - 26 euros each i think (this year) or 4 laps for 95 euros ?
Food & Drink - whatever you choose to spend!
European breakdown cover if you don't have it already.

When i go with the wife, we end up spending about £1000 between the two of us, so £500 each.

Just totted that lot up and i'd say that was pretty much spot on Steve. With 8 laps of the ring and approx 140 Euros spending money for your food and drink you won't get much change out of £900 exchange rates depending. That's for one on their own.

Last year with SES was my first year and loved the experience. The area is amazing and truly beautiful with some of the best roads you can imagine. There's car porn wherever you look. I didn't find the food costs too bad and there's a really good value pizza place in Adenau.
I loved it so much that I was back there again in August
I'd wholly recommend it.

That's exactly what everyone says mate, needs to be done. All that will stop me is not being able to get the time off of work which hopefully won't be a problem. Gatebil is another overseas event I'd love to attend....one step at a time though

Pretty decent compromise though mate. One of, if not the, most glamorous sporting event in the world

TF prices for 2013 have just been released:
http://bridgetogantry.com/2/index.ph...uristenfahrten

Lapticket prices for Nordschleife Touristenfahrten from January 1st, 2013:

1 lap: 26,- € (same price as 2012)
4 laps: 97,- € (€2 more than 2012)
9 laps: 202,- € (€5 more than 2012)
25 laps: 499,- € (€9 more than 2012)

I think thats pretty good actually, considering all thats going on over there at the moment - was expecting them to ramp the prices up to try and cash in!

I could be up for this if I got the money and if I still got a job in the army as my regiment 5scots is getting disbanded next year due to cut backs so I will keep you all informed and let you know nearer the time .

The list at the moment is to gauge interest, nothing can be booked until The Ring calendar is published in January.

Those on the list will obviously have priority with regards to the comfort rooms.

This a brilliant trip, and if you're like me once you've been you'll want to go again and again.

I officially have permission to go now and a co-pilot!

Definitely something to aim for and a bright light at the end of what seems a very long tunnel!

Looking forward to it, first time and all that!

Hopefully any passing will be in a straight line facing forwards and not sideways or backwards with a look of terror on my face!

I'm in, providing I have a scoob by then. I really need to decide what I want. One minute its a classic, the next an 05 Blob STI. Tho, 05 Blobs appear to be more than early hawks at the moment

If i were you Lucky, i'd go with the 05 blob. Good classics are becoming very rare now and most of them (even the nice ones) seem to be suffering from rust in the usual places (unless you happen to find one which has been looked after like Scotts!).

I've added both you and Jura to the provisional list as TBC in case we have to cap numbers at some point. We'll probably be taking deposits in Jan or Feb.

1. BIG"E"+ 1 - twin
2. Nick & Sian (Comfort Double)
3. Shane and Little Bro - Twin
4. Steve & Claire (Comfort Double if possible, otherwise normal double!)
5. Hongkongfooi + Sim (hopefully) Comfort double- lots of spooning
6. Greg + 1 - twin
7. SilverSurfer + 1 - Twin
8. Steve(Bolesroor)+ Liz (Comfort Double if possible?)
9. ScoobyStu + 1 (twin)
10. Tomma + 1 (twin)
11. Jura (TBC)
12. Lucky (TBC)

Once the dates are set, let me know if anyone has a spare space for this trip. I'd love to come along as I've never done the Ring before. There's probably some kind of 'double entendre' in there but it's getting late. You have any room in your motor HongKong?

Just had email from dfdss ferries with 20% off prices so that will be £72 return. We have paid less than that though so here hoping for better deals

I will have a chat with Wanda this weekend and try and convince her that its a good idea to go I might struggle as where going to Isle of Man with the sc00b in March...so that will be 2sets of tires and pads then!!
Seeing all the cool snaps last year made me jealous! I don't want to say it but... has anyone ever managed to organise proper insurance for the ring? And if so...could they point me in the general direction.

Dave unless you are a mad man smoking your tyres at every opportunity there is no way you'll do that amount of tyres and pads. Come with us and you'll see it's great! I doubt you will do that many laps of the ring anyway as its expensive

Do it Dave

And yeah, you won't even notice the wear on your tyres and brakes tbh, it takes too long to learn the circuit so you won't flat out everywhere.

Its a cracking trip tho

Only another 4 months to add then.

I have just received the following email

Dear Mr. BIG"E",

Thank you for your inquiry!

At the moment, there are only the opening times of the Nordschleife for January available. Further opening times will follow in the next few weeks. You can see our actual opening times under the following link:

http://www.nuerburgring.de/en/angebo...dschleife.html
With kind regards,

There is an event called the IDM which is a bikes event.

I believe I am correct in thinking that we went one year and there was a bike event on on the GP circuit?

So I hope this will not affect our trip.

Yes Ian - i've looked into this IDM event and its on the Grand-Prix-Strecke (GP circuit) so the Nordschleife should be open as normal I believe. The only noticeable thing might be more bikers around than normal.
