Fuel - £300
Food/drink - £100

I think we spent about £1k last time, arrive fri, come home mon. However we bought a lot of laps, expensive fuel and nice hotel.

Snetterton do track days in your own car for £129. I'm gonna do at least one of these next year before nurburgring

Best way to go mate. If you treat the place with the utmost respect you will do well, if you don't know the corners slow down, don't go fast for the sake of going fast, and don't follow a GT2 and match it's cornering speed in a burgandy Astra CDX and all will be fine

I think its cool that people want to go out in a group but organising an actual CS event will prove hard.
Maybve if you keep your ears to the ground you may hear about a group of people going out from here and goin around that time but ensuring you book your own hotels etc

Sound advice right there. Like I said I will be going again, I'll keep people informed. It's so easy to organise, especially when your wife puts together a pink folder of all important documents

Opening times for next year haven't been released yet.
Northloop is the best place to keep track of all things Nurburgring releated.

I know it's open Xmas Day for sure, and I'm sure it's opening times are a lot lot less than last month but it's still open. The Northloop guys were out there in the snow the crazy kids.

1) takes massive organising
2) in classic corsasport way, 200 people will say yes, and 3 people turn up
3) its a massivly dangerous place, and with the genral age and possibly driver skil on here, i suggust its not the place to test your abilty
4) if you crash, which happens ALOT, you will be paying many thousands to the operators
5) People on here in genral struggle to get £30 together for a rr day, are they really ready to spend £600 for 3 days in germany ?
