I'd love to go round the ring - I know the course off by heart (but only on GT4 so I would be taking it pretty slow... but at least I'd know if it's left or right).
I think I'd prefere to go when I have a quicker car though - would be a bit shit in a FWD car with not that much power I reckon, bikes and faster cars constantly buzzing around and passing you!

Brad got there before me,
Best person to organise this sort of trip is someone who has done it before, I imagine its alot ot organise and take on if you havent been before.
I'd be up for going for some pure europe banter. Couldnt care less if I didnt go round the track
Oh my just the thought of the CorsaSport posse going over the channel tickles my funny spot.
Also like Adam says, we seem to have problems with getting people to go to track days based in our country, maybe aim abit lower and work your way up?

right then.. if people wanna have a chat with other that have already organised it... so we know roughly how much we are looking at per person/car for a weekend (staying in hotel near the track)
that would be ace... but as others have already stated, this site has a tough enough time getting some peeps together for a RR day let alone a trip to Germany

Myself and JR were going to purchase a car for such event as we both really would love to do the Nurburg
Only problem i can see is as mentioned above if we have enough trouble organising a RR day a trip to the Nruburg may seem a bit 
Might be best to get a number of deifinates then just tag along with a different club like MIG or Passion Ford

they go midde of may each year i beleive,im sure they wouldnt mind if we all went along with them!
Its a long way, i drove from essex to the ring a few years back in 11 solid hours driving at 90 mph all the way
stayed in hohe acht lovely are and hotel!!
its waaay to much to organise by ourselves and needs lots of time and planning

I'd love to go but it does cost a lot & I'd much rather spend money tuning my car than breaking it in Germany
