As far as im aware the opening dates/times aren't released until January 2011 for the year 2011 I could be wrong so someone please correct if I am!

....Exactly why I asked the OP if he'd checked the dates  :happy2: I'm fairly confident you're correct. Car manufacturer's test days and races get priority over Touristfarting days.

I think it's true to say that Ring trips tend to be organised on the forum but are very informal. Someone, as you have done, posts a date and others join in. Or someone posts a date to invite others to join them. It's just a matter of keeping an eye open for the topics.

Well I budgeted £1000 for everything.
That was for Fuel, Ferry from Hull-->Rotterdam and back, Ringside Hotel, Laps around ring, Beer, Food (oh those steaks)  :drool: everything!
I did spend the lot but it was well worth it  :notworthy:
I will be going on the next trip without a doubt. Again I will expect to spend a grand.

It can be done cheaper but it depends where you live really. You can get the chunnel, or the ferry from dover to calais (probably the cheapest option) but you will have a longer drive and more fuel costs getting to Nurburg.

I live an hour from Hull and Nurburg is only 3hrs from Rotterdam, so there is less fuel and driving, but the Ferry is dearer. Although the P&O Ferry to Rotterdam is like a mini cruise, and is the perfect way to start and end a Ring trip.

I will be going Hull-->Rotterdam again. Its Great.  :laugh:
