Title: Touristenfahrten Dates (Ring)
Post by: rdfcpete on February 24, 2014, 12:50:12 pm: Guys,

Looking to return to the Schleife' for a Touristenfahrten day this year in August/September, we went in Sept last year which worked out perfectly annual leave/weather wise.

All the available calendars I can find(?) don't have any public/Touristenfahrten dates in for August and September, so far. May, June and October have quite a few dates however.
We booked quite late last year (April or later) so maybe I'm jumping the gun, but want to get everything booked and out the way - it's quite a tango.

What point in the year are the Aug and Sept dates usually announced?

Thanks :happy2:

Yes. They can't announce all the TF dates until the full motorsport calendar is booked. It's nothing unusual.

First year in many a year I won't be going, I think leaving the missus with 2 kids will be a bit much to ask :grin:
