« on: December 20, 2012, 06:24:01 pm »

You've not looked very hard  :wink: Destination Nurburgring has 2 dates around Easter - however it isn't open to punters yet, only previous customers.

Keep your eye on their site.

Hurdy and I took our cars on DN's first 'closed' trackday at the 'Ring - It was far better than a Touristfarten day and included part of the F1 circuit as well as the Nordschleife.

Combining it with Spa either on the way there or the way home is the perfect thing to do. Spa is even better in my opinion.

Yip looks a right better experiance those days, I think they are meant to be a lot better for first timers as they are not as busy.

....Not just better because they are less busy on track but also because most of those on track are usually more experienced drivers and not those who are trying to beat a lap time they achieved on Playstation etc. You don't get the cars and bikes and small coaches full of tourists all on the track at the same time either. On Touristfarten days the 'Ring is technically a one-way public toll road and so anyone can drive it.

Just been on DN site for the easter trip and you have to book the 2 days together, and the 1st day is only half day 1-5  for a grand total of £749.00   :surprised:
I have booked Spa but will only be spectating and doing the tourist days this trip to the Ring, last years DN Day was more like a tourist day anyway with all the stopages and novices on track,

It was £500 for a day last year, so £750 for a day and a half makes sense - no?

I'm booked on DN9  :happy2:

I have been close to booking this one with BAT.  http://bookatrack.com/-uF?1467&New&&&

The price is the same but the times fit a little better with the half day second + the GP circuit is open the night before on the 31/07/13.  :innocent:  :driver:

Have you done the GP before? I thought it was pretty naff, maybe I'm just being harsh though because of what's next door?
