A proposal: 1st Annual TCL Nürburgring Day - April ??, 2012

Feel free to post in there...

There are a handful of Europeans and Brits as well as some American servicemembers and expats that frequent the Car Lounge... So I thought we could maybe put together a Nürburgring day sometime in April. The weather should be nice and best of all it won't be as crowded as it would be in the Summer.

I'm trying to get two of my colleagues to join in... My brother is going to be in Austria too - so he might be coming up. Is anyone else interested? We can do some laps, check out the other cars, and get some great food at Sabine Schmitz' family restaurant.




Tourist Drive schedule: http://www.nuerburgring.de/en/angebo...dschleife.html

The 14th and 15th will be the weekend: There's a VLN race (http://www.vln.de/index.gb.php) on Saturday and Tourist Drive all day Sunday...




Does anyone have any constructive input or ideas?

[JonLott]

I am sure we can get quite a few people, not all VW, to from the KMC. Come on people, get off your asses and let's talk this up. Don't want it to fall through like the camping trip we tried to get together last year!!

[NoDubJustYet]

I don't care if they want to bring a Trabby!

IF my co-workers come they'll be bringing a Saab 9-3 and an STI!

[m.u.n.d.o.]

Ill be there!

Too bad I can't make this year's meetup, but I'll be there next year! Can't wait!

[bigbyrdman]

I'm down to go. I'm sure I can grab a few guys to go also.

Cool. The more the merrier!

Would anyone else besides me be bringing a VW made BEFORE the turn of the century?

(probably not, but it's worth asking)

[NoDubJustYet]

Hard to say... Show up and we'll find out!

[jarrodmcmillian]

I am going to try to make this, would bring the GTI, would be fun to do a few laps before I head back to the states.

[Sacred Disorder]

Im in. Hockenheim ring will be having some open track days in May as well. Should try to get something together.

[NoDubJustYet]

I added you to the list in The Car Lounge...

What's the word on Hockenheim? I'd love to get a few laps, you know, just to say I did it.

I should be in the Stuttgart area in June when my brother is in Germany to visit. We want to hit the Porsche Museum... how often do they have tourist drives at the Hockenheimring??

[77kafer]

Now this looks like fun: http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/10/t...-in/#continued none of this going on in New York this year.

Here is the link to Hockenheim Ring

I'd be down, had I not already planned a trip back to the US on the 15th....

[NoDubJustYet]

Bummer.

Hopefully we can do it again next year! The corresponding thread in the Car Lounge is generating a good amount of interest...

Sorry man, I'm in the states until around the 6th of April. You need to have them in by then so you can be driving on them and make the needed adjustments. Start a thread and see if anybody is willing to give you a hand man. Good luck!

[vacationdave#1866]

I will bring the wookie out for this How about we set a time and place like a store parking lot and we all ride to the ring together so there is no confusion?
