Hello all,

First post on the forum

I’m off to Nuburgring on Friday till Monday and the forcast is Sunny everyday till Friday then rain Friday, Saturday and Monday :angry: …then gets sunny again :angry:

Its my first time there so I am very excited and also very nervous ! going to be taking it easy though no hero racing for me !

I did the Ring when I was about 14 in the back of my Dads Renault 25 - my sister and I were sitting facing backwards telling him to move left or right whenever bikes were fast approaching…which was pretty much the whole way round! Our friends were behind us…in their VW Polo complete with roof rack and suitcases - their line round the Carousel was lets say ‘amusing’!

Have a great time, its the most amazing place :slight_smile:

Hubby and I hoping to do it on our bikes in the autumn :smiley:

Great weekend ahead of you. Not been there for a while but really enjoyed it. There was an M5 there being driven by one of the staff - -she didn’t need anybody to look out for bikes coming up behind her, in fact she was leaving quite a few of us for dead… She drives the Ringtaxi if you fancy a trip - not for the faint hearted:w00t:

HAVE A GREAT ONE MATE.

WILL HAVE TO GO ONE DAY WHEN I HAVE A BIKE THAT WILL MAKE IT:P

If you fancy a good steak try & eat at Pistenklause - just up the road from the ring, comes on a hot stone so you can cook it to how u like it :smiley: Waitresses are nice aswell :stuck_out_tongue:

Just looked it up on youtube - yes it’s her. She can make that BMW fly - no visible effort whatsoever. I would advise anyone to take the trip in the ringtaxi as it’s very unlikely you will experience anything like it again:w00t:

Yeah thats the one - Sabine Schmitz :slight_smile:

hello all,
Got back from Nuburgring Monday night and I can give it a 10/10
It was absouletely amazing and I would recomend it to anyone. We went with www.ringjunkies.co.uk and I have to give them 10/10 as well. It is terrifying the first few laps when you go out and all of sudden a Porsch GT3 appears on your back tyre ! but ring junkies took us out for 8 laps showing us the race line and making sure we were safe. I will defintely go back !
