Millie & I are currently mulling over the idea of the going to one of the Renault World Series's in France or Germany as well as the one in the UK. Anyone else interested in going??

The French one :francais: is going to be at Le Mans on July 18th - 19th (only 2 weeks after the UK one :ujack:) :crap: and the German one is at the Nurburgring on September 19th - 20th.

Looking at the proximity of the events I guess a trip to the Nurburgring might be a better option? However I did think that it would be nice for us to re-pay the french lads with a visit to one of their events as they came all the way to our ND last year??

I've been in touch with Renault Heritage & the Renault Alpine Owners Club & found out that apparently Renault have fallen out with the people who organise the German event so as a result they do not officially support it with their Histoire & Collection Team?! :scratch: I don't think this would be too much of a problem but wanted to let you all know up front.

Our plan is to take my car and exhibit it at the event rather than just go as a visitor?

Not bothered about the Le mans one if it is only 2 weeks after the uk. But id be up for Germany in september, we could maybe hang around for a day or so and get some laps in while we are there :burnrubber: :D

Yeah Millie & i would certainly be up for a hanging around a bit longer & taking in more of Germany than a quick dash round the ring!! German Beer & Sausages for the WIN!! :D

Sounds good :agree: last time went out, my and my mate visited Cologne (Koln). Only a 45 mins journey from where we stayed, and beats hanging around nurburgring when it was closed. Dont walk up the Cathedral though after you had a night drinking, you get rather dizzy with the 509 steps in a spiral staircase.

It would appear that this idea of mine is gathering pace somewhat now?? :agree:

Right then i think rather than being at the mercy of the RAOC club i'll see if i can get in touch with the person who is running the WSR German event & see if we can guarantee ourselves some exhibition passes for the event...... so make sure you're all looking to take your Renaults.... :scared:

I think we are gunna have to be quick in deciding on and booking a hotel, ive just been having a quick look in my lunch hour and very few hotels within 30miles or so of the 'ring have got more than 1 or 2 rooms available for the RWS weekend!!

Ive just got some quotes on the ferry from Hull-Rotterdam, it's a good option for those in the north or on the east of the country. It'll be £250 per car with a 2 or 4 bed cabin. So if you have 4 in your car it's only £62.50each. so far 4 cars

Me and Louise
Jaffa and Miller
Brose
Lomo and misses

are all definites for this and will be booking in the next few weeks. Leaving thursday 17th (arrive in rotterdam friday 8am) and return monday 21st (arriving back tuesday morning) If anybody else wants to do the overnight on the north sea ferry let me know and ill add it to the group booking.

Could do with some hotel options exshoppers.

Thank Duncain for looking into this...

TBH last time alot of us went via Norfolklingand i have to say i felt it was much better than P&O and alot cheaper than Eurotunnel.

The ferry was top class & no long cue for food etc. So for me Norfolkline gets the :agree:

How far away is it to pub, but for that price thats a bargain. Gather its just place to stay rather than B&B. friday to monday is that?

Friday to Sunday, if we wanted Friday-Monday its €2100 so that would be €87.5 per person..

As for pub social life i dont know, i will ask.

OK let me just update you on what i've been up to?!

Millie & I have booked to stay at the Hotel Reider for Fri - Sun (depart Sunday) through Booking.com. Click HERE (http://www.booking.com/hotel/de/rieder.html?sid=dc242e402ec1185ae06e2591197d605f;c heckin=2009-09-18;checkout=2009-09-20) for a link to the website.

That hotel is just 3.4km from the Ring and charging €160 TOTAL for a double room for that weekend so a bit of a WIN!! :agree:


http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn259/BigSteveT/Clipboard.jpg


As it stands at the moment I believe Mart & Duncan Grier have booked to stay at the same hotel through booking.com. Thankfully when you book through Booking.com you can cancel your hotel room right up to the day before you arrive so if plans do change you don't lose your money!! :niceone:

We are booked onto the Norfolkline ferry on Friday 18th September 2009 at 6:00am and paying only £17.50 for that crossing :eek: so it's pretty cheap!!

Millie & I are going to stay in Germany for a few days after the event & visit the Frankfurt Motor Show (which is on whilst we're over there) and also take a peek at the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen (lifetimes wish!) so we're not coming back home till Wednesday 23rd but there's plenty of choice of cheap ferries on Norfolkline.com (http://www.norfolkline.com/ferry/) so it's your choice when you come home.

As Penfold has mentioned earlier in this thread the Nordschleife is also open that weekend so if any of you wannabe ringers want to grab a few cheeky laps whilst you're over their for the weekend you can do so :smokin:




Opening times
Friday 18th 14:15 - 19:30
Saturday 19th 13:30 - 19:30
Sunday 20th 08:00 - 19:30

I have e-mailed the D'ARC again (who are organising the event) and confirmed that we are definately going over to the show so definately need access to tickets. I am planning to exhibit my Raider in collectors area for the whole weekend and attend the Gala Evening (if they have such a thing) on the Saturday evening. If anyone else is interested in doing this then let me know & I shall let you have a copy of the relavent application forms when I get them??

Mart
16-03-2009, 18:55
Aii mate, Bekki & myself are also booked in at that hotel. Cheers for the headsup about it :agree: :)

If you do manage to get your car on the stand there, let me know please bruv, as if I can wangle getting my gtt on there too, I'll take that for the weekend instead of the Evo.

Looks tempting but do you still have access to breakfasts in the hotel or are you down for a bit of self catering?!


Breakfast is included at the hotel :) tbh if the numbers are right i think the option of the apartments are good, i have asked how the apartments are laid out, ie 1 master room, 2 double room's and 1 double pull out bed or something...

Penfold aka The Dealer
16-03-2009, 20:07
Ok the 3 apartments are like this...

8 bedrooms, Each room has single beds

So i think that apartments are something like
Apartment 1
2 Bedrooms
Apartment 2
3 Bedrooms
Apartment 3
3 Bedrooms


So i would say 1 Double room & the other rooms are triples or 4's.... now this is fine if you dont mind sharing with the lad's, but if ur taking ur miss's perhaps not a great trip?

Open to suggestions...

Can't see Millie or Bex sharing with any more stinky men than the ones they have to share with at the moment?! :wasntme:

But as for a lads weekend away it would be a good laugh i'm guessing with dorms like a school trip! :laugh:

Right Then,

I had slept on it & as good as the apartments are i feel there not for us & in some case's its 8 sleeping in 1 room!!:eek:

But Gunter's is Empty, We know the hotel, we know the staff....

I have asked them to email me the full hotel bedroom layout so we can get cracking on this...

Gunters is €35 per person/ per night & if you want to stay friday - Sunday/Monday its not a problem...

I am going to stay there Friday - Monday perhaps even tuesday depending on my work load nearer the time.

So then I need a list & numbers for those staying at gunters... I will be asking for a £50 non-rufundable deposit per room by the end of month, as that will save any issue's if people drop out last min.

Penfold, don't forget that my option is only €40 per person per night (based on a double room) only 4 miles from the Nurburgring (versus 14 miles to Gunter's) and if you book it through Booking.com you can cancel it right before the day you arrive & still not lose any money!?

No brainer for me pal & some of us have already booked in there?!

WTF?! (just composing myself before this little rant) :laugh:

What with all this negative beef?! (Copyright M. Dilley)

1) We've been on several ring trips & never had a man down there or back (touch wood) so what makes you think that your car won't make it?

2) Since when do you use the Evo's aircon?! Haven't you disconnected it?

3) Since when is the Evo a haven of tranqulity with those brakes & exhaust?!

There is near on 20 people going to Rieder, so we would have packed out Gunters without those extra people who you have mentioned though. Only way we could have coped was to go to that Hotel which was miles away which could have got everyone in.

As regards the rest of the lads none of them have posted anything on this topic listing their interest apart from J & I believe he's booking a room sharpish? The northern boys (StuTHC & gang) have already booked.

The Reider has 60 rooms so it's not small, we're just filling it up. :D

There's a few more hotels on that booking.com webiste if people need to find rooms.

Penfold aka The Dealer
17-03-2009, 15:14
Well we can still pack out Gunters with the extra people if they wish to do so...

Not had a reply from Rieder hotel- they are slow at replying to the Emails, But incase they are fully booked we can book people in at Gunter's.... I know a few people have phoned me up and asked whats happening...

Simple answer is unless i get an email from Rieder saying otherwise they are fully booked & we would have to do the trip over 2 hotel's...

Also i have found another Guest House in the same small town as Rieder, just awaiting an email from them...

When I was considering coming I contacted the Hotel Rieder, they said they have 15 rooms still available. They are on 3 hotel websites and allocate a certain amount of rooms to each. This means that although it shows they're fully booked on the link that Steve posted, you can still book directly through them :)

No, ashy pulled out about 2.8seconds after Michelle found out he'd put his name down to go :rolleyes: The booking still stands thou as robbo will now be stopping in that room.
Dawn, that contradicts what the Hotel Rieder told me when i spoke to them to try change my double room to a suite. When i phoned them (19th March) they said they only had 4 single rooms left.

Not that it makes any real difference, but Bex & l will be there Thursday night onwards, so I'll text yous if the hotel is akin to the Guest House Paradiso, Fawlty Towers, Bates Motel, etc :D

For anyone travelling back Sunday, we're on the 6pm ferry from Dunkerque if that helps.

I've just noticed that Renault have now launched the Nurburgring (http://www.worldseriesbyrenault.com/nurburgring/en/home.html#/home) Renault World Series webpage.

Not sure what the craic is with the website though as when you click to apply for tickets you are forwarded to a PDF document that I guess you print off which is your ticket?? Have a look HERE (http://www.renault-ecommerce.de/wsr-2009/Eintrittskarte_WSR_2009.pdf).

All those with their names down should print a couple of copies of these tickets for themselves.

I'm still waiting to hear about paddock passes for those of us who want to exhibit their cars.

Steve, the application for this years WSR at Silverstone says the same thing about what qualifies for the collectors area. It is very ambiguous about what can be displayed, iirc some people thought they couldn't display at silverstone because of the wording of the application (alpines, pre 1990 etc...) probably need to speak to the German Stephen Dell equivilent and confirm what can be shown.
If we go for cars before 1990 then a lot that are travelling wont be able to display, including you in the raider

Probably won't be the same hotel as you guys as I imagine it's gonna be full. May provisionally book Tiergarten while I'm there next weekend.

Could be a new car on the scene for me around mid-September. Don't think I could resist a Ring trip if it is.

No mate, couldn't bring myself to part with it just yet. Got my eye on something but need a few things to fall into place before it can happen. Chat about it when I see you next. ;)

Not that it's going to be busy enough at WSR this year but I saw in PPC magazine that they're organising their annual Ring Trip to the Nordschleife for that weekend also! :eek:

It's going to be busy there all weekend so I reckon those of you who want to do some laps need to be doing them on the Friday Afternoon / evening!

Have a look at the opening times HERE (http://forum.nurburgring.org.uk/mycalendar.php?month=09&year=2009&sid=a1bc5f2039830eeae040989271be4e1f)

After this weekend at nd and hearing the stories at track days in the uk from days gone by, i have decided to pull out of this ring trip & trips for 2010.

Instead i will concentrate to work on my cup car & to do a few UK tracks & hopefully a few RTOC members will come along to.

Anyway guys & girls, enjoy this trip. :)

Maria and I are still going but we will be in her Volvo now as Clio is dead, Megane is just a bare shell and not trusting the SLaguna as its rapidly dying. Could only manage 20mph up hills it used to do 60 easy. :cry:

It is still not looking good for me on this trip :( vx is now 100% getting sold. Found the fault on my car that ruined my track attack on Saturday making me go all slow and easy :( faulty lamba, running lean so lucky it never went pop lol

Sold the hard top and my spare suspension last night and my spare wheels (£1800 in the bank) which helps clear a debt :)

And vx should be going to a new home in the coming weeks, but will be back soon with something a bit fruity as always although it will be hard to top the vx when its on form

So as it stands I have the diesel of doom and no cash :( need to stop the spending and sort some boring life challenges out

Thank fully I got to spend the last month touring round Europe and got my fix on track at the ring also :)

Gutted :(

Shopboy (et all), if you can get your car sorted in time, there's an rtoc UK trackday already in the pipeline for Mid November.

WTF is going on???

First things first,


After this weekend at nd and hearing the stories at track days in the uk from days gone by, i have decided to pull out of this ring trip & trips for 2010.

What stories have put you off going to the Nurburgring?? You're one of the hardcore club 'ringers & have been their loads of times & now you're not going on the WSR trip and any more????????? :scratch::scratch: I don't understand???

WSR Nurburgring is all about us going to the show & representin the RTOC & not necessarily going on track?? You know yourself that it's a social thing more than anything!!



I will be dropping out too sorry people.

What's happened Logg?? Did you kill your car at the ND??

As for you Duncan I know what you're going through at the moment mate so totally understand. If you want to come but don't want to drive i'm sure we could find a seat for you & Sarah if needed somwhere??

Steve you have taken it the wrong way, i meant hearing the good things about the UK Track Days, the fun and games that were had a few years back... - Tricky bashing the hell out out some metal armco to put the seats in T-Cup, Bill putting water/methanol in the petrol tank, Dougal getting to the airport with out a passport- cos technically he is an american....

All this fun & games have made me want to do the same, I have been to the ring about 6 times now & every time had a great time, would recommend it to anybody, but for this year i would rather put my time & money towards the Cup car & get myself sorted better for 2010, maybe sneak a track day or two before x-mas... :)
