Renault World Series Nurburgring, September 18th-20th & Ring Jolly

[stuTHC]

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

I've e-mailed the organisers to query that & told her we've got some members with Clio V6's that want to exhibit (Lomo!)

I'm pretty sure it's cars up to build year 1990 so my Raider's ok! - If not the trips off!!

[Big Steve - Raider]

Right Guys, I want to get our application in ASAP to ensure everyone who wants to get into the special parking area can do so i'm putting a cut off date of midnight this Friday for you to make up your mind of what you want to do.


As I explained in the PM the options are:

1. Renault Parking Sat/Sun
2. Special Parking (For cars before 1990) Sat/Sun

Please can the following people let me know what you want to do?

• Duncan McMahon
• Andrew Robey
• Stuart Peiri
• Dale Jarvis
• Paul Mullineaux
• Matthew Clements
• Andrew Robinson

I'll be PM'ing you all anyways

[Duncan Grier]

Steve sorry not replied to the pm yet but as the car is not even Renault I figured I will not need to fill anything out and just part in the normal area's

Just need some tickets :P

[Big Steve - Raider]

Yeah don't worry matey i had you down in the Driving a Plastic Car so can't get into the event group!

Print your tickets off from the WSR Nurburgring Website!!

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Can we pop in and see my dad??

[Mart]

Mate, that was the funniest thing of the whole weekend

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Yeh was one of my highlight's to.

[Bigfoot]

Its those birds in the background what does it for me

[Mart]

Yeah, what the feck is that all about?!

[Big Steve - Raider]

I am actually laughing to myself at the thought of that moment!

Don't worry shoppers, i'm sure he's going to pop over to Nurburg to see you that weekend!!

[AlexS]

Been talking to Mart about this for a while. Might be able to make it but waiting for my work diary to sort a few things out. Should know by the end of July.

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.

[AlexS]

Just noticed Shoppers Dad on the thread. If I remember rightly, that cheered up what was heading for a pretty lame night. Awesome.

Look out! You outing the CSaL?

[AlexS]

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.

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Alex, i know the hotel we are in does still have room's available....

Come and stay with us.

[AlexS]

Sorry guys, just realised I can't make this. One thing I wasn't looking at was my kart racing calender. I have a 6 hour EKC Endurance Championship race that weekend. Damn.

[Big Steve - Raider]

Yep, I'll be at ND mate.

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Yep, I'll be at ND mate.

[Big Steve - Raider]

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!

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

[Mart]

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

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.

[Logg]

I will be dropping out too sorry people!

Hope all that do go have an ace time and all come back safely!

[Bigfoot]

Is anyone still going

[Mart]

I am for sure, and I know Big Steve & Sarah still are as well.

[Bruce - BHPerformance]

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.

[Duncan Grier]

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

[Mart]

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.

Details on that to follow in a couple of weeks time...

[Big Steve - Raider]

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????????? 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...

Great days mate, but there'll be more of the same, that I am sure of...
