Gents,

A bit early but does anyone know if dates have been printed for 2006?

and is the easter weekend (14-17 apr this year) always a standard public open weekend?

any info appreciated.

Curious. The offical Nuerburgring web site shows opening dates for this month (it was due to be open today but ther's snow on the ground ) but nothing for later in the year. The Easter weekend is a given anyway.The dates normally go online at the end of Jan.
Check out the new webcam for the entry point on to the track.

Aiming to go over at easter - some b***T**s stole the trailer - have them on video with petrol driven road cutters to get the security locking devices off and when they drove off they damaged another car.......

so i might have to drive it there  but the insurers say they will make an offer shortly??? but given my experiences in the past i am not holding my breath

Cannot wait though as Alpha N, Sports Filter and Innovate now fitted - difference is astounding - still needs fine tuning though

Uwe

Back in September the queues to get off the track were around 1/2 mile long and 2 cars abreast!

Kevin can confirm that as well.

As I was there as well I can only say this is true. Apart from that however, I think it is also getting seriously dangerous on weekends and many accidents happen nowadays. I would love to join up with my M3, but I would prefer on weekdays, say Thursday or Friday instead of weekend. Kevin told me this was also done this last meeting in 2005.

John

PS. Maybe we can keep everyone informed by updating this topic.
