Nurburgring tackday - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

whitey · 12th June 2008, 12:42 PM

Just wondering what proportion of people will be going to each track day. Good opportunity for people to meet up and chat to add to the whole buying experience

I shall be attending the 15th September in Germany - good excuse for a road trip and good excuse to stretch the legs on my SL55. Anyone else coming?

GT-Racer · 12th June 2008, 02:12 PM

15th September (am) also. I'll be partying in Frankfurt or Cologne (any advice?) the weekend before.

Well I have to work the Saturday and I know the track is open to the public on the Sunday but not sure about the Tuesday - if it is then I'll do the Monday and Tuesday, if not drive through the night on Sunday

5th am

All booked in now at last and measurements given - v.exciting!!!

I have to work on the Saturday so will probably drive over first thing on Sunday morning to get the leftovers of the open day and then again for Monday evenings session to try and carry over some of anything learnt in the am session.

Will probably stay in the Dorint Hotel - its superb. What is everyone else doing?

GT-Racer · 12th June 2008, 04:52 PM

Where is Dorint Hotel?

MuXBoX · 12th June 2008, 06:23 PM

Me and my bro will be going to nurburg day. Not booked yet as bro is on holiday but will know on Tuesday what day.

I was gonna take my own helmet until nissan told me that you get to keep the GT-R helmet that they will provide.

I put my name down for 15th

But I had presumed that Nissan would be organising on some hospitality; otherwise looks like I'll have found a use for our concierge service

Its the main large hotel that overlooks the main circuit (not the Nordeschleif (sp?) which I believe is where the drive will be. Get a circuit view room so you will be able to watch the cars pass.

The bar there is something special too - bring a pen

GT-Racer · 12th June 2008, 10:24 PM

Bring a pen!? For phone numbers!!?

Afraid not!

You'll have to just trust me I'm afraid - wonder if there is any space left though?????

Sorry I'm talking in riddles - you'll just have to trust me and everyone else who has been lucky enough to have visited Josef and the white glove!

I was talking to Chris at Middlehursts yesterday and he said that only one person per car could attend the Silverstone and Nurburgring track days, even if the other would be only a spectator. I asked him how you could drive all the way to Nurburgring without a relief driver and he said that they would fly you! It sounds a bit unlikely as the nearest airport is about 80km away I think.

The Goodwood event is different and you are allowed two tickets. Given the traffic problems on the Sunday I would appreciate it if anyone has ideas about where to stay over on the Saturday night?

I'm booked for the 15th September (AM), would like to know if anyone else had heard about the 'no guests' thing as the the other half and I were going to make a long weekend of it!

GT-Racer · 13th June 2008, 02:46 PM

Hahn airport is about 40hm away I think.
