NightSpirit Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 playing a game doesn't do jack shit when you're there..with the camber and hills/troughs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 yeah is mainly flat on the game, but isaw the steep slope in your pictures and i dont recall that being in it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yea its hard enough remembering what corner is what on Gran Turismo let alone in reali life Damn I want to play GT4 now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adam starlet87 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 yeah knowing the track is the way forward. i would not like to comment on what cars were humiliating me cause i would be so embarresed lol. but it was obvious they were locals or had done many laps lol. gran turismo is nothing like the real thing. that entrance u can see in the photo i bet u couldnt ride a bike up it its that steep lol. should organise a uksc ring trip!!

Galliano Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 still got bruises on your ass then... worse than any pai.can we go in say... 4 years time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 the car was very comfy infact, I'm thinking more if I stack it at the track I can bring it back without a problem...means I can push it harder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 agree with you mark, if i'm going there with a motor capable of lapping in reasonably quick times, i'm going to want to be able to bring it home if i do stack it, even if it is in a few pieces Would defo wanna trailor mine over there if i did take a car, failing that it'd be for a more casual drive, just for the experience, rather than flat out quick lap times.Fun either way, pics look great mate.

NightSpirit Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Ok well, my spends were because I'm a slut, buying clothes, a euro satnav (tom tom 930), new tyres, wheel bearing...all fitted by audi (not cheap)In actuality, I'd say around:100 for accomodation for 2-3 nights (each)120 for ferry return (ish)75 AA cover25 travel insurance80 on food100 on track time150 on fuelall rough estimates, if you're serious I'll do a proper trip plan, we're already thinking of running a ring munchers annual trip to the ring.so without the extras (travel ins and aa, which are a must imo) 550 to 600 is all you'd need. That'd be a weekend trip to the ring with accomodation in adenau travelling from harwich via ferry to hook van holland (shortest route to germany and most central in the UK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nathy boy Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I would be extremly interested if this was planned, do you have to be 21 to drive abroad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 also a question i wanna ask ^^...i really want to build a ring muncher now, so my first step is finding a dead paseo... and then getting an engine.. OH yeh, clearing out the garage too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Not sure on the 21 rule? not something I've heard mentioned....Obviously a full valid licence would be needed As I said, I'm happy to arrange this for August or so next year if enough of us are interested.
