My Nurburgring trackday trip report

Because he lives oop North, and it's a shorter drive from Rotterdam to the Ring than from Calais. It's quite convenient really, overnight ferry from Hull so you arrive first thing in the morning the following day after a good night's sleep without too much driving.

Got it. Will look that option up

Route is Hull>Rotterdam I believe

We did that route this year. Much, much better than going to Dover (from S-O-T)

I'm sure you've seen it, but cracking picture from Jochen here. @NigeP

Awesome photo isn`t it ! I`d spoken to Jochen before the event about trying to get that photo.

I saw the rear end version of that shot going around Facebook last night.

I`ll put that in my trip report for Ringmeisters that I`m currently writing up.

Great shot!

Sorry for the bump. Just wanted to know why you opted to go by boat instead of the Euro Tunnel?

Exactly as said above. I live 1hr 20 away from Hull, it`s far easier to drive to Hull, get on the ferry, have a meal and a beer and go to bed, then wake up in Rotterdam. Then its a shorter drive to the Ring. Ferry costs more but I spend much less time driving.

Thank you. It is always great to hear from people about these write up, even if they are to offer suggestions on how I can improve them.

Hopefully his video from the Golf should be online this weekend.

Will keep an eye out for it. I've booked their M3 ring taxi for next week. I want the other half to experience the track at pace lol
