Nurburgring 2016

[Magenta Sunset]

Last year myself and 4 others made a 2200 mile round trip of it over 11 days. We went through 7 different countries and a LOT of mountain passes, including a three day stay near the ring with a few laps for good measure. We took a tuned hdi, a gti6 and a z3 2.8 and drove them pretty hard all the way round. Total cost per person? £450. That's every last penny accounted for, breathalysers,insurance, beer, camping, laps, the lot.

Use your brain a bit and it can be done cheaply: Ferry tickets are cheaper mid-week at unpopular times of day. If there's more than one person in a car you can save on a night's camping by splitting the driving overnight. Cater in a group and cook dinner at the campsite rather than going out. Take a big tent because it's cheaper to have one large pitch than 3 small ones. Keep an eye on fuel station prices and fill up when it's cheap, not just when you need to. You get the idea.

I have a large (I mean 3 double 'rooms') [Hi-Gear Sahara 6] I was planning to sell off on Ebay (2nd attempt) if any one wants it.
