O/T The ring 2005 in non F-Cars

Looking at the other thread there appears to be a view developing that the 2005 ring event should an F car only event. I personally felt that people should bring whatever car they like and make it an F-Chat gathering.

I fancy taking my RS6 for a blast around the ring and I know that SteveP (as I recall ) fancies taking his Audi as well.

I am sure that there are other F-Car owners who want to take their everyday cars for a blast as well as F-Chat members who don't actually own a Ferrari yet.

As I have not yet been to the ring we will need to enlist the help of someone who has in order to put together a plan and I wandered what the interest level would be in have a trip like this.

Would prefer to take my Aston than the 328 - much more comfortable. Tentative in.

Would consider taking the M3CSL.

 

anybody fancy taking a bike ?

 

Christ, it will take for ever to cycle round the ring.

 

People do it!

 

I heard stories of bikers being flung into the woods, and their bodies being found weeks later by sniffer dogs...

 

Christ that’s awful, who flung them in the woods?

 

I think I am too afraid to go there now after all of this, let alone drive the track, what the? it sounds like death mountain

 

What? Surely an urban myth?

 

NAH noony knows everything tony he is 15 years old now give the man a break

 

Read this before you choose to go. This is not to put you off but to allow you to weigh up the realities of it.

no, true story...

 

i would be intrested in going,,, my little ford could do with a good blowing out!
would be a nice chance to meet some new people aswell!

 

I have driven around the Nurburgring three times now and it is an amazing experience.

 

all cars are welcome, if fchat want a ferrari only gathering thats fine too, but the track will have lots of other cars on anyway, take it easy and the ring is fairly safe, its when you get over confident

 

i think you guys should be extra careful.

 

I'll wear my biggest pants.

 

All racing circuits are potentially dangerous and by their very nature hazardous. The Ring more so than any other. There are no marshals, no fire points, if there is an /incident they are made aware of it by a car passing the said and reporting it at the start / finish. Thats if you can get by the carnage. Work out the response times.
I love the Nurburgring and have been several times without personal incident but without exception there were major s on every visit including one . MOTOR SPORT IS DANGEROUS but we love it.

I think there is one serious accident per week at the ring. That biker story is probably true.

Cant wait to do it though.

 

There is a group of around 15 of us doing a 4-day mini-Hoon across to Germany in April. That will include the Ring. We'll have Ferrari, TVR, Porsche and Astons amongst the crowd. Really looking forward to it

 

Wouldn't mind taking my VXR220 for a blast there - last time I went round it was in my 124 Spider Abarth which was 'an experience'!!

 

+ I am off to the Mille Miglia in May (15th) so hope to go by the Ring then - more the merrier!

 

i have made arrangements and will be there easter weekend, anyone else thats going and wants to meet up contact me, there are some quick lads going and can possibly get you some passenger rides
