Nurburgring 2

[lee_iceman]

Just thought i'd post this up again for those who didn't go last time.

Thing's you will need to take with you by LAW

New for this year is High Vis Vests and you MUST have 1 for every person in the car (thank's Belgium)

GB badge on your car, a numberplate with a GB logo is accepted.

Warning Triangle

First Aid Box

Fire Extinguisher

Spare Bulb Set as you will be fined if pulled over for a defective light and cannot do anything about it.

Bulb Deflectors (you will need them on as you must put your lights on if it is raining or the conditions are dark)

Documents that need to be in your car when you are driving

Passport

V5

Driving Liscense

Insurance Cert (some insurers still issue green cards so you will need to carry that if they still issue them)

Thing's That I Want You To Do

As Chris has said get a EHIC.

Get European Breakdown Cover for the Trip BUT not with the AA or RAC as they will not recover anywhere near the Ring.

Make sure your breaks & tyres are in very good condition and that your car is fit for the Ring.

When you call your insurance up in April you are going to Koblenz for Easter, tis where the Rhine and the Mosel meets don't you know

For those that tinker with their cars you'll all know what tool's you use the most so bring them just incase.

If you have a towrope bring it as you are more than likely to be around another member out on track so if you have a off you can have a quick hook up an off as you don't want to be paying for armco and a tow.

Drive safely and well within your limits, if you cannot see the next corner or track infront due to a crest it will more than likely turn out to be turning the way you wouldn't expect it so slow down. Last year we had nothing worse than a few knackered brakes and a clutch on it's way out so the same attititude again please peeps

Port to hotel driving and vice versa, don't speed peeps as the fines are huge so stay in convoy please. Also at the ring if you are going to the garage for fuel don't speed down the road as the police last year were hiding behind the parked cars with the laser gun.

Right well my two hotels and ferry are all booked up... going to Maarstricht before Koln for a few days... might give the ring a miss and spend the time in Koln, depends on whether I find my 4 lap ticket from last time or not :)

REMINDER !

check your insurance details for european cover

most comprehensive policies only give you third party insurance in europe

its normally a case of giving them a quick ring where they will increase cover to fully comprehensive for the duration, and dont normally charge !

Right, that's sorted. Bazza, you're sitting in my car round the track!!!

I have normal European cover. How many folks in April needed recovery from the ring?

If they ask just say Koblenz, mine just wanted to know what countries (France, Belgium and Germany).

I was looking at my tyres at the weekend, i'll check them again before we go just to make sure.

You can grab a passenger ride with me if ya want mate, just so you can see what its like. Then enjoy a few laps in your beast.
