Fri 10th – Mon 13th Sept 2010Rude Racing is delighted to announce the launch of our first RUDE weekend! This will be a road trip to remember Destination – the magnificent Nurburgring Objective - the ultimate petrolhead’s weekend The Nurburgring is located in the Eifel mountains in the western side of Germany, it is approx 14 miles long with 140 bends and a typical lap by a visitor takes about 10 -11 mins. We will take the early ferry on friday, grab some breakfast on board then make the road trip to the ring, where you will have the chance to drive the famous circuit, do some sight seeing, have a party or two, eat, drink and generally have an awesome weekend! You can come in any road legal car and you do not have to drive the circuit, though most people will I guess!
We will be at the ring by friday afternoon so that will give you the afternoon, two full days and three evenings to make the most of the weekend. Apart from the ring itself, the surrounding area is fab too with historic little towns, great scenery, excellent driving roads with little traffic and good, affordable food in pubs and restaurants.
Trip detailsThis trip is NOT an all inclusive package deal and not for profit! It is being organised in association with PerformanceTorque.co.uk as a private group event for the benefit and enjoyment of our customers, members and friends. We are providing some information which will allow you to book and join us, but no payments will be collected by Rude Racing, PT will collect a deposit for the B&B booking only. Outward ferry crossing Dover to Dunkirk (France) Return ferry crossing Dunkirk to Dover The ferry can be booked here… http://www.norfolkline.com/ferry/ Current fare is £36 return per car + 2 person including taxes. The fare is likely to increase nearer the departure date. Please contact them directly to book and pay. Accommodation
As you can see this superb B&B apartment is located right by the track and at the “secret enterance” which means we get on to the track much easier than through the main enterance! The cost is 45 euros per night (about £40) per person including breakfast. The apartment can accommodate up to 15 people.
We have WiFi, free parking, gardens, a BBQ area, a balcony overlooking the track and a traditional German bar Outward journey As we are departing on the 6am ferry from Dover, some of you may want to stay over at a local hotel the night before, this one is convenient. Please contact them directly to book and pay. Premier Travel Inn We will group up in Dover before boarding the ferry (details to follow). Once in France we will leave together and head for Adenau. The route is about 300 miles and will take us roughly 4hrs 30 min. A map of the route and our destination address will be issued in case we get lost or separated. Please bring your mobiles, fully charged so we can stay connected, Walkie Talkies would be good if you have them. If you are planning to use Sat Nav – you should check if you need the detailed European map as the the normal UK and Ireland map only has the MAIN roads within europe. Schedule (Friday afternoon, Saturday & Sunday) We are planning to spend the evenings in Adenau as there are plenty of places to eat, drink and be merry, however you are free to venture wherever you please. The ring is open to the public friday afternoon and all day saturday, so you can decide at the time exactly what you want to do during the days. A lap at the Ring costs about £20 and you will have to attend a briefing before they will let you loose on track. You do not have to stay with the group, so you can go explore by yourself, though it will probably be more fun to stick together. There is pleanty to do and see including a visit to the famous “Devils Bar” below.
We are pleased to announce that you and your ride will be captured on film by our professional photographer Tony Dewhurst of Pistonspy, check out the website. The photos will be available to view and purchase and customers will also get a free screensaver made up with loads of our pics:D Return journey We’ll be departing Adenau at roughly 6.45am heading back to Dunkirk (to be confirmed). We’ll stop off for some coffee along the way and aim to arrive at the ferry port about 12.30pm (local time). We can say our goodbyes on the ferry and then hit our routes home. Tips
Preparation Before you LEAVE the UK make sure you follow this check list:-
For more information about visiting the Ring see http://www.hotel-an-der-nordschleife.de/hotel/visit.php Vehicle recovery on the Ring Most of the UK breakdown services WILL NOT tow your car from the track!! If you breakdown or crash on the Ring, there is a €175 recovery fee to get you off the track. Do not be tempted to try to avoid this by driving off after a crash, that will then get you arrested and could easily cost you thousands if someone crashes on your spilled fluids. But you can avoid it legitimately by joining ADAC and then asking for an ADAC recovery truck. There are two main classes of membership: Classic and Plus:- ADAC Classic is enough to get you recovered off the Ring to a local garage, and costs €44. This is one year’s insurance cover against recovery fees, plus the reassurance of mechanical assistance if you have a problem locally. ADAC Plus includes European cover, so you can use this as a complete substitute for joining a UK breakdown organisation. This costs €78, so is cheaper than most UK deals and it includes repatriating your car to the UK if required. Joining is slightly fiddly though without a German bank account, as the default payment method is direct debit. However, it can be done! What you do is print out the relevant application form (see below), complete it by hand, add your credit card details (there isn’t a space for this, but you can add them anyway) and fax the completed form to 0049 1805 302928 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 0049 1805 302928 end_of_the_skype_highlighting. Note that you may get charged an extra €4 because you are not paying from a German bank account. To find the form please do a seach on the ADAC website http://www.adac.de/Default.asp?TL=2 Summary If you have ever wanted to visit the Ring…then this is your opportunity! To join us, you will need to book the ferry crossings and the Dover overnight stay if you want to and let us know. You will be responsible for preparing yourself and your car, all transport, enterance at the Ring, your food and drink etc. To book your accommodation for the three nights at the B&B apartment, you need to pay a deposit of (£31), this needs to be paid asap to secure your place. You will settle the balance when you leave the apartment. To book please contact Iggy on 0844 357 8651 (mon – fri 9am-5pm) or email iggy@ruderacing.co.uk . Numbers are limited to 15 persons so book now to avoid disappointment. If the apartment is fully booked, we can point you to other accommodation nearby. The ferry and the accomodation needs to be booked now, everything else can be done slowly. All accomodation is now FULL, we have 25 in the group instead of the original 15 planned! If you still want to join us we can point you to other accomodation in the area. Well that’s most of it covered for now, more details will be released nearer the time. If you have any questions please contact Iggy as above. Booked so far:- Iggy / Friend Mazda MX5 (2) |
