April 2013 - Nürburgring?

[c.gerrard]

So I've just started to go through the logistics of the whole trip, which if I'm honest i haven't done yet.

So, if we arrive in Dunkirk Friday morning and then we spend all day getting to the Nurburgring. We then spend all Saturday at the track and to make sure there's enough time for the rest of the trip, I think we will only be able to spend half of Sunday there and aim for somewhere in the Stuttgart region to stop for the night.

That will then leave us with 30 hours driving between Mon 8th - Sat 13th. Which will mean taking a return ferry on Sunday morning, as I don't think we will want to cut it that close. Even though that would mean an average of 5 hours driving a day, due to the time of year we are there, the road are conditions could be potentially snowy (plus the fact we are in the MOST reliable cars in the world....).

The dates if we were to go down that route would be 5th April - 14th April. Coming back on the 14th in the morning would add an extra £10 to the cost.
If anyone does not like the sound of that plan or has any further ideas, post away The only other option would be to spend longer at the Nurburgring and then cut sections of the road trip out.


On a separate personal note, my plus one dropped a bombshell the other day and said he might not be able to get the time off work. I'm still going to go, but if anyone on here fancies coming along, let me know! Just to give a rough idea of price, I reckon £200-£300.
