closed, only for the Fahrerlehrung school


What else can i say than:
There is not a picture or film that can justify this extreme track, it is
so beutiful winding up and down , with extreme elevations.
79 turns take a Looooong time to learn, but we still go pretty fast around, i will record with my lap timer tomorrow or wednsday.


There is also a big group here from USA, but i am on a different group so i dont get to meet them much.

Well just wanted to share, and tell people, you really has to come here, its fantastic.
Weather has been around 90 degrees and sunny.
Tires had a hard day , need new tires......


The car still has that electrical gremlin, so i now run on 7 again, it started after my first carusell.
God i hate errors that comes and goes away.


BTW, Beemer people is nice, for most parts

Whats it take to get a Vette over there? I would imagine its pretty expensive...

I was able to do one lap there on an open weekend with my 2005 Coupe when I took a trip with the C5/6 Registry in 2005. That got me hooked on road tracks. I've never been the same. Now I have my Z06 and keep making mods for a little more speed around those corners. I would love to return to the Ring with my Z. You are one fortunate guy to be able to have the track program you are in.

I drive down Matt :-)
I live in Norway, but a guess a container shipment would be around usd 4000 roundtrip.

But DO IT, Europe has a lot to offer

Be careful! It is better to drive at 90% of top speed and get home safely than to try and break the lap record and crash! The Nurburgring is not the place to push to the limit.

were you with the group that was there the weekend before Le Mans?

Get a video recorder, let us see some in car footage! What tires and brakes are you running?

MattB

Figured you could drive down Just was hoping someone on the forum would know what it takes to get over there.

Some more road racing experience and a few mods and I'd really like to take the Vette some day.

Anyone have any experience with any of these shippers?

$4000 sounds close for an open container shipment. I would imagine that it costs more for a secure closed container. Remember, you need to take in consideration how long it will take to get there on boat. 2 months is average for Germany. I have had cars ship to the UK and back and a one way trip is about $2000. (Military Paid for it) This of course isn't the way that most of us would ship our vettes. If you want a 100% safe and damage free way to ship it, then you'll pay more. Just to let you know, every car I sent in the $2000 price range had damages. You also have to go through a tough inspection to get the car back to the US and they will have to spray chemicals on the car, mainly the undercarriage. This is due to international soil and things like the Bird flew and mad cow to name a few. Honestly, it’s a pain, but would be well worth it if you don’t mind spending the money. I wonder if you could rent a car for much cheaper. Don’t know if that is possible in Germany (renting vettes).

The Military uses "American Auto Logistics" I'd find someone else though!

here is an idea for GM, put a fleet of Corvette close to the ring, rent them out, service and maintain them, maybe with driving instructions first :-)

Could you find a better PR ??????
