Ring Trip

Lance · 08-11-2006, 15:26

The temptation is too much, therefore it is highly likely that I will, for the 5th time this year, be visiting the Ring for the weekend of 25/26th Nov. The track is open all day Sat and Sun........anyone fancy it?

As well as good track time it'll be a good end of season pi55 up.

Lance

So far - 350Z, Oct Vrs, BMW 540 & Astra of some description (it's a 2 ltr turbo).

I would of loved to buddy but it to go on have my mates stag night otherwise i would have been well up for it.

I have 11 laps left on a ticket from my last trip, do you want it as i'd hate to see them go to waste.

PM me your address and i'll send it to you.

TaviaRS · 08-11-2006, 17:30

You'll be bloody luck to get track time - I went a couple of years back and, although it was supposed to be open, was shut due to snow.

Hope it works out for ya though.

Enjoy Lance. One day......

Lance, like Alex I have a couple of laps on my ticker from the last trip which I won't get to use before the end of the year. PM me your address and I'll send my ticket as well.

No doubt Alex is looking forward to getting that Clio on the 'Ring!

Lance · 09-11-2006, 12:19

Yeah the snow is a worry, I got caught out in May a few years back. Nice on Friday, went to bed and woke up to about 4 inches of snow on Saturday...........and I was on the bike!!!

Offers of Ring tickets from people I barely know..............the spirit of this site takes some beating.............many many thanks gents.

All back safe and sound, even with the BMW spinning at Wipperman and just brushing the armco, with virtually no damage.

No snow, but Saturday was wet and slippery to say the least. Track time was excellent, with no more than 20/30 cars in the car park all day. Sunday was better and almost dry all round and no more than 60 cars in the car park.....again the track time was top quality.

Alex/Sean, many thanks for the laps........all were good. That is it now until 2007.

By the way, who was in the red vrs fabia?

Lance

vRSLen · 27-11-2006, 20:01

Glad to see you back Lance.

WrightyRS · 27-11-2006, 21:06

Glad you had a great time buddy,

Wipperman,i know that corner and armco very well!!!!! LOL

I can't wait until next year,i'll be going in April i think,what about you?
Have to have a proper talk about it once the dates are released in the new year.

Lance · 27-11-2006, 22:23

Alex

I have this terrible (or is it good) habit of agreeing to all Ring trips.........April sounds good.

Roll on Feb (ish) when the dates are released.

Lance

Check out this link buddy,

Preliminary opening times from now till October 2007 can be found here

Fancy going in January?

I want to go when its snowing as you can hire Quad bikes from Zakspeed and drive around the circuit for 100 Euros!!!

Lance · 05-12-2006, 17:19

Hi Alex, you may have seen in another thread that I've just spent in excess of £4k on an operation on my dogs eyes...........therefore financially an early Ring trip is out of the question for me.

Mind you I notice it's open on Christmas day and I find Christmas boring.......not sure if the Mrs will put up with me disappearing on Xmas day though!!

April ish for me I afraid.

Notice on Ben Lovejoy's site that laps for next year are up to 19euros.

Cheers
Lance

vRSLen · 05-12-2006, 20:47

Spent over 4K on a dog? You could have bought a new one for that

Lance · 05-12-2006, 22:03

I should have took him to Specsavers
