Hotels Recommendations - The 'Ring

Joolz_vRS · 07-05-2007, 21:49

I'm heading over to Germany in late May for a wedding. Think I've got a good excuse to call in at the 'Ring on the way home.......

Whilst I been there a few times, I've not ever needed accommodation nearby - until this time! Any recommendations?

Try Edgar Steffens at Gasthouse Muhlenharte.

He speaks great English and does everything to make you feel welcome! Place has a nice dining room, TV room and great views (situated within the circumference of the ring in a village called Herschbroichm about a miles wander from karrusell) and the rooms are clean and well tendered. There is garage space for tools if need be and its very, very affordable!

Hi

hotel Sonnehof IMO is easily the nicest around the 'Ring'.

Sonnenhof Nürburgring, Business, Wellness, Gastronomy - Hotel Sonnenhof 4 Stars Nürburgring (De)

I've been going to the Ring since 1993 and tried many different local hotels and this one is the best IMO.

Good Luck
Lance

Anyone going to the 'Ring this weekend? I'm aiming to be there Sun PM & maybe Mon AM. Will only do a couple of laps but will keep an eye out for any fellow Briskodians!

Lance is not a happy bunny!! For the 3rd time this year I've had to postpone a Ring trip for things out of my control. Now planning to go over the weekend of 16/17 June.

You guys have a great time and be safe.

Sorry you can't make it. Travelled down to Nr Frankfurt this morning and the weather is starting to close in - was 'Chucking' it down in Belgium

. Will see what it's like on Sunday. Lance - keep an eye out for a silver 53 plate Furby vRS, Xenons, and just so it stands out of the crowd, a 'Ring sticker on the tailgate....... If it's peeing it down too much I may just spectate

Ric,

Turned up late on Sunday and saw you on a hot lap

. There were some very quick cars - including a Brit registered Carrera GT being driven 'Properly'. Jethro Bovingdon in the Evo Mag M3 seemed to be having a blast too. Time was short and track was so busy I didn't venture out this time

- Have now just arrived home after a 1300 mile round trip. Will probably be back over again in the late Summer.

i think that was my "hot lap" i had set myself the target of going under 10 minutes , didn't think it would be possible with the poor weather , but did a 9 minute 48 second lap so was very

, my round trip was 1704 miles , but i was at Spa F1 circuit on the Tuesday , 50 laps

Lance · 31-05-2007, 22:17

Ric

The bloke a few doors from me was at Spa, in a highly modded blue EVO. He was showing me some video footage that he took and Spa looked a superb track........now on my list of things to do. He was also at the Ring on the Sat & Sun.

Gald you has a good time.

I'm going over 22nd-25th June, ferry & hotel booked....am definitely going this time!!!!!

Spa was superb , its got some cracking corners , plenty of grip aswell , even in the wet , i'd deffo go there again

*CJ* · 06-06-2007, 18:22

Do Spa run public days or do you need to book a session with a 3rd party organiser? If so who? I'm putting together a trip to the ring but it seems as though Spa is better for getting serious numbers of laps? So will look into doing it on the way down / back. What would you advise?

ric04vrs · 06-06-2007, 22:31

take a look on here , this is the company i used when i was at Spa last Tuesday , the Mitsubishi Lancer register organised it though

Spa Race Track and Circuit Information for Car and Bike Track Days

i was lucky though , as not only was i at the Ring on a trip organised for me , but the Spa track day was on as well so was an ideal stop off on the way back , also lucky in the respect that it was very cheap , £180

Spa is about 70 miles away from the Ring , 200 miles from Dunkeque ferry port

you will get lots of laps in , i did over 50 , but the weather can/will be dodgy , it was wet all morning last week , drying out in the afternoon to a full dry circuit by about 4pm

I can't offer any advice on Spa as I know nothing about it other than where it is.

However I have done in the region of 25-30 trips/weekends to the Ring over the years and can advise that for quality 'Ring' time, it's best to include some midweek dates, or go early/late in the season.

I've been late March, mid Oct and late Nov, and virtually had the track to myself. In fact I have done a few laps during these dates and not seen another car/bike at all on the track. The problem with this is of course the unpredictable weather, however this does seem to be a gamble anytime in the Eifel region.
