Going to the ring

[dennis1987]

Im off to the nurburgring at easter, first time there getting quite excited, any recomendations for pubs, bars etc. as its a stag weekend

[Sonic]

It will be absolutely rammed over easter.

Try to get to the Pistenklause for a steak, which is served on a hot stone, always novel.

PInnochios in adenau is a really well priced and good place to eat if you like italian, the atmosphere is good and the massive pizzas about about the size of a table. Huge!

As Andy said, it will be very crowded over Easter no doubt. Should be good though! Enjoy

Have fun, I'm proper jealous

Drive well; don't crash: simple.

yup, you;ll get nothing for a fastest lap, but you will get a bill for a messy one!

I can highly recommend the Italian in Adenau - the pizzas are great, but if you also lke the pasta, they do a great salmon dish in shells and sauce - loads of grub served in a fish shaped bowl - great host and atmosphere.

I've been three times now - we stay in the Blauecke Hotel - it's recently been extended a few years ago and has some good quality rooms and good breakfasts as well.

I'm itching to go back this year, but fear that wife will insist on I take the family in the Allroader - doesn't have the same appeal as going in the S2 though.

I previously have been with some vauxhall owners when I had a Zafira GSi 2.0 Turbo remapped to 250 bhp - I managed 9mins 48 secs with 3 passengers on board!!!! And this was a wet lap....

Have fun and take it easy for your first few laps. Remember you'be got to drive you're ride home - take the obvious spares and get the motor serviced before your leave. I'd recommend your rad pipes be closely inspected and changed your brake fluid, pads/discs etc.

Best of luck!!!

If you go to Pinocho you're legally required to eat one of the large pizzas. You can't leave until it's finished.

And have one of their 1L glasses of hefeweizen!
Btw, the pizzas are big! really big, like 20" or more..
What a way to finish the day!

Honestly, if your car drips anything, oil/water/PS fluid/brake fluid.....either sort it or don't take it out. you will be in for a massive bill if it lets go, not to mention a biker going down on it (police) and wont be thanked on a busy weekend (closed track for recovery).

Its a magical place, you'll be hooked like we all are

That's one the reasons i'm not heading over this easter - the track spends more time closed than it does open because of accidents (first time i'm not going in easter for 3 or 4 years i think).
