Where?

N 48° 56.775' E 007° 34.090' (Old fashioned grid ref: UV36470/88779)

Directions from Calais?

A16 (E40) Dunkerque/lille
A10 (E40) Brussells
E40 Aachen
E40 Exit 38
(Some EvoT'ers go a different route, but this way is easiest for me to type

)

How long does it take to get there?

4 hours at 100mph, 5 1/2 hours with a few fill-ups and snack stops, colon clearances, 3 1/2 hours if youre following the Doc, Raj and Peppernick

Where to stay?

The Tiergarten

The Tiergarten hotel is an excellent hotel for the first-timers. Located about 1km from the Nordschleife entrance, the Tiergarten is the most convenient of the major hotels in the area. It's clean and reasonably priced.

Tiergarten's website

Hotel An Der Nordschliefe.

Just inside the bridge at Breidscheid. Slightly less expensive than Tiergarten. You can see this building in the background of most current racing games...it's the large tan building on the right as you approach the bridge.

An der Nordschliefe's website

Hotel Goldener-Anker

The most expensive of the three and a regular place for the EvoT ballers. Modern rooms, bowling alley, restaurant buffet and a bar open till very late with your host Rappin' Rodney.

What are the main things I need to take with me?

You
Your Car
passport
money
credit card
driving license

Do I need to get extra insurance for the ring?

Its up to you, but £250 a day 'track' cover is gonna cost you especially with excesses of 5k with maximum payouts of around 20k

. Most of us remain uninsured, which makes you drive a little more accordingly

What else should I consider before travelling.

A "Green card". Your insurers will provide this, it gives you fully comp cover whilst in Europe. Without a green card you are 3rd party out of the UK. Direct Line charged me about £12 for mine.

European Breakdown cover. I've just paid £23 for this weekends cover

Holiday insurance. About £21, Even if you are not bothered with taking out holiday insurance. Do it for your parents/family. In case you die, your parants won't have to fork out the 7k in return carriage costs

"GB" Number plates or if not you will need a GB sticker for the back of your car.

E111 card. A free card issued by the NHS, gets u reduced medical fees, say if you get toothache and need to get the fekker ripped out.

Warning triangle
First aid kit
Hi Viz vest (Now compulsory for France)

How much is this whole thing gonna cost me then?

Say about £130 for the tunnel (Cheaper for the ferry)
£50 to £70 a night for accomodation
And about 4 to 5 tanks of fuel in total depending on rapeage

If you share a room with someone then it saves some cash!

How much do laps cost?

Single lap €21 £14.56
4-lap ticket €70 £49
8-lap ticket €135 £93
15-lap ticket €235 £163
25-lap ticket €370 £257

What do I do when I get there?

Park your car up, have a walk round the car park, take a dump then go for a passenger lap with someone who has been before, try again with someone else. Don't feel cheeky asking for a lap, we LOVE giving laps, especially me because even though you think I know the course, I actually haven't a clue, LOL. Then buy yourself a ticket, maybe 4 laps to start then enjoy yourself

Are there any rules I have to abide to on the track?

Move over safely to the right if someone is coming up fast behind you. Indicate right to tell them they can pass.

When you see a yellow flag, slow down. If you don't see a crash, it could be a huge fcuk off oil spill. nasty stuff

Save the office number into your mobile +49-2691-302215. You may need it if you crash and need help or a marshall to warn others of an obstruction.

Is there tea/coffee/food at the ring?

Yep, not the cheapest but a good variety of stuff, plus you can buy me a coffee for me spending an hour putting this together.

I've tried to cover the basics guys, anything i've missed?
