Also, anyone know how much it costs per day/weekend to rent a 'decent' car that would be fun on the Nurburgring?
I'm not old enough to rent a Boxster or a 996 but I have heard of people renting Audi TTs. I would even be satisfied with a VW GTI or another fast Audi of some sort.
I would be coming from Berlin.

I'll have to check the details with my 911-copilot but I'm quite sure we'll try to make it to the 'ring... either 24th or then 25th.
Any good web sites or other info I could read up before going?

Also, our webmaster, John D, has been there... he may know of some hidden treasures... like the Porsche Goodie Store:

So does anyone have a number for factory reservations? I have been looking around but can't seem to find it. Looks like I have to drive to Stuttgart next week to drop off our backup server to be fixed. I think I will swing by the Museum while I am there. Another rough day on the job..

Bump!

Got our route plan sorted out yesterday. Our boat arrives in Travemünde around 8 am tuesday 24th of june, and from there me & my copilot will blast straight towards Adenau... hopefully covering that ~600 or so kms fast enough to still make it to the track (which appears to be open betwen 17:15 - 19:30 that day).
We'll be spending the night somewhere near (I'm trying to get a reservation from hotel An Der Nordschleife), and then back to 'ring for wednesday 25th. If I'm reading the graph correct then the track will be open between 15:15-19:30 so plenty of time to meet you guys and also do a few (nice and easy, for me at least - first time there!) laps. <img border="0" alt="[burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
So: Michael, schlag, see you on 25th of june? Anybody else happen to be there around that time?
