Just a 'toe in the water' post...
Who's up for a trip to the 'Ring next year, say late March/early April?
Early days yet, I know. In fact I don't even know if I can make it - just curious as to the interest next year.

And keep and eye on Our 964s to Nurburgring SmartGroup where there are 35 interested folks. Not much posting action there at the moment till we see the 2004 calendar.

P.S. You've got to do this, somehow, someday.

Hi JB and JM. Yes, I'm itching to go, but myself and a driving buddy have professional exams in April/May - so spring's out - I will probably try and go early summer...
BTW Missed the last knockhill trackday last weekend, because of paternity duties - there was a white/blue GT3RS there too apparently, Dammit! Anyone WTB a 2 month old baby girl?

Hey Johnny G,
Why not come along to the Porsche Club meeting on Thursday at Cramond Brig Hotel. I'll be going, you are welcome to follow me. Someone took a video of the GT3 RS and is supposed to be bringing it along on a laptop to let us all have a look.

There's a good chance I'll be there, whatever date is chosen
Which car I'll be driving depends on the actual date. If I can only squeeze in a one-day trip, I'll probably be in stripped Mk.2 Golf GTi with rollcage. If it's a 2 or 3-day visit, I'll probably take the 964.
Some general remarks regarding timing:
Keep in mind that the Easter weekends of the last few years have been been so busy that it's not funny anymore. Quite a few regulars are planning to stay away next Easter, or make sure they're there on the Thursday before or the Monday following the weekend.
As far as weather is concerned, I don't think it matters much if you aim for late March, April or May. The weather in the Eifel is so unpredictable that I stopped paying serious attention to the weather forecast. Snow in April wouldn't be the first time. Warm sunny weather in March: ditto.
Even setting a date in the summer won't increase the odds for getting a track in decent condition very much. Only a few drops of rain are needed to make you feel like you're driving on ice
Opening times for the new year are generally posted sometime in January.
Cheers,
JW

Well I guess that is me excluded then (unless the test is taken at 4000rpm at 2.3 miles distance). Anyone need a passenger?
