Dragonball 2016 - Luxembourg Break for the Border 12th to 15th May 2016

How many are heading over to the ring? Any recommendations for single day insurance for this and how much to expect it to cost

How many are heading over to the ring? Any recommendations for single day insurance for this and how much to expect it to cost

Apparently there is a race on

Yeah we're just spectating I thought?

EDIT: The site says it's open for an hour 6-7pm.

Ah yeah I could see that for the track but couldn't find info on the nordshleife part

I'll be going up to the ring, no intention to go round, but really want to see it.

If we have enough people going, maybe.... We could book a slot for the karting? Appreciate we are driving a lot already but I'd be up for that. Seemed reasonable pricing

The ring will be mad busy if its only open for an hour and there is an event on at the GP circuit. Personally I would not bother as it will be closed more than its open due to all the idiots.

The Saturday is a rest day, so anyone can do anything. Use the hotel pool and facilities, go into the city for sightseeing, or the option on the Dragonball itinerary to drive over to the ring. The ring is closed that day, so it's just to look around and drive the roads that lead to the ring. Also the time on the itinerary is just a guide, as some of us maybe a little hungover still by then :/

Is pig going??? Thats the only reason anyone would still have a hangover

No he's not But you obviously haven't been out drinking with me lol I'm not expecting Branners to be up before 12pm after the night out we are having, after all it's his rest day too and he shouldn't have to look after you lot

If he can get up at all on Sat you're doing it wrong Burna!

Me and my brother will drive down, but youcant get insurance unless its a trackday and its NOT for that hour.

we wont go round as we have a trackday booked there is September then down to spa for another trackday.

thanks I realized after I posted it was a go for a look only day out. but still up for tagging along.

If any of you chaps see a totally and utterly rust free and mint 2 door Volvo 240, or a mint 740 or 940 (got to be LHD) for sale on your travels I want to buy one TOTALLY rust free underneath and everywhere else is the set in stone criteria, the interior can look like a family of hyenas has been living in it.... Have fun over there.

Ok Chris, on the lookout for volvos..

As you can see on Friday after the afternoon tea stop, there's an optional winery tour that I and Luc have arranged, anyone is welcome to join us, but if it's not your thing then you just skip to route 6 and I've done you a nice driving route back to hotel

Also Saturday is a rest day, you can do whatever you want, nothing has been organised for you, as it'll also be nice to give Branners the day off and let him do whatever he want's (Probably in an all day lappy bar with me ). So you'll have to fend for yourselves Saturday, you're all big boys and girls so I'm sure you'll cope I've only put a route in for the ring just keep continuity with the route list. It's just a direct route to the ring.

So has fancy dress been confirmed? All taking part?

Few small jobs to tick off the list and I'll be good to go!

Me and Kar not missed one yet . I know of 4 others
