OK

We can book the Kart track on the Monday at anytime between 11am and 6pm. The cost is 635 Euros for 1hr which is 10 karts + helmets & overalls.

Before I go any further with this are people interested ?

If you buy a Nurburgring Card (only 10EU) you can save money on the 'ring laps and also on the karting :

Details HERE (in German but I guess you can Google translate it

Not sure the card will help if we hire the circuit as it gives you a discount on a 10 min session.

We currently have

Jeffw
DougS2
Viperbl
Dace
Dan (Jeff's mate)
Paul (Jeff's mate) +2 possibles

Which makes 6 with 2 maybes.

Anyone else want to do it ?

I'd like to do karting too... and my 3 passengers also want in. I don't know if we can do a bigger session, or whether we should do two if there are a couple more interested.

Simple - 10 teams and an endurance race

Jeff will negotiate 2 hours for the price of 1 and everyone will be happy

It was empty when we went for a look on the Monday of the April trip.

What would we rather do?
GP type races (heats, Semi-Finals & Final)
or Endurance Race over 2 Hrs or so

Cost for 2 hours will be 1270 Euros or £57 each with 15 drivers....Probable wouldn't want 10 karts out at the same time so Endurance race could be teams of 3.

If we assume that we get another 6 drivers we could have 7 teams at a cost of £ 41 each.

Thoughts ?

I'd rather do a team race Jeff. £ 57 for 2 hours racing is cheap (I guess it would be 1.5 hours by the time we've practiced).

Can you use your negotiating skills on them please? If we could book it for 3 hours and guarantee them (say) 1500 euros, perhaps between as many as 20 drivers, its not bad business for them?

I'll get the guy I sit next to at work (who is German !!!!!) to ring them and we'll find out what we can do.
