LMES The ring who's going?

[keithk]

So who's going to the LMES at Nurburgring? All booked only need to pack and I'm ready

[hgb]

I'll be there, of course. 

Spa, Le Mans, Monza, Silverstone and Nürburgring

[SmithA]

Hmmmm got me thinking about this one

Any ideas how long is the drive is to get there?

[Paddy_NL]

Drinking for Holland will be there with a fair amount of people. At least 10 by the looks of it.
Don't know if we're gonna stay at the camping site, but here's the link anyway>> http://www.camping-am-nuerburgring.de/index.html

From Calais about six or seven hours its Spa plus another couple of hours its an OK drive just take your time...

[rcutler]

Would be interested but have to car share and keep costs right down.

More motorsport this year

Looks like a hectic 3 days.

That will be 2.5 days for you then Smokie! 

I will be in Sicily sunning myself again so wont be able to join in the fun.

[Nobby Diesel]

I will be in Bratislava, ruining myself again !

Are you sure? I've done Frankfurt (a further 100 miles I think) in a fairly consistent 4.5 hours on a Sunday, bit longer coming back during a weekday. Frankfurt was 386 miles from Calais IIRC.

Mappy says it's 295 miles, 4h 35m. http://tinyurl.com/adku9

Some of that is de-restricted of course

Calais - Nurburgring -  roughly 450 km
Calais - Le mans - roughly 500 km

That's using max motorway, which is virtually all the way in each case. So the ring is 4hr 30min at the most. 
Hardly my favourite circuit, though.

[Lorry]

This looks difficult, as most of the rest of the team seem to be away, but has to be worth a try, especially as I missed Silverstone.  

How many hours is it from Calais?
