Anyone going to the ring easter 2006? I'm going over with a modified classic car crowd and was wondering if anyone else was doing the same?

 

think ill be there, gonna be checking that i can get time off work! will be my first time there!

 

Cool. If we could get a few more people going. Don't suppose you know any uk clubs as they all seem pretty inactive or FD only going over?

 

I suspect Max, Phil & co will be over from www.fduk.org the other large UK club/forum is www.mazdarotaryclub.com

 

Indeed we will, probably three or four FD's.

Be warned - it's very busy these days. Hope you enjoy queues!!

Last trip out, there was a guy with an FC from the UK. Not seen any 1st gens in the car park yet.

 

I was there last month driving my 626 on the track. I have bought another FD to take to the ring easter 2006. Just have to make some BPU mods to it this winter.

I dont dare taking my 500+Hp LHD FD down there. Better to crash a RHD, those are easy to find.

 

I might make it there. Its only a 2hr drive from Ramstein

 

hmm.. 2 hour. Its 1150km with bridge and one boat from here. Better take the trolley. Hmm... how many hours with 80km/h? TO Many! Can anyone move the ring?

 

perhapes im also there,but its ~700 km from me and i have no trolley and the gas is too expensive here.

 

180k/m all the way on the autobahn. still got the japanese speed limiter.

 

many many miles for us, but im gonna tow my fd on a trailer

 

Well i drove the whole way from Ireland and had savage craic....

Mad place so it is.... And was too packed for my liken... Gonna go again when its less packed...

 

and this is...when?

 

Yea I would also like to know when this is (I thought Easter was last weekend??). I finally got my FC registered (with temp plates anyway) and I should get my new tires next week around wensday. I would very much like to go if for nothing else just to check it out. I'm not feelin like kissin the guard rail within the first month I have my car, but I would like to drive it (the ring) just to say I have. Hey...AF1...Am I to understand that you work at the place in Ramstein where you get your car inspected? And if so, when do you work because I would rather a fellow rotary head inspect my car than some joe off the street. I'm not asking for anything special it's just that you obviously know a little about FC's and it would be cool to meet you in person.

 

Guys ! Read post dates! This thread started well before easter 2006, actually in November 2005.

 

Its open most evenings from 5 - 7 to the public... Durin the days car manufacturers use it for testin mainly...

But there are certain days its open to the public for the whole day like at easter.... Mad place....

wow, so I clicked on the wrong forum... hi from canada!

When I clicked on this thread I thought it was going to be a GT4 challenge or something.. you guys are SO lucky over there! man, what I would give to be able to take my car for a few laps around the 'ring. I should go over there and rent an rx8 or something. I must do that one day.


Neat seeing a fullsize dodge pickup with european plates, I must say I didn't expect to see that.. are there lots over there?
