Its maybe worth saving up for or doing the Nurburgring Cannonball.If you want to get an idea of all-in costs for a weekend trip, for a 'standard' weekend (out Fri, full day Saturday, half-day Sunday, return Sun afternoon/eve) from London by car, the costs look something like this:
Channel crossing: Varies, but say typically ?120
Petrol en-route: Typically 2 x ?50 = ?100
Petrol there: Say ?75
Bed-and-breakfast per person: ?20 per night x 2 = ?40
Food: 2 x dinner, 2 x lunch, food en-route, beer = ?80
Ring tickets: Say 2 x 12-lap tickets = ?216
Total = approx ?616
Optional extras available at additional cost include armco repairs, safety car attendance, vehicle recovery, track closure, hospital stays and helicopter rides. I recommend avoiding these. If you can't, then the following price-list may help:
Removing damaged armco: ?10/metre (x2 or x3 or x4 for multiple-height sections)
Replacement armco: ?31/metre (x2 or x3 for double/triple height)
Removing damaged armco posts: ?5.10 each
Replacing armco post: ?39 each
Safety car attendance: ?82 per 30 mins (car + 2 people)
Circuit closure: ?1,350 per hour
Recovery truck: ?175 (inc VAT)
Hospital stay & air ambulance: Let's just say, do NOT go there without travel insurance! (Though a European Health Card - which replaced the E111 - may cover the hospital bit.)
Everything except the recovery truck is then subject to 16% VAT.
The record armco bill I'm aware of is ?15,000. That was a car that managed to flatten a very impressive length of armco between the Quiddlebacher Hohe bridge and the crest on the approach to Flugplatz. But even a minor bump can turn into a surprisingly expensive day out.
22nd July 2006 Nurburgring Cannonball 4 DAY EVENT ?700.00
London ? Nurburgring ? London, 4 days, 60 cars, 700 miles!
Cannonball Rally Checkpoints
The Nurburgring Cannonball is not a race!
However there will be 4 rally checkpoints along the way, each stage counting towards your overall rally time. And to reduce the risk of cheating and advanced planning, route cards and checkpoint details will only be issued on each morning of the Cannonball.
Note the Nurburgring stages will be weighted by a factor of 10 to make things interesting!
