After this years Lemans meeting we believe it's time to "raise the bar" for 2014. At Lemans we received quite some input on what went "wrong" this year. This was very valuable info that both Dimer and me (Bas) have taken into account when looking at a program for 2014. Below you will find a provisional program for 2014, why provisional? Because we have to await the 2014 track calender which will be released in December by all tracks to make sure there are no major events. But we will make it definite ASAP!

The Program:

16th of may:
14:00 Start of the meeting at Circuit Spa Francorchamps Belgium (time to catch up and shake hands)
15:00: VIP tour of the Circuit, (paddock zones, Pitlanes, Boxes, Media centre etc. etc.)
17:00: Check in at "Hotel La Source" http://www.hotel-de-la-source.com/en/hotel/presentation
19:00: Dinner at Hotel La Source
21:30: Time to hit the hotel bar

17th of may:
09:00: Start of a "navigated" drive to the Nurburgring through the Eiffel (in both a tour and sport group)
11:30: Arrival at the Nurburgring, "track safety training / driving tips" from multple podium / VLN winner Stefan Wolflick (a nurburgring veteran)
13:00: Short lunch (this is final yet)
13:45: Time to hit the Nordschleife (touristenfahrten), please note this is at own risk / costs. Stefan Wolflick is available to join you giving you live driving tips at extra costs (TBA).
18:30: Check in at Dorint hotel Nurburgring (located at the start finish of the GP track)
19:00: Dinner at Dorint hotel Nurburgring (or a local restaurant located near the ring)
21:00: Awards will be given out as we did this year at Lemans
21:30: Time to hit the hotel bar and exchange your Nurburgring experience with fellow owners

18th Of May:
09:00: Start of a "navigated" drive to Hondafest Venlo, taking your again through the Eiffel and over the German Autobahn (1 stretch with no speed limit)
11:00: Arrival at Hondafest, a big Honda event (which had a great kickoff last year) with Souly Honda Enthusiasts. Last year they had a record amount of Type R's that gathered there. All NSX'es will get a centre spot at the meeting.
????: End of the meeting where everybody can go their own way.

Currently the above is still to be confirmed, but we sure hope you like the provisional program. We have currently asked all Hotel's / restaurants to give us package deals on meals / rooms and we will get you a "Package price" ASAP. Looking at costs we are trying to keep costs at around € 199,00 per person (being based on 2 people per car). This includes Hotel rooms (with breakfast), VIP tour at Spa, Nurburgring track safety / tips course, Entry to Hondafest Venlo and Diner on both evenings.

To get an accurate number of attendee's we would like to ask you to fill out an RSVP here:

Well done for the pre -planning ... any thoughts on an actual track session at Spa?
(assume this is happening but schedule dates yet tbc by track)
Defo food for thought for me

[Rdevelopments]

Trackday on Spa is high on the list, and we are awaiting info from Spa, the only real issue there is insurance and renting the track.
It will cost around € 12000,00 to rent it for a day, but insurance etc etc pushes the price up. And at Lemans there where only 4 track drivers.

So yes we are looking into it, but it can probably only be done in combination with another party. (which we are in contact with to see if we can make it happen)

[NSXGB]

RSVP'd

Japfest will have to wait another year...

[flyingsniffer]

I thought Spa would be £££s to hire.

An alternative that I have come across (we do a lot of driving work in Belgiun) is Circuit Mettet (http://www.circuit-mettet.be/). It's a lot cheaper but it isn't Spa, that's for sure! And as Bas says, it needs a few people to commit to drive on the circuit.

[NSXGB]

Would be nice to get a few dozen parade laps round Spa...

[nobby]

I would be happy just taking part in a normal track session if required ... did not think about exclusively booking

could be a potential trip as its my 40th year :)

[Senninha]

Well the car will need a bl**dy good run by then so add me to your list, and if there's a few laps of Spa in the mix I'd be very happy rgds Paul

[goldtop]

I'm a very keen maybe for this. Annoyingly though, the only thing in my diary for 2014 is Japan for 2 weeks from the 19th! That date's not set in stone yet, so I'll see if it's moveable.

[Rdevelopments]

Good to see all the positive reactions on here, as said the trackday at Spa is high on the list we are awaiting Spa's confirmation on this. We looked into alternatives like Mettet and Zolder, but really they don't offer the magic and scenery of Spa. Furthermore not the driving roads, as i can tell you from experience driving from Spa to the Nurburgring is a track on it's own.

We already have had 9 people sign up, for those that want to attend please fill out the RSVP here so we can get accurate numbers for booking hotel's and the tours. It can be filled out here, please also add your email so we can also email you the info!

[Senninha]

One of my favourite drives is from the coffee/cake shop in the Eiffel forest to nurburgring, many miles of superb open and sweeping smooth Tarmac ... More fun than the 'ring itself IMO

[nobby]

+1 for me as well

[andystevo]

I'm provisionally up for it, assuming I can get one of my mates to ride shotgun. Thinking about Hull- Zeebrugge Thurs-Fri (long sailing with easy start in the morning, so plenty of time to recover from a long night in the bar) then maybe Amsterdam - Newcastle Sun-Mon (reasoning as before). Sailed from Hull last year en route to Le Mans (TVR Tuscan co-driver), worked very well given that we'll be coming down from near Glasgow, cuts out a lot of UK motorway driving for those of us who survive out in the styx . Just in case anyone else might wish to consider something similar - the more, the merrier...

[Richard B Jones]

Having heard about this year's trip from Dr Mikey, I have completed the RSVP - can't wait !

[Silver Surfer]

Interested...RSVP'd

[havoc]

Hmmm...our anniversary weekend. Would like to, but need to work out a way to avoid divorce...

Track time at Spa - would be good, but as above, wouldn't want a whole day, assuming that is I can sweet-talk Becs into not divorcing me! An exclusive NSX-session or two would be good (4-mile track...can probably fit 25 cars in one session without it feeling crowded).

Dorint Hotel - know it's right by the GP-Strecke, but isn't that the one owned by the idiots who caused all the current problems and tried to drive local (long-established) businesses under by tying hotel / food / TF passes all together? If so, couldn't we talk nicely to e.g. Pistenklause or one of the other larger locally-owned hotels?

COunt me in as interested, although we are due to open Terminal 2 at Heathrow a few weeks later so I might be busy!

Hotel Diane is where Ive stayed in the past a few times, plus htye have a sister hotel 300yds away (they are mother and daughter owned from memeory). Introduced to us by Dan & Barry, great location and rates. Sure I have the details somewhere but decorating office so not sure where they are stored!

[havoc]

Quick question - I'm sorting insurance out this week, and struggling with N'ring cover.

Does anyone still have 'ring cover with their policy (for TF days not trackdays), or can still arrange it separately (inc 3P cover!!!)??? If so, please let me know which broker / underwriter.

Thanks,

Martin.

[NSXGB]

AFAIK you won't get any sort of Nurburgring cover anywhere.

Haus Marvin & Pension Diana?

http://pension-diana.com/eng/main.html

[Rdevelopments]

As an alternative for the Nurburgring hotel we are looking into "Hotel am Tiergarten" (hotel owned by the parents of Sabine Schmitz). Getting insurance coverage for te Nurburgring is next to impossible, furthermore you should note that if you are insured you can be 99% sure they won't pay up. As after every accident the police does an investigation, if it shows you where speeding (yes it has no speed limit but all speeds above 120 kph are marked as speeding) you won't get anything!

We hope to give you guys an update asap, but currently we have to await the track calendars!

[Senninha]

Thats the place ... might still have your favourite trampoline Simon ...

[havoc]

Have got provisional pass-out from Becs, but insurance doesn't cover N'ring, so if it's a TF day then "ah'm oot"...so a track-session at Spa would be very welcome...

[flyingsniffer]

Everitt Boles might cover Nurburgring, with a max payout of £30k.

https://secure.moris.co.uk/trackday_quick_cover.asp

But remember, insurers aren't daft.

[Rdevelopments]

Hi Guys,

Time for an update! We have been very busy lately and currently are awaiting confirmation from http://www.spa-classic.com/. They are organising a big meeting in the same weekend.
We are trying to get a "club parking" for friday, and yes all you track addicts there are 2 track sessions of 25 minutes on friday (€ 90,00 per session, 1 advanced, 1 beginner).

Regarding Hotels, because of this event it's hard to book a stay for the friday night near the track. So we are looking into (affordable) alternatives.

We will update again asap!

Best regards Bas

[Dimer]

We most probably have the Hotels sorted. Bas and I will visit both Hotels next weekend and we'll explore the routes we have set out. Expect some twisty roads and sloped hairpins through the Eifel National Park, combined with high speed runs on the German Autobahn.

[Dimer]

http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii192/dimert/Capture_zpsff2f31fa.jpg

[Rdevelopments]

We have done the full route lat weekend, we are currently finalising a group deal with the hotel. If you prefer to stand beside your car in a parking lot this is not your kind of meeting ;-), Prepare yourself for high speed autobahn, narrow b roads, Hair pins And amazing views!

REGISTER NOW FOR THE NSX CLUB EUROPE TOUR 2014

NSX Club Europe Tour 2014 We are happy to announce the final program for the NSX Club Europe tour 2014. The event will be held from the 16th of may until the 18th of may 2014. After extensive planning and scouting we have come up with the following program:

The Spa Classic is an event born in 2011. It has grown in stature, experience and maturity! It reminds us of the heroic machines of another era with their mighty surges of horsepower and the roar of their engines as the Classic Endurance Racing, Sixties’ Endurance and Trofeo Nastro Rosso cars plunge down into Eau Rouge before accelerating up the Raidillon. Homage is paid to this temple of endurance racing, which hosts the famous Spa-Francorchamps 24 Hours for Touring Cars, with the new Heritage Touring Cup born from the success met by the Touring car grid at the Spa-Classic. Furthermore you can catch up with fellow enthusiast and enjoy the scenery.

* Track time can be pre booked on Friday, € 90,00 (25 minute session, skilled or beginner)

http://nsxclubeurope.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/moezel.jpg

16:00 Time to head for the Hotel. For the weekend we have selected a beautiful 4 star Hotel in Luxemburg. This hotel is centrally placed between the venues we are going to visit. This 4 star hotel has an air cooled underground parking garage. The access has no bumps, holes or nasty ramps.
19:30 At the hotel’s restaurant a 3 course meal will be served,
** APPETIZERS Salmon tartar with estragon or Chicken salad with chili pepper or Vegetable gazpacho

So prepare yourself for narrow b roads, hair pins and amazing views! 14:00 Arrival at the legendary Nurburgring, on the 17th there will be a “VLN championship” race at the Nurburgring. We will arrive at one of the best “viewing points” at the ring. Where you can enjoy the action of the race, eat a nice “bratwurst”.

Day 3: Time to show off that NSX!
Venue: Venlo Netherlands / Nurburgring
Program: For this day we have 2 options, everybody is free to decide which option they want to use.
Option 1: 07:00 – 08:15 After a good night sleep an breakfast will be served in the hotel restaurant. 08:30 Time to head to www.hondafest.eu (http://www.hondafest.eu) one of the biggest Honda meetings in Europe, where they have reserved a spot especially for the NSX Club Europe. We have set a route taking you over the German Autobahn and there are various unlimited area’s. Because it is Sunday morning the roads will be nice and empty ☺. 11:30 Arrival at Hondafest, where you can explore the event, chat with fellow owners, enjoy a good lunch and make some nice pictures. This will also be the “end” of the program for the 2014 meeting. As people have to travel quite far we have kept the program “short” on the Sunday.

Option 2: 07:00 – 09:30 After a good night sleep an breakfast will be served in the hotel restaurant. 10:00 Yes yes, we can already hear the track guys moaning, why can’t we drive the Nurburgring on Saturday… That’s why we have a second option in the program. On Sunday “Touristenfahrten” are planned. We have set a quick route to the Nurburgring where everybody can enjoy a lap on the Nordschleife. (€ 27,00 per lap). This will also be the “end” of the program for the 2014 meeting. As people have to travel quite far we have kept the program “short” on the Sunday.

Prices:
Car with 2 people attending the weekend: € 249,00 per person
Car with 1 person attending the weekend: € 299,00

We are currently seeking “event sponsors” to get the event price down. When we reach the registration of 15 cars everybody will receive € 15,00 discount, when we reach more then 25 cars entering everybody will receive € 25,00 discount on the prices above!

To summarize it, an “Epic Weekend”.

What’s not included?
– Drinks at the hotel bar/restaurant, everybody will get a “card” which has to be paid when you leave the bar/restaurant.
– Fuel, but luckily being in Luxemburg the fuel price is very low (€ 1,32 per liter) cigarettes are also very cheap compared to other countries in Europe.
– Speeding tickets, Germany is a very “tolerant” country towards spirited driving, we do have to point out that if there is a “100 kph’s sign” that you should definitely not drive faster!

3. Mjames75
4. L696ULO
5. Whyone?
6. Papalazarou

@Flyingsniffer is I believe interested in this event, as am I.

Anyone else interested in attending?

[Rdevelopments]

If you have multiple guys travelling by themselves and willing to share a room the € 249,00 amount will be charged.
Please note we can't be held accountable for:

- Snoring
- Smelly feet
- Frontal nudity

etc.etc......

I'm working on the missus, as this is our anniversary weekend (and given we have a small child, she couldn't ride shotgun even if she wanted to). Wish me luck...should be OK.

Standing in a wet field in Kent vs driving classic roads and tracks in Europe with 4 star hotels...... I'm torn ;)

My mate appears to have got approval for co-driver, so I'm likely up for it.
Likely Hull-Zeebrugge ferry Thursday/Friday and Rotterdam-Hull Sunday/Monday.

What are the main routes people will take to get to this event from UK?

If I was going (hoping) would like to head over with others but not sure I want to have multiple ferry crossings to do and pay for ... Is heading for the channel tunnel an option for eg?

Nobby,
I've done both routes to the Continent.
The tunnel is certainly a very effective way of crossing (did it last year on the freight route - me and another mate in among the big boys with a LWB Sprinter packed full of bikes, while the other 16 guys used planes, trains and automobiles to get to the French Alps). Just a totally forgettable experience in itself.
We used the Hull - Zeebrugge ferry service en route to and from Le Mans two years ago and I felt it added to the trip - reasonable food on board, plus plenty of time in the bar both nights without having to get up too early the following morning...
Cost-wise not too bad either - a quick check suggests ~ £325 return with P&O for car, driver and passenger, including twin berth cabins and all food. Leaving from Hull saves me 150+ miles each way of boring British Motorways, plus we would still likely do B&B somewhere near Folkestone if using the Tunnel or any of the shorter ferry crossings.
Andrew

[nobby]

Hi Andrew

cheers for response, but for me the most direct route is for me to head to Dublin, get ferry to Holyhead, then drive to tunnel and then head over to Belgium. It's around 750m in total ...

maybe some of the more southern Engerland owners may fancy a meet up.

would need to price the hull ferry up etc before making a more decisive decision

As i work in the UK i travel quite a bit between the Netherlands and the UK. I usually use the Eurotunnel, as simply it's quickest / cheapest option most of the time.
You would be looking at around £ 75,00 for a single journey, biggest advantage is that the crossing only takes 35 minutes.

Edit: Forgot the biggest upside, no high ramps etc etc to get on for people with a lowered NSX!

[havoc]

I'll be doing M40 / M25 / Tunnel, assuming I can get it sorted. If timing permits, happy to convoy with you Nobby!

[NSX 2000]

I'm also hoping to do this and if I do I will be going Euro Tunnel. It's so easy.

Just need to confirm a few things.

[flyingsniffer]

I am hoping to make this event but am less certain that before due to 'unforseen circumstances' - it will probably be March before I can commit. I can guarantee that anyone who does go, will have a great time.

For those contemplating Eurotunnel, have a look at using any Tesco Clubcard vouchers you might have: they were worth 3:1 last summer, so a £180 crossing cost me £60 in vouchers.

You're not wrong there! "95 euros in cash please" - still, it was an expertly executed drift around the roundabout ;)

[lotusolly]

I was hoping to attend this event and looking forward to a European trip but unfortunatly some personal circumstances will mean I would not be able to commit until the last minute which is probably going to mean I won't be able to book in :(

We can always try to book 1 or 2 people in latest 31st of april..

But we need to confirmation to pre book / pre pay the hotel / venues At the special group rates.

[andystevo]

Just checked out going by tunnel. Only £98 return (out Friday morning, back Sunday afternoon). However, ~550miles more motorway driving (UK & Europe) plus 2 nights accommodation & food. So, for me at least, the overnight ferry crossing still looks the best option.
Convoys are always good fun though.

[nobby]

I am definitely interested for sure, but not just ready to pull the trigger ... wife off on maternity leave means less funds in the kitty (esp this month) and need to get work done to car prior to heading off.

But if a good contingent is heading from UK happy to meet up with those heading for the tunnel and convoying over to the meet.

[Rdevelopments]

If you need a room for your kids that you want to take to the event we can book a connecting room for them, at € 198,00 we can book a children's room for 2 kids including breakfast and dinner!
For all you jokers, no you can't book a children's room if your over 12 years old....

I've got the go-ahead for this now from the wife! :D Just need to find the money...

Ref. the track time, I've seen on the Spa Classic website that there's two sessions of "up to 80 cars" each. Is this your understanding?

I need to check with my insurer if I'm covered...do you know if the track time is being organised by the Circuit themselves or by the organisers of the Spa Classic (and do we know who they are, if different to the Circuit)? Would be very nice to do a few laps of Spa, even if it will be a little busy on there...

Ref. the track time, I've seen on the Spa Classic website that there's two sessions of "up to 80 cars" each. Is this your understanding?

I need to check with my insurer if I'm covered...do you know if the track time is being organised by the Circuit themselves or by the organisers of the Spa Classic (and do we know who they are, if different to the Circuit)? Would be very nice to do a few laps of Spa, even if it will be a little busy on there...

The track session is part of the Spa Classic.

It will indeed be quite busy on the track, but luckily Spa is a very long track. I won't expect to set some records, but just enjoy driving Spa Franchorchamps.

Anyone from the UK attending this?

[andystevo]

Still thinking about it.
Was definitely up for it a few weeks ago and my mate was given the all-clear for co-driver duties, but suspect I'm currently going through an anti-car phase - just sold the Caterham.
Will see how I feel over the next week or so.

[Rdevelopments]

Anyone from the UK attending this?


Michael from R-motion is attending
Flyingsniffer (Rob) will probably be attending (depending on his broken leg i believe)

NXCGB was thinking of attending
NSX2000 (Paul) was thinking of attending

A lot of maybe's at the moment :-). Would be great to have you guys joining!

[flyingsniffer]

Indeed, subject to getting a pass out (from my wife who is currently looking after me superbly, driving me round etc) and getting the OK to drive, I'll be there! Can't confirm for a few weeks, but am in touch with Bas who knows the score.

If you're dithering....don't, just get signed up. The European guys are great fun and after all, we buy these cars to drive them, not sit and look at them/congratulate ourselves on how much they have gone up in value (haven't we?).

[rokk73]

What about this point at Day 2?

16:30 The race has now finished, time to head back to the Hotel in Luxemburg. We have set a route over the “Autobahn”, with some “unlimited areas”. The first one to arrive back at the hotel will receive a small prize ☺. Even though there are no maximum speeds, please keep it safe!

[Rdevelopments]

Hi Rokk73,

Whats not clear about that point? We are happy to awnser all questions! You can also drop us an email with any questions info@nsxclubeurope.com

Thanks!

I'm going, just need to get my ass in gear and send you a PM BAZ with my details.

[havoc]

Do we know if there are still slots available for the Spa track sessions?

I've got permission from Becs, just need to sort hols out at work...

[rokk73]

Sorry my mistake. Thought you booked a hotel at luxemburg and one at nürburgring. Therefore my question what about point 2. But I read, that the hotel at nürburbring was cancled.
I think I will be in, but need a few weeks to be sure. Started a new business and had alot of things to do so I'm not able to register right now.

As of yet there are still spots available, and we've asked them to "announce" our track sessions on the 16th of Febuary, hence the "closing date" has moved forward for people that want to attend the track session at Spa.

Anyone from the UK going via Folkstone/Calais on Thursday. Just looking at Chunnel bookings, wondered if anyone wanted to convoy over?

Cheers,

[andystevo]

I've already booked the overnight ferry.
Hull - Zeebrugge on the way out, Rotterdam - Hull return.
£350 for the car and both of us including double bunks and evening meal / breakfast both ways, which I thought wasn't too bad.

[Rdevelopments]

Just a few hours left to register, today is the final registration day for the discounted price. Reason being we have to confirm the number of hotel guests and attendee's to the various events.

We are very proud to announce that the “pre registration” has closed and we have 25 NSX teams joining the tour in May. Because of this reason all Pre-Entry’s will receive a € 25,00 Euro discount on their entry fee’s.

The following teams have entered:

Hirofumi Tomiyoshi chairman of the NSX Club of Japan is bringing fellow enthusiasts Toshihasa Tajima, Shigeru Miyano and Yoshimitsy Ishii. We are currently trying to arrange transport with a rental from Honda. Further we would like to ask the people that are driving solo to take them on a passenger ride to give them the “full experience” of the tour. We are also looking into a “technical response vehicle” to solve any mishaps (which obviously don’t happen, but if they do can be sorted by an experienced Honda mechanic (the vehicle will also carry a small amount of spares and tools.

If you unfortunately where to late to enter in the pre registration, you can still contact us and we will try our best to Book the hotels / Venues. Please send us an email on info@nsxclubeurope.com.

Quick question - when do we get confirmation of a place on one of the track sessions...I need to sort insurance for it.

Thanks,

Hi Martin,

I'll chase the organisation up for the confirmation. The track session is booked but i've not yet received a time.

I'll get back to you asap!

And are looking very much forward to the tour in may!

Best regards,

Any other UK members travelling on the Friday morning?

I've booked a Thurs lunchtime tunnel. Didn't fancy the OMG-it's-early start on Friday morning from Stratford to get to Spa for a sensible time...

May see you en route then...

[flyingsniffer]

I'm now 'in the show'! Doctor gave me the all clear to drive yesterday, so the NSX is coming out of hibernation for a service/MOT at Norton Way, and wash next week. Bas has very kindly kept a space open for me - well done pal.

My plan is to travel over early Thursday am on Eurotunnel and spend the day at my Brussels office (so I can cunningly disguise the trip as a business one ;-). I'll stay the the Novotel Brussels airport if anyone wants to meet up, in prep for the run up in to the Ardennes on the Friday morning.

Look forward to seeing the UK and European guys and gals, some from last year and some new. I'm pleased to see a good UK turnout this year - according to my calcs we are 7 - giving the Flatlanders (10) a run for their money!

Great news.

See you there...

Thanks. I was so disappointed not to win the award for the best 'stock' car last year, I have worked extra hard since.......



......by doing lots of mods! No longer will I be the quietest, bounciest car in the convoy

Any other UK members travelling on the Friday morning?

I am Simon. What time are you thinking?

[NSXGB]

I think the 07:50 out, arriving about 09:25, journey to Spa is about 3 hours (?) so we get there by about 12:30, all being well. Should bypass most of the rush hour traffic around Calais travelling at those times too.

We don't want to make it earlier as the Spa meet kicks off at 10am according to the tour time details? I'm not bothered either way as long as we stop in Belgium for a quick coffe and waffle;)

[Rdevelopments]

There will be a pre meeting spot at a big gas station from where we want to drive to the Spa circuit. We will send the "pre meeting" info asap per email!

That means getting up very early! Might even think of going the night before, I need the beauty sleep...

[andystevo]

Our ferry doesn't get in to Zeebrugge until 8:45am and we've also got a ~3hr drive, so I'm reckoning ~12:30pm for us as well.
On another note, I booked track time at Spa but not sure I'll risk using it (my insurance policy doesn't include track days, not even on a one-off payment basis). Assuming it's transferrable, anyone else want it?
Andrew

[flyingsniffer]

Dr.Mikey and I are going to try and meet in Ghent on the 15th and stay over at the Marriott (no1 hotel in Belgium on Tripadvisor, apparently!). If anyone else wants to join, let me know and I'll try and get a deal.

Edit

Ah bo**ocks the hotel is full that night. Will do some research on alternatives. If anyone else wants to put their hand up, let me know

[Rdevelopments]

@ Andrew, i can see if i can cancel your track session if you not want to risk your insurance policy! Just send me an Email if you wish to Cancel!

[havoc]

I'm on the 13.20 tunnel on the Thurs lunchtime.

Currently planning on visiting Ypres for a few hours (may stay for the 8pm ceremony), then hitting a hotel in mid-Belgium for the night, so I've only got 60-90mins to get to Spa. Very happy to join-up with others that afternoon/evening if you're around. Have already done some research on hotels, plus Bas sent me a link last week, so got a couple of ideas but nothing booked yet. Budget's tight this year so would prefer a mid-level hotel if possible...if it's >€100 a night it's almost worth going straight to Luxembourg and checking into the main place, time permitting.

[flyingsniffer]

Andrew, if you are still interested in a track drive, try Everitt Boles:http://www.everittboles.com/. They will cover you but I have no idea how much they will charge. It would be a pity to miss the track session. With a maximum of 80 cars on track I suspect it will be a bit of a parade but it will be a good opportunity for a hoon about on the circuit.

[nobby]

Hi mate

i am no track demon or experienced racer ... But I implore you to just go when u have the chance. Spa would be a fab experience in the NSX. Don't be worrying about being out there any track day I have been on there is good instruction etc. Just take your time and get the feel for the car. No one is expecting u to rip up the track.

i went to the ring, had a blast over. 10 laps. Yeah I was all over the shop but hey I kept it safe when others did not and pushed the car hard.

if ur doing this trip don't give up the chance to drive spa! I for one would love to.

btw I have never had any insurance cover on any of my days. Just keep ur head and u will be fine

Andrew

[havoc]

I'm sort-of with Andrew on this one...if you can arrange it so you get the opportunity, do so...it's Spa! But with a few caveats...

- There'll be up to 80 cars of mixed pace and ability, so you're not going to have much chance to go 10/10ths for long anyway.
- Insurance might be a good thing - you might be driving at 8/10ths, but if one of the others is going 11/10ths and cocks up...
- If your insurance won't cover you, Competition Car Insurance will - part of Footman James now. Think the typical policy is still a "by value" policy (i.e. you pick how much cover you want vis-a-vis likely repair costs), with a 10% excess...so not perfect, but would be a good disaster-avoidance plan.

All that said, if the cost for those 25mins gets too high, then it might not be worth it, esp. if you're running the risk of traffic en-route. Make a couple of calls first, then decide...

[andystevo]

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Not so bothered about my own driving, more concerned about being whacked by someone else (obviously not another NSX driver).
I've contacted Everitt Boles anyway to obtain a quotation - will let you know how I get on. Might give Competition Car Insurance a go as well.
Reminds me of a story I heard at Le Mans a couple of years ago. Guy took his F355 to Spa with a mate, who managed to wrap it. Still driveable but almost every panel dented. A very long drive home - you can only say sorry so many times. Mate paid the excess, told his wife it was £500 (actually £5k).

If I had bwwn the E type driver I think I would have knocked him out for coming so close to my car!

[nobby]

Based on that footage I don't think you can blame the jag driver completely

[Senninha]

Whatever he's peddling it looks a bit of a handful and he showed good skills to keep it pointing the right way, but for me was taking too many risks if this is just a 'track' day event and not an official race meeting ...

What is it he's driving?

Cripes! My annual policy with CCI (inc up to 6 track days) is only just over twice that.

Snetterton next week, Spa in May all sorted.

[havoc]

Wow! I've been asked £75 by my insurer, and thought that was a little steep for 1 session, but then considered it's with the standard excess...

Did we decide which crossing to book?

[havoc]

Did we ever get confirmation of the track-session places, or were these definite if booked before the deadline?

Did we decide which crossing to book?

Hi Paul,
Gary and Steve are now coming along and we are looking at the 07:20 or 07:50 crossing, will let you know when I find out which one Gary decides (as he is coming furthest away). Should be tomorrow...

[NSXGB]

Paul,
Myself, Gary and Steve are booking the 07:20 outbound on the 16th. Return is up to how long you want to stay in Venlo. I'm booking the 20:20 back which should give around 5 hours there. You can always go stand-by on the tunnel if you leave earlier.

[Rdevelopments]

Hi Guys,

Just a short update, i'm receiving the Spa tickets / track bookings tomorrow. As soon as i have them in my hand i'll email all track drivers the details.
We are looking very much forward to the event and have just a few things left to arrange (roadbook).

The prizes are nearly ready;

And only one red! Good turnout from the UK contingent...and good to see that those who went last year are all (more or less) back.

I'm sure those guys going to Leeds Castle will have a great (static) time too :-).

BTW when I booked my Eurotunnel crossing by phone, the guy was so enthusiastic that he was going to come in one his day off to see my car. When I told him there were probably a few more during the day, he nearly wet himself.

[NSXGB]

Chaps, Don't forget to tell your insurance company that you are taking your car out of the country - you have to inform them before you go, otherwise they will not cover you in the unfortunate event of an accident.

I know we need the warning triangle, hi vis, first aid kit & beam deflectors....do we need the breathalyser thing's now?
Anything else?

[flyingsniffer]

do we need the breathalyser thing's now?
Anything else?

In theory if you are crossing to Calais, you will need them for the France bit. Available at the Eurotunnel.

GB sticker unless you have a '12 star identifier' number plate.

Spare bulb set would be a good idea too.

There is a session at the Nurburgring from 1800 - 1900 on the Saturday: maybe we can persuade Bas and Dimer to save us some dinner and then we can do both?

[NSXGB]

Hi Bas

There will be at least 4 of the UK contingent who will miss the 10am meet at the Shell station on the E40. What will be the best way for us to collect our tickets?

We will be leaving Calais around 9am so will be at Spa around 12 ish depending upon traffic.

I'm happy to save people's dinner, it's a buffet style dinner the 2nd night. We can maybe look into pushing the dinner to 8 o clock....

Until now;

11x Hondafest
2x Nurbugring

So it looks like Billy 1 mate ;-)....

For the people that cannot make the pre meet at the shell station we'll provide you with contact details so you can ring me or Dimer 30 mins prior to arriving and we will be at the gate with the tickets.
We also debated sending them to the UK by post, but seeing the postal system is not the best / we are on a tight budget the above option seems the best.

[NSXGB]

Thanks Bas.

[flyingsniffer]

Gary, didn't realise that you were coming, good news. Are you going for one of the awards with your car ;-)

Not many up for a trip round the 'ring? To my mind, going there and not driving it is a bit like having sex using a rubber glove as a condom! But I appreciate that it's a risk: no way even Competition Car Insurance will cover that run out......

[andystevo]

I doubt that we'll reach Spa much before midday either.
No problems with dinner at 8pm.
Hondafest for us, can't remember though if I confirmed this previously.

[Hagasan]

Hi Rob,

yes going now but it was only a late decision at the start of this week. I'm no car polisher so not sure what "award"!!

I've been around the 'ring a good few times in the past.... In the NSX as well as other cars. There's always a first time for a mistake and I hate condoms!! I've chanced my luck so far in life ;-) Seriously though, I've got a slot for Spa and at least CCI cover that track. I've been there but never driven it. Like a lot of people, I am a "most excellent driver" and it's all the others I worry about :-p If it's raining cats and dogs I may bug out. After all the time, cost and effort I've put into my car I find it kind of irreplaceable. I'm not scared to use it by any means but just want to limit the unnecessary risks...

If I don't do the track sessions myself I will offer it to someone else on the day...

I'm also doing Spa track session but not N'ring...for the same reason - insurance!

That said, I was toying with visiting the 'ring on Sunday just to see what was there / what was running...not quite a several-hundred Honda meet, but more variety perhaps...

If you think this is not enough time then happy to meet earlier.

The roadbooks have arrived from the printers, all "driver packages" should be ready in time:

Looking good!

For those of us with old-tech satnavs (esp. those on our own), does the roadbook have GPS coords for the waypoints in it? I could do with pre-programming a series of waypoints each morning then moving from one to the next as we drive...

Cheers,

Martin.

[Rdevelopments]

Hi Martin,

No fancy GPS driving, but good old navigated driving. We will make groups of 5+ cars and we will make sure that the ones driving on their own will be in a group with navigated drivers.
But if people get lost we have of course put the address in of the end point, so they can drive there.

gutted to have not been able to go in the end

[flyingsniffer]

Well, I'm back! The rest of the UK crew went off to Hondafest today, but I headed back via the Ardennes and Spa, glad I did as I'm absolutely knackered. 1127 miles since Thursday (450 today). The guys going via Venlo and coming back tonight must be beat. As of this morning all the cars seemed to be running perfectly - just one clutch release bearing failure at Spa on one Dutch car.

Great fun weekend, good to meet up with the European contingent and the 4 Japanese guys. I took one of them over to Nurburgring yesterday and he was full of information. Weather couldn't have been better, just needed some suncream!

I'm a bit low on pics as I'm a rubbish photographer and fundamentally lazy. I'm sure more will come along!

Well done Bas and Dimer - great work you guys did.

[NSX 2000]

What a weekend, set off at 5:50am on Friday (this was late compared to others) and arrived at Spa about midday to meet up with our fellow European colleagues who gave as a warm welcome. Well I can highly recommend the Spa Classic, you could get right upto the cars and track and nobody in yellow hi-vis saying you not allowed in there! But the best of show (well noise) was the Mazda 787B, what a car!
Then off to our Hotel in Luxumbourg and very nice it was too. Saturday morning/afternoon was a wonderful drive along the River Mosel to the Ring, (well for the ones that made it ;)) then a quick drive back to the hotel along some derestricted autobahns to see how fast your car could go.
Sunday was off to Hondafest in Venlo in convoy of approx 30 NSX's, this was a great site! (Papa you would of loved Hondafest).


Anyway a very big thankyou to Bas and Dimer, it was a wonderful weekend, but also a thankyou to everybody else as well for making it such a success and a very good weekend! I hope you all got home OK (with the exception of flying sniffer ;))

Paul

[NSXGB]

Thanks Bas & Dimer for organising such a great weekend. I hardly took any pictures (was very lazy), I'm pretty confident Dimers photographer covered absolutely everything (sorry forgot his name but looked like the bloke from The Hangover).

Great fun & great company, roll on next year...

[drmikey]

Yes an amazing weekend. Just too short as usual. Nice to meet Simon, Gary and Steve for the first time.

Glad everyone got back OK. We got back to Wales about 1am. Tired and sunburnt but very happy.

[Dimer]

Good to hear everyone got home safe and happy!

I had a great time this weekend! It was amazing to see so many people coming to this event. I think I can also speak for Bas if I say that I'm both proud and happy to see so many smiling faces the whole weekend.

We got home at about 20:00. Also sunburnt.. I'm the joke of the day here at work :D

Allard (the one who looks like the bloke from The Hangover), just released his first picture:

Now where are all the photos!

[Hagasan]

Just wanted to add my thanks to all involved. Thanks to Bas and Dimer for organising and to all for the relaxed and chilled atmosphere. It was good to meet faces new and old...As a few of you are aware, I have a few things on my plate at the moment so thanks to those who had the patience and understanding to listen to me when I felt the need to talk...it was greatly appreciated. Still managed the odd laugh and silly giggle!!

Sorry I have no pics to contribute...maybe next year lol....but would love to see the "official" ones when available.

[andystevo]

Gavin and I arrived home lunchtime today.
Great weekend, lots of very friendly fellow enthusiasts and some fantastic high speed convoy driving (yesterday morning in particular from Luxembourg to Venlo).
I haven't seen so many NSXs in my life, and suspect I never will again!
Lots of credit should go to Bas and Dimer - we shouldn't underestimate the amount of time and effort expended by both in organising such a successful event.

[havoc]

Finally got the time to post up - got home 10pm last night, work and then Prince gig today. Knackered...but still smiling! Great weekend, cracking cars and roads, and some new friends...definitely up for another trip!

Am now downloading photo and video, so hopefully will have some stuff to share later this week...suspect Allard and Jeroen will have the best pics though...

[flyingsniffer]

Now where are all the photos!

cheers Ian

Ian, you will regret saying that shortly. However there is one pic I have seen so far that sums up the trip. Dr.Mikey's car...'nuff said

12167

I'm mildly annoyed that I washed my front last night as it was similarly covered.

[Rdevelopments]

We might have an extra 2 day tour in September.... If people are interested ;-)...

[Dimer]

I have some pics I took on the first day...

Hi Everyone,

http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/content.php?79-NSX-at-25-2015-at-Silverstone

I wanted to bring this to your attention. Next year the NSX we all know and love turns 25 yrs of age. On the back of another successful weekend at Silverstone (3 day event we have attended for the past 3/4 yrs), the organisers have asked if we would like to put on an extra special display of the NSX, together with track display parade around this most famous circuit at next years event.

The link Ive posted will take to the post where we are guaging early interest so that we can work with the Silverstone Organisers to ensure we have a good display area and good track access for the parade, likely to be on the Saturday.

If you would like to join us, please add your name to the list and we really hope you can join us for what has always been a great event each year.

Thank you, Paul

Hello Paul,

Sounds great-can't access the link for some reason but count me in on Silverstone next year.
