Tell me more about it?
If you’ve always wanted to drive your Mini around the Nürburgring then this run could be just what you're after.
This is a run that can be enjoyed by families with children or serious speed freaks that want to challenge the Ring in their Mini. The run begins at Silverstone with a parade lap of the circuit, before the Minis head to Dover and on to the continent.
Once you arrive at the Nürburgring if you don’t fancy taking you Mini for a spin on the racetrack there is another option. You can take your Mini for a drive on some of the fantastic roads in the surrounding countryside and take in some of the spectacular views.
There will also bee a meet up with the German co-hosts of the event, and no doubt a good time will be had by all.
Why should I go?
Dave Barlow president of Manchester Minis, said: “I did it last year and I can’t wait to go again, it was superb we had a great laugh. Early on the Sunday morning they shut the track and just let the Minis on it. We all lined up down the straight and had our photos taken, then we got one lap with just Minis on the track. Thirteen miles just razzing it all the way, it was amazing.”
When is it?
Thursday 27th July – Tuesday 1st August 2006
Are places limited?
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.
How much will it cost?
It costs £199.50 for one car with one person in it; this rises to £228.50 for one car with two people in. This is because the cost covers ferry crossings, hotels on the way to and from the Ring and camping once you arrive, therefore the more people in the car the higher the price.
Fuel is estimated to cost an additional £160 depending on how economical you Mini is.
