Sounds like that Eunos had wooden brake pads. I've done 32 laps in a long weekend, and driven home with no trouble at all in terms of tyres or brake wear. Because it's high speed, it's not all that hard on either, compared to some UK tracks. Go with newish pads for sure, and take spares, but I've never had to change any there.

In fact the only thing that's ever been hard on the car was when I shifted into neutral going into the Karussel, went into the gulley and out again, and ripped part of the undertray off. Oops. Don't do anything like that and the S will happily take day after day of Nürburgringing.

Gonna have to revive my own thread to have a whinge!

Following from this chat, and scanning all of the nurburgring website's timetables I decided to go forth and book our May trip for a period that had 4 consecutive days of 14.00 to 19.30 tourist time, plenty per day I thought.

Ferries arranged, hotel arranged, breakdown cover etc all paid for and sorted.

Just out of curiousity I checked back on the official (nuerburgring.de) website.....

My 14.00 starts are now 17.30?!?!?!?

What the blue hell are we going to do for the bulk of the day now? (or should it be green hell?)

Any how comes they can keep altering the times like this?

I understand last minute cancellations/amendments based on weather and accidents etc, but how can they print times in January, and then just drop collectively 12 hours of track time per week in March?

Has this ever happened to anyone else?????

Grrrr

I've got half a day booked on Sunday 8th of may in a rent4ring stage 2 swift. Just checked the track timetable and still seems to be ok, hope it stays that way!

The Ring is going through lots of changes at the moment it seems, and mostly bad.

I will only be going there on a trackday from now on.

I went for a day after Spa last year, and that was meant to be 17:30 - 19:30, but by the time we'd got there that'd had turned into 18:15 - 19:30 (although they actually did start just after 6pm). And then a GT3 crashed big time and it was closed for half an hour. Still got 4 laps in, which isn't bad.

You really want to pick a time when they have a few days of 8am - 7:30pm.
