Since its looking like ill be able to make quite a few car related events after April of 2013, I figured why not have a thread with a dedicated list to such events.

Small car shows, big Expos or major events, post them all in here!

Nurburgring 2013 event list is here:

Here is a site with quite a few trade shows listed:

I know German Racewars isnt everyones cup of tea, but do they have the dates out for that yet?


Also, there is a weekly or every other week (cant remember) meet on Fridays in Nuremberg.

The Frankfurt Auto Show is awesome, can't wait for that one.

Gabe you could stay @ spang or see what Rick is planning.

[Mr Kleen]

Too far away, and I don't like staying on base anyway.

[smellthebeans]

What do you mean by too far away?

[Mr Kleen]

It's an hour drive to SPA. I'd rather stay closer and in Belgium so I get some local flavor.

[Rikx1M]

definitely looking for a different place to sleep this time...the last joint had lots of racing history but sorry service and spirit.....
As this is a Friday drive, I might just go to Sabine's mom's hotel in Nurburg Friday night and drive the "ring Sat morning. Anyone up for that?

smellthebeans: the Dutch Driving club are a great bunch of guys and gals, all of us had a great time last March and a full day of driving...see our photos and posts at: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...ght=spa&page=6

@ 135Oreo: great...that's much appreciated! BTW, could use your help updating my playlist to something more appropriate for "balls to the wall" driving..

@ gs/e60/1m?: could you look for someplace that has 3-4 rooms we could reserve for two nights?

@ Mr Kleen: this is an awesome track, make sure you come ready to drive it...we had an awesome time last March.

This is getting me all rev'd up, just thinking about it......time to start a new thread.

Sure thing Rick any requierments to take into consideration? Like there is.... In town or on the countryside; cheap or pricy, (fairly) new or old style, how far from the track is acceptable?

Thanks a bunch! Not that I can think of...anything that is reasonable and has good breakfast as we don't eat much that day...maybe if they allow us to change tires there?

Hey guys, regarding Spa, I started a new thread...let's move this over there...thx
