Ok, so we have notice from BMW that in theory the Salzburgring is BOOKED for 28th May 2013, confirmed by the circuit today.

I will get back to you all about how we pay/firm this up, but it looks like a plan is finally coming together

We have a potential 75 CSLs wanting to go on the trip and only 26 have posted
here to do the track day come on lads get the numbers up :banghead::banghead::banghead:

top work shimmy, it's a pain for me organizing trips for me and seven of my friends, can imagine this is hard work, but gonna be worth it, top work :beer:

my cars currently been put back to standard and won't be advertised till march time. although having serious second thoughts and MAY do another year in her yet.

the original plan seemed more appealing to me-

Day 1 Calais to Stuttgart (Porsche museum) 475miles/7 hours
Day 2 Stuttgart to Munich (BMW Museum) 2 hours/150miles, and back to the Ring 5 hours/350miles
Day 3 Ring to Spa and home 4 hours/250 miles

although the current plan sounds good i'll be at munich on the saturday, then head over to the ring either saturday late afternoon or early sunday morning and spend till tuesday there. may try and fit spa in if dates are available over this weekend also. :beer:

Yep, agreed Shim. I'd say as soon as TD confirmed we need everyone to pay full amount by a certain date and button it up early.

Happy to handle that if you want Shim.

Ta

Let's see that we can def get the date and costs work and then well sort it.

[AlexGTT]

I am a bit on pluses bout how to pay for this trAckday. I'm not gonna take a 15k risk so I guess I've somehow got to get in cash and pay it out. bmW won't do that I don't think.

I will ask and see!

It's gonna have to be in January as well I guess so early payments.

It Would be good if BMW could get one or two of their DTM drivers there for tuition/laps in the e92:thumbs:

It would be even better if they brought their DTM cars with them.

[O'Neill]

We have potentially 75 CSLs and a few more cars.

I like to do new exciting tracks and this I one that I'd love to do, and possibly will never get the chance again.

See link, it is a fast circuit, sort of equivalent to a mix between Donny and Snetterton 200. DTM use it as well as motorbike racing and BmW use it for driver training around 50 times a year.

I'm trying to see if costs will be acceptable circa £250-300, which will include food and coaches etc. do it on the Tuesday after Munich (drive over Monday night and back him e Tuesday night/Wednesday morning)

My preference would be to get BMW to book the Salzburgring for us and they have promised to bring 3 E92M3 and 3 driver coaches.

Nothing is guaranteed until the dates are out and we have paid up but I want to see if there is the potential willingness to attend and possible numbers.

Let me know your thoughts good and bad? :smt055

Here is what it will be like with the CSLs out at the first corner
