I don't think those dates are for the public tourist laps mate. Try these:

Im realy up for getting to the ring this year,
A few of us are hoping to make a trip , Is there any idea on dates the Audi boys going?
Would love to see Prawns car in action,
Also did somebody mention a petrol station that did some kind of super potent fuel?

I'll be up for this as usual. I've had a quick look at the dates but I'm looking for week days this year so not sure if Prawn and co would rather do a weekend after last year?!

I'm look at the summer months from June really as every time I've been in may it's rained.

When would be good for you Paul?

Iv already said to prawn il be up for going again this year... Not sure on what his plans are though

Well i havent booked any holidays, I decided this year this came first,
For some reason i thought people mentioned july kind of time?
I more than agree a weekend would be mental busy, I was thinking ... if i had to do my own thing i would drag it out over a midweek into maybe a weekend ?
Im more than happy to listen to those who have been before as i may be way off.

I've been going for the last 10 years and it's been getting busier and busier each year. Last year was the worst I've seen but we did pick a bad weekend as there was a super bikes race on the GP circuit.

I'll have a proper look through the dates again tomorrow and see what's available on the week days. The main issue is that the track is normally only open 5pm-7pm during the week compared to all day at the weekend, but like you say, dragging it into a weekend might be a good idea.

im well up for this if it goes ahead, and my cars running properly by then lol, does everyone just meet at the ferry? or are you all local to eachother?

Tend to book it all in advance to stagger the costs. The hotel bill will only be a deposit at the moment and you'll clear the balance when leaving.

I've had another look at the dates and the week day tourist sessions are looking few and far between. At tue moment itw only showing dates up to July though and they're always subject to change.

haha fredo's i used to love them!! and tazo's, dont even think they do them now tho..

so nothing set in stone yet then, i suppose you cant book the hotel until you know when you can get in there either, im well keen for a trip tho, been wanting to go for years but never got it together..

The official dates released so far are only for weekends:

There are a few Mondays in there too so it might be a good idea to make a trip cover a Monday as most of the German locals should be back at work making the place less busy.

yeah good thinking, well just keep me up to date on what you intend on doing and when you want to book and we'll sort something out, im 100% interested in going tho

I'm going in the middle of July. Going to watch the German GP aswell as stopping off at some other places on the way. Taking 1week off work (17th July to 25th July) yes i know that's longer than a week but i thought i'd need a day off to recoop before work. ha

Has there been anymore progress with this?

I think most people want to go after June and at the moment the opening times and dates only go up to June This is the problem we have every year.

Ah, Sorry for the short post. I was on my dinner and thinking what holidays i need to save for various things this year,
Im also working out what i want to have done to the car by then,

A Ring trip is going to be a last minute decision for me this year I think. Got 2 holidays to pay for, and engine build and i'm looking to buy a house! Hopefully I'll still be able to make it as I do enjoy it.

depending on the "when" factor, id be up for the ring trip,

Apparently there's more dates for the ring.

I'm unfortunately having to pull out of any trip this year. I'm about to buy a house which means my life is as good as over

I know the feeling but I'm not going to own a house at the end of it
