Didn't you say 2nd to 7th of june initially? You said first weekend in june iirc. Eiherway I've now taken these days off so if it's gonna be 6th to 12th I won't be able to make it this year as I can't get days off then.

Na I said the dates around then, I can't confirm anything until Nurburg releases dates, but as me & a few others are doing the nitro tour I need to try and tie it in.

Dates released up to 20 june on the ring site but nothing for the weekdays from 30th May - 10th june. Maybe still to be decided??

Last week in May looks like the one to go for unless it's a German half term for example when it could be busy (we got caught out on a German Bank Holiday a few years back and it was heaving all day):

I'm really hoping to get out there at some point this year. We took mountain bikes last year and can definitely recommend spending a few hours exploring the track whilst the testing is on during the weekdays. Riding up to the inside of the Carousel was good as was standing on the bridge at the top of Adenau Forst after a long hard ride through the forest! Good times before spending the evening driving!

6th to 10th of june? Thats monday to friday, no weekend this year? Could be a bad idea as the ring has the best public track times on weekends usually! Saturday and sunday you normally have track open the whole day, during the week its mostly 2 or 3 hours only due to manufacturers using it as a test track.

Just spoke to the guys at the Ring and they´re still working on this years calender and squeezing in all the events and races that will take place there. After that they will release the public track times and full calender for 2011. Unfortunately they don´t know yet when this will be finished.

Ok guys, Bruce asked me to get in touch with the Ring and see what the status is regarding public track time around our ring trip date(s). In short term: looking bad!

At the moment the plan lists 29th of may for public track time. Then there is a big gap followed by the 11th of june being the next available public track day.

The gap in between is on purpose. There will be the well know Rock am Ring concert from 2nd to 5th of june. And they close the track for that time plus for a couple of days before and after the event.

They said they have no plans of changing that in any way. So looks like you´ll have to find a different date for us Bruce. Sorry for not coming up with better news... :(
