don cook1 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I know its difficult sorting out accommodation and stuff like that but why do the numbers of entrants have to be limited. I think as long as people sort out their own accommodation ala 10CR '03 then...the more the merrier. The final evening could perhaps be a town/city square packed with Triumphs with participants ensconced in hotels, hostels or camp sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Everyone - calm down - it's not like there will be a limit of 10 cars... it's way more than we expect to enter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 All,The Spitfire Aces' advice, having done the Nurburgring, is not to.At least not as part of the 10CR.It is treacherous and unforgiving. If you went there first, while fresh, perhaps, but not after 48 hours of near continuous driving as in 2005.And not as part of a bigger event. No one who made it to the 'Ring last time had to stay there, but it could easily strand you out there, however carefully you 'potter around'.The Minis do a "Brands to the 'Ring Run", also for charity, I believe like the RBRR. No harm in nicking good ideas!As Triumph should go one better, how about a Cadwell (the Mini-Ring) to the Real 'Ring Run? Pleasingly, almost exactly 500 miles each way.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those German tourists thought it was funny though. Oh and I wonder if the French authorities have tidied up that stretch of road where you decided to remove a good deal of street furniture?

jonathan binnington Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 If I hadn't seen the ring from the back of your government issue laguna I would have said you were being too cautious, but having been there and seen that and seen how some of the other buggers thrash around, I agree with you John. The 'ring is no place to be fannying around in a touring car that still has 500 miles to do to get you home! Caveat Conduireany chance of having an indication of the itinerary beforehand to help decisions about entries?jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raider Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 The more CT members you get in it the more championship points the Herald?Vitesse range get :D It will even get the bonus points for having done 10CR before ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32valves Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Scrapman and Chinn you cheeky bu****s, you seem to be confused between 'enthusiastic' driving and trashing my clutch ! And anyway, I'd always wanted to do the Stelvio and it was my car so there :P (earlier on, showing those kids in their Impreza WRX how to really drive was just sweet, twice the power and no bollox hahahahahaha!) Another thing, how does my request to 'keep to about 70' on the autobahn equate to the actual speed you were doing while you thought I was asleep ? I think you may want to reconsider who was responsible for the most abuse ;DSeriously though the whole thing was just brilliant, I have no regrets whatsoever. I was so proud of the way my car performed throughout and would have you both as co-drivers any time ;) It is with a little sadness that I will be selling LCG soon :(, but the replacement will be even better !

I recall something along those lines. Things started to go a "bit strange" at that point.
