Ring Run 2009
The plan...
After the last 2 years trips to the Nurburgring, we thought it would be rude not to do another! This year it has been named the Ring Run 2009. Ring Run 2009 is going to set off from Leeds, West Yorkshire on the 20th June, heading down to Lille for the first night stop. We will then head on to Liege for the second night stop, after which we head to the Nurburgring for an evening session of lapping the Nordschleife. After an evening spent at the Ring we will head back to Rotterdam for the over night ferry to Hull.
The cars...
This year we will be taking 6 cars, these will be a BMW Z4 3.0, Renault Sport Clio 197 Cup, Renault Sport Clio 197, Skoda Octavia VRs, , Mini Cooper S Works and a Volvo S60R.
