I will be at the ring next week. Any great hotel suggestions? Where do the F1 people stay. Porsche factory Monday. Wish my 3 was here not at home

 

For a hotel I would recommend Tiergarten (for the great racing heritage atmosphere found from their Pistenklause restaurant!) or Dorint (F1 people place)

I usually stay there in a villa outside the place...

 

F1 People usually stay in the Dorint Hotel, I also stayed there on my first trip to the Ring. Sadly the price on the weekend is 188 €/night

Here you`ll find infos for Hotels:

at the moment there is just the german version online

otherwise try www.hrs.com Most of the time they offer better prices then you`ll find on the hotel-websites!

Enjoy your trip, can`t wait for my next visit!!

 

+1 for Am-Tiergarten

Tiergarten = steeped in 'Ring culture, Sabine owns it (or her family does), and steaks to die for!!!

just do it

 

Definitely am tiergarten. The restaurant (Pistenkaluse) is a great place and the Schmitz family are great people. I always stay there.

 

Tiergarten is the place to be. Its the only 3 star hotel with a million dollars worth of cars parked out front on any given weekend.

Also order the steak on a stone at the PK(resturant to the tiergarten), another ring classic.

 

Here is my RS outside the Tiergarten......

 

Dorint is a downright over-priced for what it is, it's a 3.5* hotel where some famous blokes happen to stay once a year. Rooms clean but basic, food not that great either.
Never stayed at the Tiergarten but if it happens to be full, there are good options in Wiesemscheid, a few minutes away by car.

 

What are you driving on the Ring? I rented a Cayman S from Avis in Frankfurt in May.

Apparently I was forbotten from driving it on the Ring, but I never saw it in the contract, nor did I get any grief from anyone.

Enjoy it, it is awesome.

 

All cars from car rentals are not allowed at the ring except those ring car rentals where you specially rent cars for the ring.


Do you speak german? There are some family owned pensions directly in Nurburg. You will find them via http://www.tourist-info-nuerburg.de/.../pensionen.php Those aren't 3 or 4* rooms, but the most are nice to stay and you get a real good breakfast the next morning.

Sadly most of those owners don't speak english very well, so if you need some help: let me know.

 

I can remember the name of it but in '03 I stayed at a little B&B that is right by track near the bridge. sorry i dont know the name of the track sections. the B&B is actually visible from the track and is nicely modelled in gran tourismo. the owner at the time had a aprilia 1000 and i saw him out on the ring that afternoon blowing by my lowly bmw 320 rental.

 

I had no issues with bringing the Cayman on the Ring, the attendant didn't say anything at the gate. I wasn't aware that rentals weren't allowed on the Ring until I posted something on 6Speed about my trip.

 

I stayed at the Hotel Zurburg and there were plenty of drivers staying there at the time. Reasonably priced and the rooms were not bad.

 

They are not forbidden by the Nurburgring GmbH, they are forbidden within your rental contract! Anywhere in it is a passage about "using the car on a race- or test-track" or something like that (I know that only in german).
