this is coming up sooner than you think...
21st May 2010, Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz, nearest city is Nurnberg. (
http://imm2010.de/en_GB/Home/Und-wo )
Not to be confused with Nurburg... some 450km to the north west, closer to Ireland and home to a certain race track,
http://www.nuerburgring.de/en/nuerburgr ... track.html
now wouldn't that make a fine spot for the IMOC track day??
How about a visit to the Nordschleife on the return from IMM 2010; i can see the t-shirts already!

You're slow off the mark Keith, KMG has been planning this since last year.
Hence the building of "Die Autobahngeschwindigkeitenvagen"
A fully carbon fiber Mini Marcos shell weighs just 7.25kg.

if, and its a big if, you are heading to college after the LC, the IMM usually falls during college holidays. Roll on IMM 2011 (
http://imm2011.com/ )

I mentioned in any earlier post that we had German guests who could give travelling advice. Rainer sent me the following:
Hello Billy
I saw in your forum you are thinging about driving on the Nordschleife.
The Nordschleife is nearly on your way.
I asked googlemaps. If you come via Rotterdam to Europe you have to drive
708km to Neumarkt. The Park in Geiselwind is 103 km away from Neumarkt.
http://www.freizeitlandgeiselwind.de/in ... nc=english
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source= ... 128418&z=6
If you want do visit the nurburgring on your return its only 63km more.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source= ... e=UTF8&z=6
Neumarkt -> Nurburgring / Nordschleife -> Rotterdam --> 770 km.
If you plan to drive on the Nordschleife please ask before at the
information from Nurburgring. There is the ADAC-24hour-Race one week
before. In 2009 we drove to the Nordschleife to test some software and
it was closed. So check before if the Nordschleife is open for public
traffic.

For anyone who may be interested, the first 10 entry numbers for the 2010 IMM are being auctioned off for charity on E-Bay.
Here is a link to all of the auctions, there is already considerable interest in the number 1 plate.

If you're driving you would want to allow 3 days to get there and 3 days to get home.

Correct, but it might cost me nothing if I can gather enough Tesco vouchers.

Yes, all club members will be send IMM entry forms in the New Year and all IMOC entries are chanelled through the club. It saves us all bank fees and makes life easier for the IMM organising club.
