The Plan

We're going to be working out the plan on the 15th January, 2016 at a pub called The Thirsty Bear in London.

Last year during the planning drinks we sorted out the cross-Channel method and times and where to stay. This year will probably be more of the same, but will also include what cars to take and when to actually go.

If you want to come to Germany but can't make it to London for planning, don't worry about it, it's not required. Make sure you let someone know about any dates you can't do, ideas or suggestions you have.

The Cars

While we haven't decided what we're doing about cars yet, we do know they'll be cheap, probably quite small, and fun. Last year (as you might have noticed) we all had a Ford Puma - whether or not we all take the same kind of car this year or branch out into "something that costs £X or less" will be decided at the planning drinks.

Ideas for 2016 so far have included:

If any of those numbers seem slow to you, consider that the Pumas we terrified ourselves in last year were 9.2, 126, 123.

The Teams

We don't know yet! We do know, however, that Matt Squirrell and Mike Fitch will both be returning.

2015

We learned quite a lot during our trip in 2015:

  • May 1st is a bank holiday in Germany
  • "Eyebrows" take the paint off the bonnet of the car they are attached to
  • Pumas are amazing
  • Nürburgring is terrifying when you're a passenger
  • German toilets are weird
  • Putting a huge exhaust on a car you plan to drive at a constant speed for hours is stupid
  • Taking a road trip to Nürburgring is one of the best ideas we've ever had
We plan to learn more exciting stuff in 2016, too.
