does anyone have any secret tips for hotels for the race? i'm struggling to find anything cheaper than 110 euros a night, which is beyond my poverty budget..

The InterCity booked through expedia should set u back around 100 pounds per room for the saturday and sunday nights.

I have a few customers in Nürnberg, I'll give them a call. Maybe they know of something good and not too expensive.

Any luck Bella? The Master race should be good, wish I was going....have to wait till Zandvoort!

this'll be my 4th (erk) dtm meeting this year, although i'll admit i've not actually managed to sit through the dtm race yet!

i'm going to go for the intercity hotel, the way it's panned out with the flights means that i don't need a car, and the hotel is right next to the railway station. hurrah.

although how far outside the centre is the track? is there public transport to and from it?

South west suburbs, I think Shuttle buses run from the station to the track

its in the south east

if you got "google earth" you can find it at 49°25'53.25" N 11°07'30.51" E right next to the 2006 world cup stadium

i found it on there, just my general nurnberg geography is a bit arse

from the circuit to the station is absolutely ideal. sadly my german is a bit crap, and the german on the norisring website translates really badly through an online translator, so i'm winging it a bit!

thanks for your help so far guys

Just had a look around Bella and the train is looking a good option. The Norisring is next to Dutzendteich railway station, which is only 15 mins train ride from the main station near your hotel and you can walk from Dutzendteich Station to the track, should only set you back a few euros.

especially since the hotel provide free public transport tickets... ty for that.

see, the germans do it like this and make our weak attempts at motorsport and/or public transport look a bit, well, weak. although to be completely fair nurnberg's a bit of a random place, a track in the middle of the suburbs and an airport at the other end of the town's pretty good luck...

The DTM is the best value racing in Europe to me. We're doing Zandvoort including flights, hotel and grandstand for not much more than a British GP general admission ticket.

likewise, i think what you actually get for your money is very very good - the polos are fantastic, the fbmws need their heads reading, the eurof3 is..... er i'm biased so i won't comment, and the dtm itself is one heck of a spectacle. and they do go to some outstanding tracks.

i've already been to zandvoort once this year, and it was brilliant, and i can't wait to go back again. hopefully for better weather this time though!

then again, at the same time, the dtm itself seems an awful way up it's own bottom, even if it does let the fans at least have a bit of fun. it's given me one of my more bizarre memories though - oschersleben pitlane, with some very random germans pretending to be spanish, doing a cover of the birdy song on the stage they put up during the pitwalk...

especially their heavy handed security in the green jackets!

final note on this - norisring is absolutely brilliant. i'd recommend it to anyone. so easy to get around, brilliant city to be a tourist in as well, and the racing is great.

crowd figure was 142,000. beat that, toca...
