TAFKARM Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I used to go to the Nürburgring regularly, multiple trips a year. Sadly, my last trip was 2016 and my mate Dave hasn't been since 2014. We've both got the day off tomorrow so decided to head over for a day trip. The rough plan is this: Leave at 0600 Tunnel at 0850 Arrive Nürburgring around 1400 Catch up with some old friends, spot of lunch until track opens for TF @ 1715 1715 - 1900 laps! Head home at 1900 for the 2330 tunnel Tucked up in bed by 0100. The weather forecast is hot and stormy. Happy to keep you up to date on progress if anyone cares. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAFKARM Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 We can’t figure out how to reset the odometer so no mileage tracking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has satnav it’s easier and trip A can be set so it resets when you fill up. On non nav models it’s a bit of a hunt through the menus to find it.
