Hotels
-
Grand Hotel Huis ter Geul (The Netherlands)
A great place to stay in the Spa town of Valkenburg, The Netherlands. We stay there every year during 'Corvette Fame'. It is within walking distance to just about every thing the town has to offer, and you can't beat the price! The staff speak and write English, so you won't have any problems. -
Chateau-de-Grandcamp (France)
If you are in the Normandy, France area, and need a great place to stay check out this 'Bed & Breakfast'. This has become "our hotel" for our club trips to Normandy. It is well situated between many of the "D-Day" sites, and you can't beat breakfast with homemade rolls, butter and jam! The staff speak and write English, so you won't have any problems. -
Ringberg Hotel (Germany)
This is a great hotel in Suhl, the 'Former East Germany'. If you are looking for a nice quite weekend, great service and great food this is the place to stay. There are many sites to see in the area including the old 'East / West border' and many small towns, cities and great 'country driving'. The staff speak and write English, so you won't have any problems.

RentRaceCar
Track Rental / Training - Ok you want to drive the 'Nordschleife' but don't want to do it in your car? How about renting a car, they have many types for all budgets, which has been specially setup for use on the 'Green Hell'? The cars are loaded with all the safety gear (bring your own helmet if you want to use one) such as roll bars, harness... They have GREAT service! -
Race-Training
Training - Oliver Grams conducts both individual and group training at tracks all over Europe. If you want to get out and learn to drive a track, take one the classes offered! There is no experience required, and depending on the students training starts with a description of forces acting on your car to exactly how to take each curve/turn on your selected track. I've taken classes with Oliver at Hockenheimring (several times), Zolder (Belgium) and at the 'Nordschleife' and learn a lot each time.
