Marcos Euregio Meeting - 26/28 September
Christian and Wolfgang have sent the following information about the 2008 Marcos
Euregio Meeting:
Back from the Le Mans Classic now the Marcos Euregio Meeting is coming. The organizing ADAC did change some things for 2008.
The name is changed from "Classic" to "Eifelrennen" (in earlier days one of the big events on the Ring).
The Marcos club will get a warm welcome as one of the first and regular clubs attending this event. Similar to the earlier events the ADAC
offer a special Club package for 150Euro the weekend including entry tickets for the team = 2 persons, the tickets allow you to visit all races,
parking in the Paddock on a Marcos Club parking zone, free access to paddock, pits and all grandstands around the complete circuit and attendance
for the 2 regularity runs on the Nordschleife with a total of 2 1/4 hours, official start numbers, official timer for every car are included.
Helmets are obligatory for driver and co-driver!! no sound limits, no speed limits.
Compared to the Le Mans Classic "tour de piste" we have no pace car, so everybody can set his own speed and in the sense of a regularity run not the quickest
will be the winner, but the team best equalizing their own presetting. At first view looks very easy, but you should not forget you drive on the Nordschleife
and the length of each lap is nearly 21 km. Or you drive "just for fun" or as quick as you want. The start procedure is every 30 seconds a car, so even after
the start procedure you don't have traffic and can find your rythm and drive your line.
The "Hotel Nord" Rheinbach offers a special rate (10% off) for the Marcos owners and offer a closed & guarded garage.
(Please book direct, but please e-mail Christian if you have problems with the language.)
As in former years no problem to come
with a mobile home or tent, parking for trailer on a guarded parking area as well possible.
Friday evening we meet in the "Rheinbacher Brauhaus", Saturday evening in Tom's workshop for a Barbecue in the Cafeteria of the GTC and some "fuel talks".
Reservation for your Marcos is only possible via the Entry list and payment of the entry fee directly to the ADAC.
Definite deadline is the 20 August 2008. I want to remain all of us, that in 2007 it was not possible to get tickets after the deadline as
in earlier years, so the best is to book as soon as possible.
We will be glad to see as many Marcos as possible and it would be very helpful to inform other Marcos owners & friends.
For the organisation we ask you to send a short email to BAUFI-Fey@web.de if you will join the event.
Happy cornering and see you in September
