A new year, a new big FinalGear ringmeet!
As it was a big success last year (Review-thread, beware: 80 MB of pictures on the first page alone!) the Oldtimer Grand-Prix is the event to stick to, it's from 12th to 14th of August again.
We will stay at the same camping site as last year, it's Viktoria Station (only german and dutch, about half an hour from the parking lot at the Nordschleife entrance), but there are a few hotels around there, too, for the pussies who don't want to sleep two nights in a tent. We get a power outlet but probably not enough multi-outlet power strips so please have your cellphone or whatever charged fully before setting off.
Official prices are 7,50 Euro per night for car and tent plus 4,80 Euro per night and person, but as we will be a large group we should get a rebate, my estimation is about 8-9 Euro all-inclusive per night and person if you are there with a car or about 3 Euro if you are there without a car.

The twitter feed is still active and will most definitely be updated over that weekend, too.
Detailed planning is made in #ringmeet in IRC so if you want to contribute you are welcome to participate.
A scenic route for the Saturday drive will be worked out, we will be given a roadbook and then drive through the nice countryside around the 'ring to the camping site.
Most people will arrive there Friday in the afternoon or evening, but some will arrive earlier or later, too. If you want to attend, but don't have a car or don't want to drive there, there are plenty of possiblities by plane or train, just ask if someone can pick you up. Since there are so many attendants from all kinds of geographic directions, it's quite likely someone will go by the airport/train station where you will arrive.
