Berg Cup - Going to watch it

[stealthstylz]

Me and a couple of mates are planning a lads holiday, and what better place to go than to a round of the Berg Cup (we've all got girlfriends, so Fannyraki or Ibeaver are out of the question lol)

Does anybody know a website that lists the dates of the events? IIRC there's one in Luxembourg that is closest?

if you look at the first three from this year

Land Datum Rennen Faktor Ergebnis Rennbericht
1 Luxemburg 07. / 08. Mai 2011 European Hill Race Eschdorf -
Das European Hill Race, das von der " Union des Piltes " bestens organisiert wird, besticht immer wieder durch seine große Quantität an Rennsportfahrzeugen und seiner Qualität an internationalen Spitzenfahrern. Die breite, neu asphaltierte Strecke bietet den Fahrern optimale Bedingungen und den Zuschauern beste Sicht auf die langgezogenen Kurven.

2 Deutschland 12. / 13. Juni 2011 49. Wolsfelder AvD / EMSC Bergrennen -
In den letzten Jahren wurde die enge und kurvenreiche Piste mit Sprintcharakter auf dem Wolsfelder Berg in punkto Sicherheit für Fahrer und Zuschauer nochmals verbessert. Die Strecke zählt zu den sichersten Bergrennstrecken in Deutschland. Der Startbereich liegt innerorts.

3 Deutschland 25. / 26. Juni 2011 17. ADAC Ibergrennen Heiligenstadt - ABGESAGT ! -
Eine Bergrennstrecke in Thüringen mit Tradition. Bereits in den zwanziger und siebziger Jahren wurden auf dieser recht kurzen steilen Piste Meisterschaften ausgefahren. Das Fahrerlager in der Innenstadt, mit Tankstelle, Restaurants, Supermarkt und Hotels ist einmalig.

Matt,

Be advised - the villages they hit are booked out solid, usually including camping - so you may be 'in the region' but need to drive to see anything - and local plods are sh*t hot on drink-drive reg's - so make sure no-one is still suffering the effects next morning if behiond the wheel.

If you keep me posted - I'll gladly head over with the little one and meet up for a day or two....

You're always welcome to use my place as a staging stop-off, or I could ask the GF's parents for their rental flat if it's in the 'ring area.
If anything at the 'ring takes your fancy(that's what SHE said) - they are only 30KM from it. Let me know....

Eschdorf is great to go to. Can walk along the whole track (not always the case) and the paddock is at the top of the hill in the village. Great atmosphere!

Cheers John, will be in touch.

I'm gonna keep a close eye on the website to so I can get the race dates, then try and get the closest camp site we can.

Cheers for the help.
